Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Co. Ltd (IVM) is a local Nigerian car brand founded by Innocent Chukwuma Nwala that is committed to creating and innovating durable and efficient vehicles, catering solely to the African continent. The IVM aims to reduce the increased importation of brand-new or used cars from countries on other continents. To this end, this brand has been popularly nicknamed the ‘Pride of African roads.’
Innoson Motors in a bid to ensure that its primary aim is to ‘reduce the importation of new or used cars into Africa,’ created a financial plan which allows buyers or intending buyers to pay for their cars over a 3-year instalment plan. To also create that accommodates this financial plan, Innoson vehicles are relatively cheaper than foreign-made cars. A brand new Innoson saloon car can cost as low as N3.5 million.
Why should Nigerians buy Innoson cars in Nigeria?
It is a popularly known fact that most Nigerians like to patronize foreign brands a lot, and they do not believe that there is high quality in any good or product that is not produced internationally.
But that should not be the case because, in a bid to promote the ‘Buy Nigeria to promote Nigeria’ dream, more Nigerians should be able to comfortably patronize Nigerian brands. More so, buying goods, products, or services from other countries costs more, and also comes with a lot of importation troubles. So, why go through the troubles involved in buying foreign brands and not patronize a Nigerian brand.
Innoson Motors is also widely known for patronizing Nigerians to work for the brand, thereby encouraging employment and creating work opportunities for young people. To support this claim, here are some ways through which Innoson Cars has helped to help Nigerians, and why Nigerians should buy Innoson Motors in Nigeria.
- In May 2019, Osuolale Farouq created a brand logo for Innosn Motors and reached out to the brand via Twitter. The logo got a lot of interactions which piqued the interest of the CEO, and a meeting was scheduled. Soon after, the design might be the official brand logo of the brand.
- The logo is an inscription of the word ‘IVM’ around an eclipse, in a bird-like a form. Like IVM on wings.
