I couldn't answer your question more objectively. I realize that the African continent is like any other; there are mainly European brand truck dealerships, but it is also possible to view American (and perhaps even Australian) trucks in many countries. It is probably related to the type of colonial country that a given African country has greater contact with or cultural ties with (eg greater number of European trucks in Morocco, American or Australian trucks in South Africa). I personally believe that your idea doesn't make much sense for a truck simulator game for Africa. But it is a suggestion.

Perhaps what would be possible is SCS Software to do:
Truck engine can be interactive. So this functionality would be available only when we were in the workshop of our cargo depots, or more specifically also in the mechanic workshops.

I believe that this would be possible then to put all the parts of the engine, as it exists in some simulation games of mechanic workshop and you could replace some parts some components that would have a useful life. Parts would have a wear and tear effect, and this I believe could be an innovation when creating the Africa Truck Simulator app.

It would even be possible to permit the licensing of truck parts companies such as "Bosch" for example, which occurs to me now in my head, it would be very interesting.
there could be DLC's for truck parts.

Good.
After some time without news in this research for the African simulator we found another trailer manufacturer in Africa.
As an example, a livestock transport trailer. For everyone who dreams of transporting cattle on African farms.

Remembering that there is:
A lot of cattle sales between breeders at auctions within countries (those with a greater cattle ranching tradition), cattle sales between farms in African countries, exports of live cattle (for slaughtering slaughterhouses or even farms in other countries on the continent and abroad), sale of cattle for African slaughterhouses.

So today we are leaving information about the trailer manufacturer "Henred Fruehauf ''. It has its factories in South Africa in the cities of: Bloemfontein, Johannesburg and Cape Town.
For more information, see the link: https://www.henredfruehauf.co.za/index.html facebook: https://www.facebook.com/henredfruehaufgroup
That can be useful for the future construction of the suggestion; african truck simulator.

Bell Trucks Inc , Richards Bay, South Africa.

Today we are going to introduce another company. Perhaps it could be in the future in games, if Africa Truck Simulator is developed, the house of the largest manufactures. The South African plant produces 5,000 of these trucks each year. Their trucks are widely used in civil construction, public works, mining. It is a great loading option for the African simulator.

Are Asian trucks present too?

Logistics from Gibraltar to Zambia!

Logistics from Gibraltar to Zambia.

Well, this is very surprising to me. Road transport of vehicles between Gibraltar (Europe) and Zambia (Africa).
Route: Durban Port to Lusaka.

Agreed, South Africa would be the best starting point. Not least because I wanna see the Freightliner Argosy. :)
