In response to the increasing petrol prices in Nigeria, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing has introduced a range of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses as an alternative for Nigerians. The unveiling of these CNG vehicles took place at the company’s factory in Nnewi, Anambra State.
The vehicles manufactured by Innoson include trucks, mini-buses, ambulances, long buses, and SUVs, among others. Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, the Chief Executive Officer of IVM, emphasized the safety of CNG vehicles and the availability of various car models to meet the demands of customers.
According to Dr. Chukwuma, the production of CNG vehicles is a response to the diverse needs of the market. He also highlighted the company’s flexibility in manufacturing different types of vehicles, including electric cars, biogas-powered vehicles, and solar-powered vehicles.
The government of Anambra State, represented by Mr. Christian Udechukwu, the Commissioner for Industry, expressed the state’s commitment to providing solutions to the challenges faced by Nigerians due to the removal of fuel subsidies.
Mr. Udechukwu recognized Innoson’s renewable technologies, such as CNG, LNG, and solar power, as potential contributors to Nigeria’s mass transport system.
Mr. Cornel Osigwe, the Head of Corporate Communications at IVM, highlighted the advantages of natural gas vehicles and emphasized the importance of supporting local manufacturers. He explained that natural gas has a higher combustion rate than fuel, making it more environmentally friendly.
Osigwe emphasized the significance of transportation in economic development and the need for better transportation options in Nigeria.
Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing’s introduction of CNG-powered vehicles provides Nigerians with an alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles. This move aligns with the demand for sustainable transportation options and supports the country’s economic development
