ATS-Motorsport

Last year the Department of Environmental Affairs’ REDISA (Recycling Economic Development Initiative of South Africa) plan was approved by government. All relevant stakeholders, including manufacturers, importers, transporters, dealers and processors of tyres and retreadable casings operating in South Africa are legally bound to align themselves with the plan. The REDISA plan can be found on their official website: www.redisa.org.za or with the Department of Environmental Affairs: www.environment.gov.za In compliance with this latest regulation ATS registered / subscribed with REDISA by the stipulated deadline and has undertaken to comply with the financial requirements pertaining thereto. With effect from 1 February 2013 ATS will bill all customers with REDISA’s Waste Tyre Management (WTM) fee per the requirements of the government regulation. The fee is R2.30 per kilogram of tyre purchased, excluding VAT.

In the interests of our customers we have not "absorbed" this levy into our pricing model. We transparently charge you what we pay - not marking up this expense as well.

Competitors are often faced with somewhat intimidating regulations regarding race suits, seats, harnesses and a lot more. As a service to our clients we have included the FIA Approved logo on the pictures of all FIA Compliant products we sell.

There are instances where MSA, the South African FIA affiliated Federation, has permitted standards that are different from the FIA regulations. Where we believe that our customers need to be guided by this information, we have included the MSA logo on the product picture. It should be noted that all FIA compliant products exceed these South African standards.

ATS is proud to be the sole importer some major brands. These brands are marked with our "Sole Importer" stamp. These items may well be available from some of our reputable resellers countrywide! Customers should be on the lookout for the "ATS Exclusive" stamp that gives the assurance that the particular product can only be purchased from ATS.
