Unitrans Namibia was formed in 1996, following the acquisition of Road Runners, and is part of Fuel and Chemical.
Unitrans Namibia consists of seven depots, from Ondangwa in the north to Tsumeb, Grootfontein, Walvis Bay and Windhoek.
At the beginning of 2004, the company was awarded the Barlo Pele Award by Shell for the Best Road Transporter in southern Africa.
