Transporting Zambia

27 years of transport excellence in Zambia

Zambia is a wonderful country with many resources, one of which is the good nature of its people, as well as the stable working environment,” opens Graham Wright, Managing Director of Quattro Zambia.

Indeed, it is Zambia’s wealth of resources that accounts for the dominance of the country’s mining sector as a pillar of the national economy, contributing around 12 percent and 75 percent of GDP and exports respectively. Zambia is the seventh largest producer of copper in the world, and is home to the world’s largest emerald mine, producing around 20 percent of the world’s emeralds. Mining contributes to 77 percent of total export value, and 27 percent of government revenues within the country.

With over 27 years of experience in the field, Quattro has grown simultaneously with the advent of Zambia’s mining industry.

From these humble beginnings, Quattro focused their energies on procuring a fleet of vehicles to enable them to secure and fulfil various contracts with the country’s leading mines.

“In 1995 we expanded our business to import used motor vehicles from Japan and Dubai. In 1998, Quattro had a small stock of Hiace minibuses and was approached to subcontract on partial personnel transport at
