HMD and Rokbak flexible financing solutions making an impact in West Africa

Since Heavy Machinery Dealership (HMD) introduced the Rokbak brand to Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Benin, Guinea, and Côte d'Ivoire, the impact the RA30 and RA40 haulers have made has only been matched by the availability of attractive financing solutions

It was in June that Rokbak, an articulated hauler manufacturer and member of Volvo Group, partnered with HMD in order to bring its ADTs to customers in the West African countries. In doing so, customers in the region were able to access the RA40 and RA30 haulers, machines with a robust design and enhanced fuel efficiency that are well-equipped to meet the challenging landscape of West Africa.

The haulers have reportedly been making their mark on various sites in the countries but, according to Rokbak, it is just not the machines that are drawing attention. Through UK Export Finance (UKEF), the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) and a network of PRIs, HMD customers also have access to competitive financing packages. These solutions are designed to reduce the financial burden of fleet expansion with affordable interest rates, extended repayment periods and structured payment plans tailored to meet the demands of West African operations.

“I am very excited to offer ECA and PRI backed financing as it is a massive support to us and our customers,” remarked 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.”
