Middelburg, Mpumalanga – In the heart of Mpumalanga’s transport hub, BB Truck Middelburg has become synonymous with trust, reliability, and lasting partnerships. Since opening its doors in 2011, the dealership has proudly carried forward the legacy of the BB Group, established in 1959, while embodying UD Trucks’ guiding philosophy: Going the Extra Mile.
Building Milestones, Building Trust
From the outset, BB Truck Middelburg has made a mark on South Africa’s trucking industry. In 2014, the dealership hosted the national launch of the 450HP Quon on its own floor — a moment that showcased its ambition and industry credibility. Recognition followed in 2021 when BB Truck Middelburg was crowned Medium Dealer of the Year at UD Trucks’ Annual Dealer Conference, cementing its reputation for excellence.
Dealer Principal Martin Lombard credits the dealership’s success to consistent teamwork and a customer-first approach:
“Our success is built on trust. From day one, our focus has been putting the customer first — and never leaving them stranded.”
Leadership That Delivers
The strength of BB Truck Middelburg lies in its leadership team, united by a shared “can-do” ethos:
- Martin Lombard, Dealer Principal: Champions a customer-first vision.
- Evance Sibanda, Sales Manager: Ensures the right truck is matched to every job.
- Frikkie Briers, Workshop Manager: Keeps fleets on the move.
- Riaan van Rensburg, Parts Manager: Guarantees genuine UD parts are always ready.
Together, they have fostered a dealership where urgency, pride, and dedication define every customer interaction.
“We don’t just sell trucks,” says Evance Sibanda. “We build partnerships that last.”
Going the Extra Mile in Every Service
BB Truck Middelburg has earned its reputation by acting decisively when it matters most. One story perfectly illustrates this: when a customer’s truck broke down late one afternoon, the easy choice would have been to wait until morning. Instead, the BB team mobilized immediately, working through the night under challenging conditions. By sunrise, the truck was back on the road — and the customer’s business was back in motion.
Workshop Manager Frikkie Briers explains:
“When a truck is down, a business is down. We’ll do whatever it takes to get our customers moving again.”
This commitment isn’t just service excellence — it’s UD Trucks’ philosophy of going the extra mile brought to life, making BB Truck Middelburg more than a dealership, but a trusted partner in every journey.

The dealership also remains committed to supporting local businesses, uplifting the community, and embracing sustainable practices.
Parts Manager Riaan van Rensburg emphasizes:
