The first model of the company was the 1952 introduced copy of the famous Zeederberg carriage. Six units of this model were built in this year for the Jan van Riebeeck Festival. The South African entrepreneurs had measured the dimensioning of the original model which can be shown at the Johannesburg Museum. For the manufacturing of the replicas, the brothers had used self-made sketches and detailed plans. The company became well-known quickly and sold their vehicles throughout the country. Particularly, the Gold Rush helped to achieve this success.

abstract
  • The first model of the company was the 1952 introduced copy of the famous Zeederberg carriage. Six units of this model were built in this year for the Jan van Riebeeck Festival. The South African entrepreneurs had measured the dimensioning of the original model which can be shown at the Johannesburg Museum. For the manufacturing of the replicas, the brothers had used self-made sketches and detailed plans. The company became well-known quickly and sold their vehicles throughout the country. Particularly, the Gold Rush helped to achieve this success. As this boom had an end in the early seventies, the company started the production of modern buses under the German MAN brand. Currently the company produces the bus models De Haan Challenger 125, De Haan Challenger 138 and De Haan Challenger Superior 140. Since 2007, De Haan’s is CKD assembling Mercedes-Benz branded buses on behalf of the Egyptian Manufacturing Commercial Vehicles for the local market. The company management is currently held by the both sons Peter and Andre de Haan. In March 2010 the company was bought by the MCV Corporate Group, but the company name will still remain.
