FOTON Tunland pickup trucks for South Africa — factory-direct, delivered to Durban
Can you export new FOTON Tunland pickups to South Africa?
Yes. We build both left- and right-hand drive, produced at the factory to order rather than converted afterwards, and the same engine is homologated to the emission standard the destination market accepts, from Euro 2 through to Euro VI. The export range covers 57 orderable configurations: Tunland G7, Tunland V, Tunland G9, the eTUNLAND electric pickup, the V7 and V9 diesel hybrids, and single-cab long-bed work trucks.
Everything leaves Qingdao or Shanghai in a 40′HQ carrying three units of the Tunland G7, S and E series or two units of other models, with 20–30 days production and 25–45 days ocean transit, with Durban as the usual gateway. West and Central African destinations additionally require an electronic cargo tracking note (BESC, CTN or ECTN) issued before the vessel sails, and East and Southern African destinations require their own pre-shipment inspection certificate; we handle these as part of the shipment. Four details are enough for a firm FOB or CIF quote in 24 hours: destination port, model and quantity, the emission standard your market accepts, and steering side.
New FOTON Tunland pickups shipped straight from the factory, built to the emission standard and steering side your market requires, in a 40′ High Cube container, with a firm FOB or CIF quotation within 24 hours.
Why the Tunland range fits South Africa
Right-hand drive is the norm across much of East and Southern Africa, while several West African markets drive on the left. We build both, and the steering side is settled at the quotation stage rather than assumed.
The same engine is homologated to the emission standard the destination market accepts, from Euro 2 through to Euro VI, so the configuration follows what your authority requires rather than whatever happens to be in stock. The export range covers 57 orderable configurations.

Pre-shipment cargo tracking
West and Central African destinations require an electronic cargo tracking note issued before the vessel sails — BESC, CTN or ECTN depending on the country — and East and Southern African destinations each require their own pre-shipment inspection certificate. Cargo cannot be cleared without them. We build the requirement for your destination into the shipment timeline rather than leaving it to your customs broker, and confirm the exact document at the quotation stage.
Container, production and transit
Everything leaves from Qingdao or Shanghai in a 40′ High Cube container. One 40′HQ carries three units of the Tunland G7, Tunland S and Tunland E series, or two units of all other models. A single unit can also ship in a full container if that is what you need.
Production lead time is 20–30 days after the deposit, and ocean transit is 25–45 days depending on the destination port, with Durban as the usual gateway. Confirm your port when you ask for a quotation and we calculate the exact freight.
Documents that travel with every shipment
Commercial invoice, packing list, original Bill of Lading (couriered), Certificate of Origin, COC / COP conformity certificate where the destination requires it, the full VIN list matched to loading photographs, the manufacturer warranty booklet, and loading photographs and video sent before the container is sealed. If a document has to be legalised or attested for your market, we arrange it before shipment.
Payment and quotation
30% deposit on order and 70% against a copy of the Bill of Lading, or an irrevocable letter of credit at sight. Prices are quoted in USD, EUR or CNY on FOB Qingdao/Shanghai or CIF your port.
Four details are enough for a firm FOB or CIF price within 24 hours: destination port, model and quantity, the emission standard your market accepts, and steering side.
