agitator: Hello, I am back again. I hope you are having a nice weekend. The National body you are suggesting; could it be a semblance of the Standards Organization of Nigeria, specifically for automobiles? Please what do you think about the partnership of Innoson Motors with DICON? https://www.nairaland.com/3836925/innoson-motors-partner-defence-industry

Sorry for late response, I saw your post at 8:30am but was too busy. Yes, it is done in most countries. Innoson you mentioned cannot sell his cars in Europe and America except it passes their safety tests. The same applies to North America. European cars need to meet American Standards, same applies to American cars being shipped to Europe. Crash test are done, to see how the vehicle can withstand impact at various speeds. Note the manufacturers provide the vehicles which are used for the tests. So, before a manufacturer presents his vehicle for such tests, he is sure of the product. But in Nigeria anything can be shipped into Nigeria. Who tested Innoson vehicles? Where are the crash reports. On the partnership, it is a welcome development. I am aware DICON do a lot of fabrication, R & D , etc. because they have the facilities. Innoson can leverage DICON's fabrication experience to build purely Nigerian designed engines. This will then make it possible for them to manufacture vehicles with 80% Nigerian components. Forex being used to import those components will be saved. However, It will also be good to hear that corporate organisations are partnering with Institutions of learning, like Universities and Polytechnics, to do research as is done in the advanced countries. The new materials used for phones, vehicles etc are as a result of such research. Most of the recent technological breakthroughs we have been enjoying is through such partnerships. The appointment like I mentioned before is useless, because the Nigerian government just brought a designer to do bureaucratic work unrelated to his field or passion. Now you mentioned it, he should have been brought to work with DICON who are into fabrication which would have benefited this partnership. 1 Like |
