Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing (IVM), makers of Innoson vehicles, has revolutionised vehicle manufacturing in Nigeria and the whole of Africa following the manufacturing of four electric vehicles: IVM Link, IVM EX02, IVM EX01 and IVM EX02.
“For years, petrol cars have been the heart of our roads—and they still are. But now we’re expanding the family. At Innoson, we’re not just about moving forward—we’re about giving you the best, whatever you choose to drive,” Innoson said in a social media post on 17th September 2024.
Located in Nnewi, Anambra State, Eastern Nigeria, Innoson surprised Nigerians, Africans and the rest of the world with four electric vehicles in which most of the materials used were locally sourced in Nigeria.
This groundbreaking achievement marks a significant milestone as the first indigenous made-in-Nigeria electric vehicle, showcasing the country’s innovative spirit and capabilities.
“At Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Co. Ltd, innovation drives everything we do. As the automotive landscape evolves, we are proud to introduce our line of electric vehicles (EVs) that blend cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and the same reliable craftsmanship our brand is known for,” the company said on its website.
Adding, “Electric vehicles aren’t just the future—they’re the present. With increasing global awareness of environmental impact, reduced emissions, and a need for more efficient energy use, switching to an EV is one way to contribute to a greener world. But it’s not just about being eco-friendly. EVs also offer lower running costs, reduced maintenance needs, and a quieter, smoother ride. Innoson is here to give you the best of both worlds: sustainability and luxury in one package.”
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the Innoson EVs stand out, with a focus on the Innoson IVM EX02 and other models in the electric lineup.
