Mercedes-Benz has offered to use its 3D printers to produce medical equipment that is urgently needed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The German carmaker already uses 3D-printing machines to produce up to 150,000 plastic and metal components annually. During the 21-day lockdown a number of motor companies have stepped in to assist providers of essential services.

Isuzu Motors SA has made its media fleet of vehicles available to Gift of the Givers, which will use the bakkies to transport medical equipment and other essential supplies during the Covid-19 crisis. Absa has also implemented three-month payment relief to eligible customers in good standing with their repayments and in need of short-term liquidity relief.

Nedbank’s MFC vehicle finance wing is supporting its clients with several options based on individual circumstances, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
