He said the induction of leading auto brand is crucial to the National Automotive Industry Development Plan, which essentially seeks to position Nigeria among world class industrial economies and has been successfully achieved in other emerging countries.

“We have integrated many proven metrics into this frame work and we are mindful of the six stages of development for a brand, each equating to a different marketing priority, starting with creating basic awareness and concluding with building customer loyalty,” Mr Vaswani said.

He added that the Stallion’s initiative was an integrated vehicle manufacturing frame work that enables Stallion Group to produce Stallion branded high quality vehicles from knocked down components and with a view to ultimately grow into full fledge local manufacturing industries.

Other Stallion made buses are Stallion Civicbus 29+1seater priced at N8.45m, Stallion Contibus 40+1 seater priced at N10.95 million and Stallion Countrybus which is available from 42 to 66 seater. The starting price of Stallion Country bus is offered from N12.45m.

Mr. Vaswani convinced that the current population ofNigeria convincingly support half a million vehicles annually, which is more than sufficient to sustain an emerging automotive industry. Stallion vehicles are competitively priced to enable every potential buyer topurchase and own a choice functional vehicle. TheStallion vehicle plant is coming on the heels of similar plants owned by the group, VON Automobile, Stallion Nissan Motors Nigeria and Hyundai Motors Nigeria plant.

These plants have created significant employment to stimulate industrial clusters such as original equipmentmanufacturers that includes steel plants, glass manufacturers, aftermarket shops and transportation service providers which would lead to job creation and contribute significantly to the GDP.
