The first site the committee visited was the automotive terminal which has a capacity of 14 000 units. Cars are transported by Transnet's freight rail mainly from East London to the terminal for export. There are also cars in the terminal that were imported from other countries. Brands of vehicles at the terminal included BMW, Toyota, Mercedes Benz, Ford, etc. The terminal has a 24-hour security system that guarantees the safety of the cars. As a job creation measure, Transnet has made an arrangement for the cars to be washed (waxing and dewaxing) from time to time to keep them clean while still in their terminal.
