Terex Trucks appoints Angolan distributor

Terex Trucks has appointed Auto Maquinaria ( AMQA ) as official distributor for its complete range of ADTs and RDTs in Angola . AMQA will also provide aftermarket services and parts to customers throughout the country . AMQA is part of the NOR Group , one of the world ’ s
largest suppliers of industrial equipment for construction and infrastructure , and was chosen as Terex Trucks ’ official distributor in Angola because of its experience and knowledge of the market .
To complement its existing range of products , AMQA will
add all four Terex Trucks rigid haulers — the TR45 , TR60 , TR70 , and TR100 — as well as its TA250 , TA300 and TA400 articulated dump trucks .
Adriano David , sales director at AMQA , said , “ During the years of the global commodity boom , AMQA delivered a significant
number of ADTs to mines in Angola and even became the best seller of articulated haulers in the entire world in 2007 . However , with the increased depth of mines , many operations switched to the use of rigid dump trucks , which wasn ’ t a product we had to offer to customers — until now .”
