Dangote group has purchased 800 units of Shacman trucks which were assembled at the Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company (ANAMMCO) plant, in Enugu.

Explaining Dangote Group’s choice for Shacman trucks, a senior manager of Dangote group said the performance of the first 500 vehicles were satisfactory.
“They have been living up to expectation, and we don’t have any issues with them.”
The latest procurement by Dangote brings the total number of trucks, assembled at ANAMMCO plant, to about 1,650.
