The board of UD Trucks Southern Africa (UDTSA) on Thursday announced the resignation of MD Jacques Carelse.  

Long-time UD employee, corporate planning and marketing GM, Rory Schulz, was appointed as acting MD while the process started to appoint a new MD.

The Japanese UD Trucks Corporation, of which UD Trucks Southern Africa was a full subsidiary, formed part of the world’s second largest trucking company, the Volvo Group. 

Volvo group Southern Africa president Torbjörn Christensson said Schulz had an in-depth knowledge of the company and the intricacies of the local trucking market.

“We have every confidence in Schulz and we know that he is dedicated to the success of the company, its dealers and UD Trucks customers across the region. In addition, the UDTSA management team is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable in the industry.”

“UDTSA also remains the brand’s top market outside of Japan. With more model introductions planned over the medium and long term, we are very excited about the future growth and impact of the UD Trucks brand in Southern Africa.”

Christensson also acknowledged Carelse’s contribution to UD Trucks during his 20 years with the company. 

“We wish him every success in the future.”
