Likasi: a processing town on the Copperbelt corridor
Likasi, in Haut-Katanga province, lies about 120 km north-west of Lubumbashi on the main road to Kolwezi. Formerly known as Jadotville, it grew around copper and cobalt processing: the Shituru plants of Gécamines, with a smelter, hydrometallurgical plant and electrolysis, and mines and processing sites around Kambove, Kamatanda and Panda. Every truck between Kolwezi and Lubumbashi passes through or near the town. These sites are named to describe the region; they are not presented as GT AFRIK customers.
For fleets this means two kinds of traffic: long-haul trucks moving concentrate, cathode and supplies along the corridor, and local fleets serving plants, quarries and workshops — often carrying fuel, reagents or other hazardous loads.
What fleets in Likasi track
- Corridor trucks. Trucks running Kolwezi – Likasi – Lubumbashi – Kasumbalesa are followed on the whole road. Geofences at plants, weighbridges, depots and border yards record each arrival and departure, and route playback shows every stop and its duration.
- Tankers and hazardous loads. Fuel tankers and trucks carrying reagents need tight control of route, speed and stops. Overspeed alerts, unauthorised-stop alerts and route reports show whether a driver kept to the agreed route.
- Plant and site vehicles. Loaders, excavators, tippers and service vehicles at plants and quarries: engine hours, idle time and geofences show where each machine worked and when it is due for service.
- Diesel theft. A capacitive fuel-level sensor measures the tank and a suspicious drop sends a WhatsApp alert in about 60 seconds, with position and engine state. See the diesel theft guide.
- Generators. Workshops, pumps and sites that rely on a generator can be monitored for runtime hours, fuel level, battery voltage and alarms.
- Vehicle theft. A remote engine cut-off lets an authorised manager block the engine of a stolen vehicle while its position keeps updating on the map.
