The ABC Transport Plc, has added a range of purpose-built, heavy duty bulk cement carriers to the existing fleet of trucks of Lafarge Africa Plc.
The trucks since they were delivered to the company, have been deployed to use by the cement company.
This is coming barely few months after the company deployed a new fleet of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks to boost cement haulage at Lafarge Africa Plc.
A statement from ABC said that the new vehicles are designed to truck high tonnage of cement from the Lafarge factory to various construction sites where cement is in hot demand.
In this regard, this expansion has increased bulk cement delivery by ABC haulage to 150,000 tons yearly.

The leading road transport company, which marked its 32nd anniversary recently, has also acquired a new site not too far from the Lafarge cement factory in Cross River, to facilitate a more efficient maintenance and turnaround of trucks.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Jude Nneji, the Managing Director of ABC Transport, explained that the investments were part of the efforts to consolidate on the huge success so far recorded by ABC Hauls.
Nneji further stated that the fleet expansion was aimed at beefing up the capacity of ABC Hauls as one of Lafarge’s major transporters for the distribution of cement around the country.
The latest fleet expansion is expected to further cement the position of ABC Haulage, which, alongside Cargo Express, accounts for over 60 per cent of ABC Transport PLC’s operations.
ABC transport PLC is a diversified transportation company operating in the passenger, logistics and haulage segments of the industry.
