Since Heavy Machinery Dealership (HMD) introduced the Rokbak brand to Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Benin, Guinea, and Côte d’Ivoire, the RA30 and RA40 articulated haulers have not only made a significant impact on various projects but have also gained attention for the availability of flexible financing solutions.
In June, Rokbak, a member of Volvo Group specializing in articulated haulers, partnered with HMD to bring its RA30 and RA40 machines to West Africa. Designed for durability and fuel efficiency, these haulers are well-suited to the region’s demanding landscapes, including infrastructure and mining projects.
Beyond the equipment’s reliability, customers in the region have benefited from competitive financing packages facilitated through UK Export Finance (UKEF), the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN), and a network of Political Risk Insurers (PRIs). These financing solutions are tailored to West Africa’s operational demands, offering affordable interest rates, extended repayment periods, and structured payment plans that alleviate the financial strain of fleet expansion.
“I am very excited to offer ECA and PRI-backed financing as it is a massive support to us and our customers,” said Matthew Khouri, CEO of HMD. “These financing options demonstrate our commitment to not just selling equipment but truly partnering with our customers to ensure their success and growth.”
Paul Douglas, managing director of Rokbak, added, “The availability of flexible financing opens up new opportunities for customers across West Africa to access dependable Rokbak machines. Together with HMD’s local expertise, we are empowering businesses to take on major projects with the right tools and resources to drive infrastructure and economic development across the region.
“We see enormous potential for Rokbak in West Africa, where infrastructure development and mining activity are accelerating. Our aim is to be more than a supplier, rather a partner committed to establishing a lasting presence in the region.”
