JMG strengthens fleet expansion – The Nation Newspaper

MG Haulage, the logistics and haulage division of JMG, has announced a major fleet expansion aimed at reinforcing its position as a leading haulage, transport, and logistics company in Nigeria.

The expansion supports growing demand across Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), beverage, and industrial supply chains while enhancing nationwide haulage capacity.

Founded in 2019, JMG Haulage began with four trucks serving internal distribution and selected third-party clients.

Through consistent service delivery, strong operational discipline, and a focus on reliable haulage services, JMG steadily expanded its operations to 31 heavy-duty and 16 light-duty trucks prior to the latest growth phase.

The current expansion adds 20 new heavy-duty haulage trucks, each configured as a 24-pallet unit with a payload capacity of up to 45 tons.

This significantly increases JMG Haulage’s long-haul transport and nationwide haulage capabilities, enabling the company to support large-scale logistics operations across Nigeria.

The development, according to the General Manager of JMG Haulage, Mohamad Dayekh, further strengthens the company’s visibility in haulage and logistics research in Nigeria, positioning it as a preferred partner for national and multinational shippers.

Dayekh, in a statement on Monday, said the newly deployed fleet follows a mixed-energy strategy. Ten trucks are CNG-powered, offering a driving range of up to 1,400 km, while 10 diesel-powered trucks provide operational flexibility across diverse haulage routes.

This approach, he explained, allows JMG Haulage to balance efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility while delivering dependable nationwide haulage services.

The GM said: “This fleet expansion is a strategic milestone for JMG Haulage. It allows us to scale our haulage and logistics capacity nationwide while maintaining high service standards, cost efficiency, and safety.

 “By investing in both CNG and diesel technologies, we are strengthening reliability for our customers today while preparing JMG Haulage for a more sustainable future.”

Dayekh said fleet rollout was completed in January this year, following inspection, branding, driver allocation, and route planning. He stated that as a result, JMG Haulage expects monthly operational mileage to increase from approximately 150,000 km to 250,000 km, improving delivery timelines, reducing turnaround times, and enabling the onboarding of new haulage customers without service disruption.

Operating on a pan-Nigeria scale, JMG Haulage serves key commercial corridors across the North, South, East, and West, providing professional haulage and logistics solutions for FMCG, agro-products, chemicals, cosmetics, electrical goods, generators, and industrial equipment.

Supported by dedicated maintenance teams, OEM-led technical training, preventive maintenance programs, and strict monitoring of cost per kilometer, JMG Haulage continues to deliver safe, efficient, and reliable nationwide haulage services.

Looking ahead, Dayekh said plans are afoot to expand into cold-chain logistics and further invest in green haulage solutions, aligning with global sustainability expectations and reinforcing JMG’s position as a future-ready logistics and haulage leader in Nigeria.
