In the local commercial vehicle ambit, bakkies rule the roost. As monthly sales charts attest, models such as the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max dominate, with a good chunk accounted for by the fleet market.
However, if you need an enclosed solution for your cargo needs, a panel van remains a handy tool.
Here is an overview of all the new options available in Mzansi:
Suzuki Eeco 1.2 | From: R212,900
- Payload: 615kg
- Cargo volume: Unconfirmed
The compact Suzuki Eeco, above, may not win prizes for looks, standard equipment levels or on-road refinement, but it sure can carry. A low sticker price coupled with a decent payload makes it a hit among business owners with a close eye on the bottom line.
