SUV or sedan?

So, they are actually manufacturers and not producers. mtcheeew.

my people still celebrating mediocrity.

olrotimi: Op is dat al u'v got to say abt? No further info, no link & only a wallpaper pix. Seriously? You luk lyk a jester to moi.

... The dude is a Nationalist , I know he is already conducting research on the calendar of those new cars !!

django1:

What's the difference please?

production is creating something. manufacuring is assembling someone else's product.

Kudos to Innoson.

With prices starting at 1.5 million the demand will be very high.

Really cool.... Proudly naija!

Gud 1

this is highly impressive!!

You people shouldn't start this useless assembly-manufacture dichotomy.
Its called ivm -innoson vehicle manufacturing and that is what it is, whatever manufacturing means to you, he is doing it.
The first of its kind in black Africa.
The Cars cost around #1.5 million

No it's not the first of its kind. Peugeot used to manufacture cars in Kaduna. They could have stamped it alfa cars and put a mallam in charge and claimed it was a Nigerian car.

Check out GAC fleet and look closely again at IVM vehicles.

Innoson was commissioned as the first indigenous black car plant.
Dignitaries attending the inauguration didn't question it cos they were in the plant and saw it themselves.
He sources 60% of his products locally.
He has four industries, one of which is car parts production, he buys some products from ibeto, imports toyota engine.

Here is Innoson IVM G5

Here is the Original product.

Stop celebrating mediocrity.

Mitsubishi engines? I don't know if this brand can be trusted

Fulaman198: Mitsubishi engines? I don't know if this brand can be trusted

Sorry, checked it up, its toyota

ketoprofen:

Sorry, checked it up, its toyota

Sounds like a worthy car to buy then. Are the engines as reliable as Toyota? Or does Toyota short change Innoson?

What a load of rubbish. If Peugeout manufactured cars in Nigeria, then the vehicles were made in Nigeria, meaning they were ''Nigerian cars'', whatever the hell that means. They don't need to ''claim'' anything.

If INNOSON manufactures cars in Nigeria (which they do), then the vehicles are made in Nigeria, meaning they are ''Nigerian cars''. All over the world there are car plants belonging to Peugeot, Nissan, BMW etc. In those countries the vehicles manufactured are considered those respective countries' cars, whether or not the manufacturer is a foreign company. For instance, South Africa produces about 300,000 cars per annum. The producers are mostly foreign companies like BMW, Honda, Nissan, GM etc. But that is irrelevant when calculating South Africa's vehicle production output per annum. The output is considered South African vehicle output per year. Same as in other countries.

Check out GAC fleet and look closely again at IVM vehicles.

Utterly irrelevant. Does INNOSON manufacture vehicles or not? They do. Case closed. Tell us what YOU have done that is remotely comparable before talking ignorant rubbish about ''mediocrity''.

ask the various govts and individuals that have been using the cars since inception

Calm down. Innoson does not produce cars. They assemble cars produced by others. What 60% local content are in Innoson cars? Do you know how the 60% is calculated?

No?

Let me educate you!
A small company, subsidiary or not of Innoson assembles an imported bulky but low value car component like the doors. Those doors become locally manufactured product. Attach the doors to an imported car and the car immediately becomes 20% local made. This percentage is increased dramatically if the cost of labour that goes into manufacturing is incorporated, which seems like what innoson is doing as they say 60% local content and not 60% locally manufactured parts.

Innoson is an assembly plant for GAC.

A sister company of Innoson is in malaysia and called Inokrom. They also assemble BMW locally. Is BMW now a malaysian car?

AlfaSeltzer:

Calm down.

You weren't calm when you were dismissing another man's work as ''mediocrity''.

Innoson does not produce cars. They assemble cars produced by others.

You're an ignorant dunderhead. There is no such thing as ''assembling a car produced by others''. If a car has been ''produced'' then it HAS been ''assembled''. ''Assembling'' a car IS ''producing'' a car. In the vehicle industry car plants are actually called ''car assembly plants'', meaning all car manufacturing equates to car assembly. The only other type of vehicle factory apart from an assembly plant is a car component manufacturer. That's it. Nothing else. Car component manufacturers do not manufacture vehicles. They just produce specific parts. The building of the car is done in an assembly plant.

More convoluted horse manure. Firstly YOU DO NOT KNOW what parts of INNOSON's 60% locally sourced components are locally manufactured or imported. We have car component manufacturers of various sizes and disciplines in Nigeria, with more being established daily as the Automative policy gets into full swing. YOU need to find some way to contribute instead of rubbishing the efforts of others while doing absolutely nothing yourself.

A sister company of Innoson is in malaysia and called Inokrom. They also assemble BMW locally. Is BMW now a malaysian car?

Very daft question. BMW cars built in Malaysia ARE Malaysian cars. That is how they are quantified or classified when measuring Malaysia's annual vehicle production output!!!

If Nigeria produces 10,000 megawatts of electricity per annum, you don't say, ''oh no, it is not Nigeria generating the electricity, it is GE or Shell'' or any number of companies who may have built the power plants! It is all counted as Nigerian power output. Same applies to telecommunications, car production etc.

I don't know where to start with you. You call my explanation convoluted horse manure but refused to give us the simple answer of what part of Innoson's car are produced in Nigeria.

Do you know what it takes to brand a product made in "somewhere"? The somewhere must add value to the product. That's it. I can import a belt leather from south africa and the buckle from ghana, attach them together and legally call it made in nigeria. That's mediocrity!

To respond to a few nonsense you spewed here, assembling a car is NOT producing a car.

To produce a car, you need to go through many processes, of which assembly is the final process. The processes include, conception, market study, design, parts manufacturing, testing and assembly. Innoson and that ghana man only do the last part: assembly. Total mediocrity!

Your last paragraph just shows the type of brainwashing we have gone through in this country. Why say Nigeria produced when it is shell that produced and takes the profit? It is just one of those useless statement they tell us to keep us happy in our mediocrity, like Giant of Africa nonsense. We just happily accept it.

I ask you once again, what 60% of IVM vehicles are manufactured locally?

Innoson products are just Chinese cars branded with a different name

@ROSSIKE car importers about to become unemployed and hungry in the house. Turkeys aint ever gonna vote for Christmas. Just leave it.
It doesn't stop Innoson from sellling does it?

''His plant, he says, utilizes 60 per cent of local content which encompasses bodies, tyres seats, batteries, rubber, plastic and other polymer products, light fittings, among other components.

His manufacturing businesses have employed well over 7,000 workers out of which only 30 are expatriates. While some of the staff were poached from ANAMCO, others were trained abroad as such technical capacity is no worry for the Industrialist as he has also forged a strong working relationship with the Chinese government.

Chief Chukwuma is building an automotive manufacture training school very close to his vehicle rolling plant. To him, this will spread the knowhow and ‘’ I can employ from there, others can employ from there. I am not a monopolist you know. I want this sector to grow so we can take the world.’’''

If you DO import the parts for a belt and use those parts to build a belt, you have manufactured a belt. The labour, know-how, and capital required to create a belt out of disparate pieces constitutes value.

To respond to a few nonsense you spewed here, assembling a car is NOT producing a car.

You are dumb beyond repair. Here is a list of car plants across the world. As stated earlier they are known officially as 'car assembly plants' all over the world. I know you will ignore this again and continue spewing your illiterate, beer parlour garbage. Olodo rabata.

What garbage. Technically, there is no such thing as ''producing a car''. You DESIGN a car. You CONCEPTUALISE a car. You MANUFACTURE a car etc. What we are discussing here is MANUFACTURING. Very few if any car manufacturing plants have anything to do with ''market study, parts manufacturing, design'' etc. Those are totally separated aspects of the process leading up to the release of a vehicle.

Your last paragraph just shows the type of brainwashing we have gone through in this country. Why say Nigeria produced when it is shell that produced and takes the profit?

My God you're dense. So Nigeria doesn't produce electricity. It is the companies that produce it, correct? I think you need to see a psychiatrist. Next thing you will say is Nigeria doesn't have roads, since they were built by Julius Berger.

ROSSIKE, I couldn't have pur it better.
I don't know why it peppers some people that one of their own is doing sth.
