Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles Durban

The Akoo family, Yunus Akoo, and his two sons Hassan and Nizam started a family business in 1991. The Akoo family have been agents of Mercedes-Benz since 1991 in Durban. Together with Barloworld Motor Retail, a partner since 2003, they built the first-of-its-kind Daimler Chrysler brand campus in the world and became the largest black-owned independent motor group in South Africa.

Driving an entrepreneurial approach focusing on the best customer experience from the Akoo side and with strong corporate governance and finance from the Barloworld side the new business grew and prospered and became a household name for Mercedes Benz cars and Trucks, Chrysler Jeep, Dodge, Mitsubishi and Fuso vehicles in KZN and South Africa comprising 13 dealerships in KZN and Mpumalanga.
