    Transnet and naamsa | The Automotive Business Council have signed a groundbreaking three-year collaboration agreement. This strategic partnership aims to facilitate the import of critical production components and export of assembled vehicles to global markets, both entities play a critical role in the promotion and expansion of international trade for South Africa. Through this partnership, both entities will jointly constitute a bi-lateral engagement committee “War Room” to assess, advise, resource and implement key initiatives to support activities of mutual benefit. Through the regular engagement of senior leadership and key representatives from both organisations, it is expected that a robust information-sharing hub/platform will support strategic initiatives to drive improved outcomes for both entities. naamsa | The Automotive Business Council and Transnet will jointly develop and implement a Crisis Mitigation Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which both entities will implement when specific urgent challenges are encountered and allocating appropriate human resources to address potential bottlenecks. This agreement entails, amongst other initiatives, collaboration on potential public-private sector partnerships; joint investment considerations; related opportunities to fully develop the South Corridor (Reef and Gqeberha). All of these primarily intended to enable movement of automotive units and parts on rail, thus easing congestion at the ports and reducing reliance on road transportation. This is in line with the Gqeberha/Ngqura Port Masterplan. Both entities will also jointly pursue a solution through Maputo Port as the preferred avenue for used vehicle imports in transit to African countries which would ease congestion at the Durban Port. This initiative will further address the illegal vehicle imports entering the South African market which negatively impact the fiscus via lost vehicle taxes, and which ultimately constrain the new vehicle market.
