That’s a wrap on our October journey.

This Transport Month, we followed the automotive journey through Gauteng, from first investment enquiry to global markets. Here’s where it leads:

MAKE: Investor support through investSA and our subsidiary and industrial locations such as the Automotive Supplier Park in Rosslyn.

MOVE: Supplier development, manufacturing excellence and future-ready skills in automation, robotics and new energy vehicle technologies.

GROW: Incubation for emerging enterprises, the people behind production, and routes to markets in South Africa, Africa and beyond.

More than a factory. An automotive ecosystem.

When these parts connect, Gauteng becomes a stronger place to make, move and grow.

Gauteng: Where Journeys Begin.

Made in Gauteng. Connected to markets. 🌍

Every locally made product starts a journey: from the factory floor, through the supply chain, to the customer.

New air and logistics links are taking shape to help Gauteng-made products move further. Lanseria is planning a dedicated air cargo precinct, the Vaal Special Economic Zone and aerotropolis is proposed for the south of the province, and the Gauteng Air Access Network is working to grow air routes for passengers and cargo.

Beyond our borders, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) aims to create a single market for goods and services across the continent.

Every vehicle is built from thousands of parts. Who supplies them?

Local businesses can. But entering the automotive value chain takes more than an idea. It takes workspace, mentorship, training and business support. That’s where incubation comes in.

Our subsidiary the AIDC runs incubation programmes that help emerging, Black-owned enterprises build sustainable automotive businesses, with subsidised workspace, mentorship, professional training, financial support and business development.

During the programme, incubatees supply components directly to vehicle manufacturers’ production lines.

Meet Mpho Hlongwane Nkgabutle Founder and CEO of MH Automotive Engineering, one of the entrepreneurs growing their business through AIDC incubation.

“Youth entrepreneurships is the key tool to developing modern solutions that will open doors to more opportunities.” - Mpho Hlongwane Nkgabutle.

From emerging enterprise to automotive supplier.

The vehicles are changing. Manufacturing must move with them.

New energy vehicles bring new components, new skills and new ways of producing. Future mobility is a connected system, linking vehicles, components, production, skills, energy and transport.

Gauteng is preparing industry for this transition. At the Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Rosslyn, our subsidiary Automotive Industry Development Centre is training people in new energy vehicle technologies, alongside automation, robotics and digital manufacturing.
Advanced production. Skilled people. Connected systems.
