Namesh Govender has added the first 65-ton, 700 Series model to his fleet of Hino tow trucks which operate in KwaZulu-Natal. It is a 2845 freight carrier that has been fitted with a a 40 ton winch and dressed up in eye-catching, customised Style Towing livery so it is easy to see it operating on the roads of KZN!

Govender has been in the towing business since 2005 and has bought only Hino trucks for his flourishing business, which is based in Springfield, Newlands West, Durban.

“I currently operate two other tow trucks - Hino 814 and 915 models – and over the years I have owned plenty of other Hino’s, including 8-tonners, as well as a Toyota Dyna,” he explained.

“I bought the 700 towards the end of 2025 and am most impressed with its performance so far, especially the fuel economy and power stakes. The comprehensive standard level of safety equipment is another plus for this model. I bought the current trucks in my fleet from Hino Shelly Beach, which are also responsible for servicing them.”

The 700 Series tow truck is based on a 6x4 freight carrier model. It had its bodywork built by Transpec, in Durban, while another local company, Artistic Signs and Graphics, was responsible to the stand-out livery. It is operated by a dedicated driver, Keenan Govender, who has been with Style Towing for the past two years.

“The degree of brand loyalty shown by Namesh Govender and his team at Style Towing is a great reward for Hino’s global strategy of Total Support where the selling dealers and distributors worldwide build long-standing relationships with their customers and listen to their changing requirements as the logistical environment develops,” commented Anton Falck, Vice President of Hino South Africa.
