VDS was established in 1988 and joined the OneLogix group in 2001. Initially operations focused on delivering vehicles from South Africa into Zimbabwe and other Southern African countries. In 2004 VDS entered the vehicle delivery market within South Africa, and is today a recognised leader in the local and cross-border auto-logistics markets.
The head office is based in Pomona, Kempton Park, with further branches in Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. In addition, VDS has depots in Harare, Zimbabwe and Lusaka, Zambia and a control point at Beitbridge.
VDS boasts a fleet of over 250 trucks and specialised car carrying trailers, which are serviced by a central workshop in Kempton Park. The fleet is monitored by a 24/7 centralised control room, ensuring
optimum delivery efficiency and security. In addition, a sophisticated, driver management system is in place.
The results of objective customer feedback allows VDS to claim an established record of superior customer service built around skilled and motivated staff and an industry leading IT platform that facilitates ease of interaction with customers and other stakeholders in the business.
CVDS was organically established in the group in 2007. Based in East London, with storage depots in Kempton Park and Durban, it delivers new commercial vehicles typically exceeding 3,5 tons on their own wheels to destinations throughout South Africa and neighbouring countries.
Objective delivery statistics generated by customers once again affirm a superior level of performance, reflecting efficient business systems directed by skilled and motivated staff.
United Bulk was established in 1996 and has since expanded to a fleet of more than 160 tankers operating throughout Southern Africa with depots in Vanderbijlpark and Worcester.
The company specialises in providing a solution to any liquid transport requirement, whether the product is agricultural, chemical, foodgrade, or liquid petroleum gas.
