Lichtenburg, 17 July 2026 – Following the success of its inaugural Ride & Drive event in Potchefstroom, Laubstar Group hosted another successful FAW J7 Ride & Drive at LTX Raceway on the R52 Koster Road, giving customers from Lichtenburg and the surrounding region the opportunity to experience the flagship FAW J7 in action.

The event welcomed fleet owners, transport operators, owner-drivers, and industry professionals for a hands-on driving experience designed to showcase the FAW J7's performance, driver comfort, fuel efficiency, and advanced technology. Guests were able to put the truck through its paces in a controlled environment while engaging with Laubstar's experienced sales team to learn more about the vehicle's capabilities and the support available after purchase.

The Ride & Drive reinforced Laubstar's commitment to helping businesses maximise uptime through reliable transport solutions, practical product demonstrations, and expert advice tailored to each customer's operational needs.

"We're grateful for the excellent turnout and the enthusiastic feedback received from everyone who attended," said a Laubstar spokesperson. "Events like these allow customers to experience the FAW J7 beyond the specification sheet and understand how it can add value to their businesses. It also gives us the opportunity to connect directly with our customers and better understand their transport requirements."

Laubstar thanks everyone who attended the LTX Ride & Drive and looks forward to continuing to bring practical product experiences to customers across the regions it serves.
