CFAO Mobility Zambia proudly unveiled the highly anticipated 9th Generation Toyota Hilux at the Toyota Kitwe Branch, in a spectacular launch event that deliberately moved beyond Lusaka to honour the customers of the Copperbelt, Kopala region world-renowned for its vast copper and cobalt mining deposits stretching across the border region between north-central Zambia and the southern Democratic Republic of Congo.
 
The decision to host the launch in Kitwe was intentional. The Copperbelt’s mining heritage and its vital role in Zambia’s economy made it the natural home for a vehicle built to withstand the toughest conditions and support the industries that drive the nation forward. By bringing the launch to Kitwe, CFAO Mobility Zambia demonstrated that its commitment to customer appreciation extended across the country, not just to the capital.
 
The momentous evening was graced by the distinguished Guest of Honour, Mr. London Mwafulilwa, Board Chairperson of CAMINEX and CEC, who proudly declared the Hilux a true milestone, one embodying safer roads and resilient logistics networks for the nation. His inspiring words set the tone for an unforgettable night celebrating innovation, strength and progress.
 
Adding further prestige to the occasion was the Mayor Elect of Kitwe, Mr. Charles Kabwita, whose presence underscored the significance of this launch for the Kitwe community and beyond.

Mr. Peter Blomefield, Chief Operating Officer, reaffirmed CFAO Mobility Zambia’s unwavering commitment to reliable mobility that powers Zambia’s development journey, stating: “At CFAO Mobility Zambia, we understand that our customers depend on their vehicles to generate income, support livelihoods and drive economic growth. Our commitment therefore extends far beyond the sale of a vehicle. Through our nationwide network, factory-trained technicians, genuine parts availability and dedicated after-sales support, we remain committed to keeping our customers moving.”
 
In a powerful and heartfelt address, Mr. Charles Micheal Daka, Branch Manager, shared the vision behind the extraordinary venue choice: “We wanted this launch to happen here because this workshop tells a much bigger story than any showroom ever could.”
 
He continued with passion: “Tonight, we are unveiling a beautiful vehicle. A vehicle that is stronger, smarter, more capable and more refined than ever before. But we are also showing you something equally important: what stands behind that vehicle. The parts, The equipment, The diagnostic tools, The workshop, and most importantly, the people. Because at Toyota, we believe confidence does not come from the vehicle alone. Confidence comes from knowing there is a team ready to support you long after you drive away.”
 
The spectacular unveiling, delivered by the phenomenal Team Toyota, staff, chief executives, directors and media houses were met with resounding applause and genuine admiration. Invited guests warmly celebrated the new model, enthusiastically commending its bold design, refined comfort and uncompromising power. The energy in the room was electric as the 9th Generation Hilux took center stage, proving once again why Toyota remains the trusted name in mobility.
 
Our sincere gratitude went out to everyone who made this unforgettable evening possible, Team Toyota, our esteemed executives, directors, media partners, and every guest who joined us in celebrating this remarkable milestone. Here is to the future of driving, stronger, smarter and more refined than ever before.
 
The 9th Generation Toyota Hilux Launch was indeed nothing short of extraordinary.
