At least 60 new trucks imported by Unifreight Africa under its Swift brand have arrived at the Beitbridge Border Post, as part of a 100-unit fleet expansion destined for Zimbabwe.
Unifreight Africa chief executive officer Richie Clark said the investment is set to strengthen capacity in both domestic and cross-border transport markets.
“The expansion of our fleet by an additional 100 trucks and trailers is a strategic move aimed at meeting growing demand across local and regional corridors,” Clark said.
He added that the move will enhance service reliability, improve turnaround times, and position the company to handle larger and more complex logistics contracts.
“As trade volumes continue to rise, particularly within regional corridors, the expanded fleet enables Swift to deepen its footprint in cross-border logistics while maintaining a strong domestic focus,” he said.
Clark noted that the additional capacity will support key sectors such as mining, agriculture, and retail distribution, where efficient transport is critical.
“Ultimately, this expansion reflects our commitment to growth, operational excellence, and delivering value through the scale and flexibility needed to meet evolving market demands,” he added.
The new trucks are expected to ease capacity constraints in Zimbabwe’s transport sector while boosting regional trade efficiency.
