No doubt, every variation of a motor vehicle assembled serves a unique purpose and significance to its target market. But none can boast about having quite the niche as one particular Toyota Hiace. It shares space with its cousin, the Toyota Hiace Ses’fikile, and together they form the heartbeat of the South African economy.
The Hiace transports thousands of members of the Mzansi workforce to and from their places of employment daily. To state that this model is utterly important is not reaching, it is a fact. Our freeways are filled with a blur of minibus taxis, and you are bound to find a Toyota Hiace in the midst of it.
Our people mover has grown to become crucial to the functioning of the South African economy. Not only does it provide transport to people who cannot afford a private mode of transport, but it provides transport to the very drivers who operate it.
