Tata’s 1518, 8 ton truck proves its Mettle with over 1 Million Kms and still going strong!
TATA PROVES ITS WORTH
With more than 1,1-million kilometres on its odometer, a Tata 8 tonne dropside that’s used as a maximum-load workhorse is well into its second decade of delivering exceptional service for Meyerton-based animal feedstock manufacturer, Hi-Performance Feeds.
When Charles Waller and his father decided in 2007 to buy a Tata 1518 for their business, they didn’t believe that, more than a decade later, the vehicle would still be capable of hauling maximum eight-ton loads on a daily basis across Gauteng, the Free State and Mpumalanga.
Sitting in the boardroom in an office complex at the family farm and animal feed factory near Meyerton – the walls adorned by an array of certificates which attest to his achievements as the local Chamber of Commerce’s Businessman of the Year – Waller says that buying the Tata was one of the best return-on-investment decisions he and his dad have ever made.
“Without the truck, we wouldn’t have been able to expand the operational capacity of Hi-Performance Feeds as effectively as we have,” he says. “The vehicle has played a vital part in the company’s growth – and, though it’s now covered more than 1,1-million kilometres, it’s still working as hard as it ever did.”
On those grounds he and his father have decided that, with the business still expanding, they’ve got good reason to add a second Tata to their delivery fleet – the latest Tata 8 tonne dropside. “It’s an easy decision,” he says. “Before buying our first Tata, my dad and I had tried various brands. Despite being more expensive, none of the vehicles lived up to our expectations. The low cost of ownership and the latest 5 year/500 000km warranty ensured that we made the right decision.
“When we told people we had decided on a Tata many thought we were making a mistake. They advised against it. But we had done a lot of research… for us, affordability was a key factor, but so was the brand’s reputation for reliability and efficiency.
“We were looking for a truck that would prove robust and economical; that would be easy to manoeuvre in and out of tight spaces; that would be quick to load and off-load; that would carry eight tons of feed three or four times a day, five days a week, and not break down; that would cope with inner city routes as efficiently as it would with open road driving.
“In all the years that we’ve had it, the Tata 8 tonner has excelled in all of those areas. The engine is brilliant. It has never been opened – and neither has the diff.”
The gearbox swap was carried out by Tata Meyerton, the outlet which also oversees major servicing of the vehicle. “We do all minor services ourselves,” says Waller. “Filters and oil are replaced every 10 000km – it’s a simple task even for self-taught mechanics.
“Major services and routine maintenance are left to the local dealer. We’ve been impressed by the high levels of dedication Tata Meyerton has shown – turnaround times are quick, which is vital to our business. In our promise to farmers we undertake to deliver feed within 24 hours of orders being received. We can’t afford to miss a deadline because the truck is stuck in a workshop.”
For the most part, the Tata plies routes from Meyerton to Stilfontein, Klerksdorp, Magaliesberg, Hammanskraal and Kriel, and also delivers feedstock to retail outlets in Johannesburg and Pretoria. For 90 percent of its service life it has been piloted by only two drivers.
“Each of them finds the truck comfortable,” says Waller, adding: “In that respect, they say it’s much better than any of the equivalent rival brands they have driven.”
Though he and his father have decided to buy a new Tata, they have no intention of trading in or selling the original. “I’d like to have it repainted and the interior refurbished,” says Charles.
“When we bought the vehicle, we had no idea that it would serve us so well for so long. If you’d asked me in 2007 whether I thought the truck would last for 12 years I probably would have said no – now I’m looking to at least a 20-year lifespan, perhaps even more. So, the plan is to have it repainted and branded with Hi-Performance Feeds’ new 3D logos and to spruce up the cabin.”
He reiterates that the truck has played a pivotal role in growing the company. “It’s definitely contributed to our expansion – and it’s proved exceptionally cost effective to run and maintain.
“Apart from the gearbox upgrade and having the height of the drop sides modified to better accommodate bags of feed – which Tata did for us at no cost when we bought the truck – the vehicle is stock standard.
“It has served us incredibly well and continues to do so. I’ll tell anyone who asks – Tatas are great. In my experience, the brand’s reputation for delivering uptime is well justified. This truck proves it.”

Boeing sets footprint in Africa with a headquarter in Johannesburg South Africa
Airplane manufacturer Boeing has announced the opening of two new offices in sub-Saharan Africa, in Nairobi, Kenya and Johannesburg, South Africa, respectively, in a bid to deepen its footprint in Africa. The Nairobi office will be staffed by Chamsou Andjorin, director government affairs and contain market development offices. J. Miguel Santos, managing director, sub-Saharan Africa, and director international sales for Africa will seat at the Africa headquarters in Johannesburg. According to Boeing, the market outlook projects that air traffic to and from Africa is expected to grow by about 6.1% annually over the next 20 years, resulting in the need for 1,150 new airplanes. The Africa head notes that the aerospace industry needs to start paying closer attention to Africa, because this continent is clearly on the move economically and all the trends are pointing in the right direction for the expansion of the sector. Indicators show that the GDP will continue to grow by almost 5% annually over the next decade.

No fancy cars, no chauffeur-driven convoys, no tiaras or swim wear or evening gowns as Miss World came to the World Cup.
31 national Miss World winners boarded public transport in downtown Johannesburg on Sunday, and took the bus to Soccer City stadium to see Brazil play Ivory Coast.
The beauty pageant winners represent all the countries competing at this year's FIFA World Cup tournament, except Miss North Korea.
Apart from promoting world peace, the girls all had opinions on their country's soccer teams and their stay in South Africa.
Miss Chile said the girls had shared a lot with the people they had met in South Africa, and had been treated very well. She noted that there were people living in South Africa from all around the world.
Miss New Zealand was still optimistic about her country's chances in the tournament, speaking as the All Whites drew 1-1 with current champions Italy.
Proudly wearing her team's shirt, the beauty queen said they've picked up so much since last time at the World Cup, I mean, the players all have what it takes.
Miss Japan noted that her country drew tough opponents Holland, Denmark and Cameroon in their group, but added everyone was quite surprised that we won against Cameroon... and now people are starting to have hope that we will make it through to the next round.
The girls' unexpected bus trip from Johannesburg's gritty central business district was part of a FIFA initiative to promote more use of public transport by fans attending World Cup games.
FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke and Local Organising Committee (LOC) CEO Danny Jordaan posed for photographs with the Miss World girls and rode with them on the Rea Vaya bus to Soccer City.
