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.”
