How we build
Quest Motor Manufacturing assembles every vehicle by hand at our Mutare plant. Bare-chassis-in, fully-finished-out, with quality control at every station.
The team
Behind every vehicle is a team of Zimbabwean technicians, engineers, and apprentices. We hire local and we train local — that's what manufacturing in Mutare actually means.

Since 2008
In 2008 we were the first Zimbabwean company to embrace the country's "Look East" policy — partnering with leading Chinese manufacturers including Foton, Zhongtong, Yutong, Chery, and today JAC, BAW, Skyworth and GAC.
From 2008 to 2020 we assembled buses, passenger cars, light commercials and heavy commercials from CKD kits, investing in tooling, training, and local supply. When low volumes and erratic power made CKD impractical, we shifted to SKD assembly — leaner, solar-friendly, and sustainable on the local content available to us.
In 2025 we modernised the plant top to bottom. New body-shop welding equipment, new paint-shop tunnel booths and spray gear, a rolling-road tunnel with all five critical test stations, wheel-alignment and tyre-service equipment, and automated fluid fillers for coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid and AC gas.
World firsts
01 · Chassis
Every QMM vehicle starts here. The chassis is positioned, levelled, and inspected before anything else gets bolted to it.
02 · Powertrain
Engine and gearbox are mated and lowered onto the chassis. Every fastener is torque-controlled and logged. The same torque, every time, every truck.
03 · Body
Cab and bed are dropped onto the rolling chassis, then aligned, gapped, and inspected. From here on it starts to look like a truck.
04 · Finishing
Final fitment, electricals, glasswork, interior — and a full pre-delivery inspection before any vehicle leaves the line. Nothing ships unsigned.
