New sales manager for Foton Margate
Jens de Bruyn, the new sales manager at Foton Margate, is ready to take the dealership to great heights on the South Coast.
And, with 29 years experience in the motoring industry, he believes that more South Coasters should embrace the brand.
'I am truly excited about Foton's vehicle range. Foton's quality, robustness and back-up make it a cost-effective alternative for buyers across the spectrum, from commercial to lifestyle applications.'
He added that another excellent aspect of the vehicles is their extensive use of established technology like the partnership with engine builder Cummins, ZF for gearboxes, BorgWarner for turbos, and other parts of the drivetrain.
'The value aspect will most certainly play a huge role, but it is the quality, look and feel of the bakkies and other vehicles that set them apart. People always worry about the availability of spares. There's no need to stress, we have a 10 000 m² parts distribution centre in Pretoria that will distribute parts to the dealerships in no time,' said Jens.
Foton Margate was officially launched in September last year and sells minibus taxis, shuttle busses, panel vans, a 2.5 ton truck, and single and double cab bakkies.
