Your truck is generating valuable information every kilometre it travels. Are you using it? 🚛📊

Fuel consumption. Driver behaviour. Routes. Maintenance. Uptime.

When that data is connected and put to work, it can help fleet operators spot inefficiencies, reduce costs, support drivers and keep trucks moving.

Mark Gavin, Sales Director: DAF Trucks at Babcock, explores why data is becoming one of a modern truck fleet’s most valuable assets – and how connectivity is helping transform the way fleets are managed.

Total cost of ownership matters!
The purchase price is only one part of the equation.

True cost includes:
✔️Fuel
✔️Maintenance
✔️Downtime
✔️Resale value

Experienced operators focus on the full lifecycle.

➡️ Do you track lifecycle cost across your fleet?

What does a fleet operator look for when replacing trucks?

For Pangolin Logistics, the priorities were clear: reliability, fuel efficiency, driver comfort and support that keeps trucks moving.

After only four months in service, Pangolin’s new DAF XF 480 and XF 530 trucks are already saving between 80 and 100 litres of diesel per trip, depending on the route and driver. 🚛

Ten new trucks. Real operating results. And a fleet choice shaped by decades of transport experience.

Every decision leaves a footprint.
Not just the big ones.
The everyday decisions.

How we use resources. How we manage waste. How we plan our work. How we protect the environment around us.

For Thamuso, Environmental Practitioner at Babcock in Africa, sustainability isn't something that belongs to one department - it's something every one of us contributes to.

Her passion is helping people see that protecting the environment starts long before legislation or compliance. It starts with awareness, responsibility and the choices we make every day.

This Women's Month, we're proud to celebrate the women whose expertise is helping build a more sustainable future for our business, our customers and the communities we serve.

What separates strong fleets?
✔️Consistency.
✔️Maintenance discipline.
✔️Driver management.
✔️Strong technical partnerships.

Success in transport is rarely accidental. It’s operational discipline over time.

➡️ What operational habit improved your fleet performance most?

A day on the course. An impact that goes far beyond it. ⛳

We were proud to once again support the Fleetwatch Golf Day, helping raise funds to provide school uniforms for children from the Siyathuthuka Centre in the Van Reenen Pass area.

At Babcock, Be Kind is more than a core principle. It’s about showing up, giving back and making a meaningful difference in the communities around us.

Thank you to FleetWatch for bringing the industry together for a great cause and giving us the opportunity to play our part. 💛

Someone believed in you.
Think about that for a moment.

Behind every engineer, artisan, technician and leader is someone who took the time to teach, encourage and open a door.

For Kathryn, Head of Learning and Development at Babcock in Africa, that's the most rewarding part of her role. Helping people discover what they're capable of, build confidence and grow into the next stage of their careers.

This Women's Month, we're celebrating the people who don't just build projects - they help build people. Because when we invest in people, we invest in the future of our business and the future of industry.
