At Autogroup International, we dont just convert vehicles—we deliver confidence, precision, and pride. Our multi-million dollar, worldclass facility in Sri Lanka, certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, is home to more than 200 professionals who ensure every vehicle is reengineered to perfection.

Each component is meticulously designed, engineered, and handcrafted to achieve what we proudly call a “mirror image” conversion—matching, and often exceeding, the original OEM standard. From dashboard assemblies and wiring looms to HVAC systems and steering architecture, everything is custom-built to ensure flawless integration and factory-level finish.

Autogroup International is proudly a 100% Australian owned business, founded by Mr Peter Hill a visionary who 30+ years ago invented the entire industry to today where his son Mr Rob Hill who is our Group CEO and Co-Chairman leads the group through an exciting time.

Our commitment to delivering premium right-hand drive American vehicles—tailored to the demands of African roads and lifestyles—makes us the trusted choice for American pickups, SUVs, Muscle Cars and EVs across the region. This sourcing guide outlines everything you need to know to begin your journey with Autogroup International.

Where We Ship in Africa

Autogroup International exports right-hand drive vehicles across Africa, including to the following countries and their capital cities:

  • South Africa (Pretoria)
  • Botswana (Gaborone)
  • Uganda (Kampala)
  • Kenya (Nairobi)
  • Tanzania (Dodoma)
  • Zambia (Lusaka)
  • Zimbabwe (Harare)
  • Malawi (Lilongwe)
  • Lesotho (Maseru)
  • Eswatini (Mbabane)
  • Namibia (Windhoek)
  • Mauritius (Port Louis)
  • Seychelles (Victoria)
  • Mozambique (Maputo)

Unmatched Pickup Power The American Icons, Now in Right-Hand Drive

Imagine commanding a GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate across the highways of South Africa, or navigating the roads of Tanzania with the raw strength of a Ford F-350 Platinum. These are not just vehicles—they are tools of power, status symbols, and dependable machines built for real-world performance. At Autogroup International, we source and convert the most capable and luxurious pickups available today.

From the rugged GMC Sierra 2500 & 3500 HD series, available in AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims, to the commanding Ford Super Duty lineup—including the F-250, F-350, and F-450 in Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited versions—we offer it all. Whether you need a petrol V8 or a diesel engine for heavy-duty towing in Zambia or Mozambique, our vehicles are tailored to your needs.

For clients in Kenya or Botswana seeking something bold and exclusive, we also offer the Toyota Tundra Hybrid in Platinum, TRD Pro, 1794 Edition, and the luxurious Capstone trim. For agricultural industries or commercial fleets in Uganda or Zimbabwe, dual rear wheel options like the GMC Sierra 3500 DRW, Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW, and Ford F-450 are perfect for serious workloads.

And for those wanting a true head-turner—our specialty pickup truck range includes the Hennessey Mammoth, Shelby F-150 Super Snake, Black Widow Editions, Roush-tuned pickups, Harley-Davidson branded trucks, and even Apocalypse 6×6 builds for the adventurous in Namibia or Malawi.

Luxury SUVs Built for Africa’s Roads

If youre in Lusaka, Nairobi, or Gaborone and looking for unmatched comfort and presence, our right-hand drive SUVs offer the perfect combination of utility and elegance. Take the GMC Yukon XL—available in Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate trims—delivering massive space and either a petrol V8 or efficient diesel engine.

Prefer something different? The Lincoln Navigator L Reserve and Black Label trims offer a refined and luxurious experience, while the powerful Dodge Durango Hellcat delivers muscle car DNA in a family-friendly SUV format.

The Ford Bronco lineup, from Outer Banks and Badlands to the off-road-ready Wildtrak and Raptor, is a favourite for clients in Mauritius and Eswatini. And of course, the revolutionary Hummer EV SUV—an all-electric off-roader—offers futuristic styling with no emissions.

Electric Power Meets Performance Right-Hand Drive EVs

Electrification is taking off, even in African markets like Seychelles, South Africa, and Mauritius. We offer the bold Hummer EV SUV and SUT pickup, as well as the efficient and smart Ford F-150 Lightning. Both are available in right-hand drive through Autogroup International—backed by our full quality guarantee.

Sourcing Made Simple, Tailored for You

Every journey begins with understanding your exact needs. Whether youre a business owner in Zimbabwe or a private collector in Namibia, our North America-based team will locate and purchase the exact make, model, trim, colour, and factory options you request. Once sourced, the vehicle is shipped directly to our facility in Sri Lanka, where our expert engineering team begins the transformation.

The Conversion Process Designed to Be Better Than Factory

Our conversion process goes beyond expectation. At our ISO-certified facility in Sri Lanka, over 200 engineers and technicians use cutting-edge tools and decades of knowledge to complete our signature “mirror image” conversion. Every component is either remanufactured or hand-crafted—dashboards, wiring harnesses, HVAC systems, pedals, and steering—all reengineered for precision. When a client in Tanzania or Malawi receives their vehicle, it looks and performs as if it was factory-built as a right-hand drive model.

Seamless Logistics and Delivery Across Africa

With more than 5000 vehicles shipped to over 40 countries, logistics is our strength. We arrange secure, insured shipping from Sri Lanka to any major port or preferred inland city across Africa. From Maputo to Kampala, Windhoek to Harare, we take care of all shipping, insurance, and legal paperwork—including the certificate of title, ADR compliance, and homologation documents required for legal import and registration.

Peace of Mind Warranty and Total Customer Support

Every vehicle from Autogroup International comes with a comprehensive 3-year warranty. But we don’t stop there. Our dedicated Customer Support Team provides assistance on everything from service scheduling and parts to software updates. For our valued clients in Botswana, Kenya, and beyond, our “Fly Team” is on standby—ready to visit you in person should the need arise.r dapibus leo.
