DRC after-sales case

 

Due to the backward infrastructure construction and terrible road condition in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the only way to reach Lubumbashi lithium mining area is by the domestic small plane with worrying safety. Nevertheless, in response to the customer's demand, Mr. Ma, the after-sales staff and the sales personnel of Lubumbashi office, after finishing the preparatory work, decided to set out as usual and went to the mine area where the customer was located.

The small plane makes the passengers hold a sweat every time, when the plane lands in a piece of dust, they can really feel relieved. From the airport, after nearly one hour’s turbulence, SINOTRUK service team finally arrived at the customer's site. After a simple break, the two staff began to work according to the established plan, starting from checking the truck status, working environment, driver’s operation, spare parts storage, maintenance & training and other details, gradually investigated the truck problem, and helped the customer to draw up service and maintenance plans, which dispelled customers' doubts and increased their confidence in truck cooperation. The 7 trucks is not a large number, but SINOTRUK service team will overcome any difficulties and carry out service work in the most tough environment because “customer satisfaction” is SINOTRUK’s aim. This shows the professionalism of SINOTRUK team to the customers.
