When parts of cars, especially, engines, tranny, ecu (brain box), come from or are made by another country, then the other country second or third merely assembles.; they are not the manufacturer.

Compare the old Peugeot Automobile of Nigeria and the France's Peugeot. Are Peugeot made by 9ja?

Please, don't call urselves names. Afterall, it's all about an opinion.

Peugeot is a brand name
This man has a brand that only he can lay claim to
No company anywhere in the world makes all the parts of their product from scratch
None.

@ EVERYBODY, My dearest Nairalanders,its really unfortunate that what i posted have really caused a lot of people getting on other peoples nerves, Its all good, we all have freedom of expression.I must say that am really grateful to those who still have some trust for this ENTITY CALLED NIGERIA, Cos we really need to have faith in naija to make things move forward, Most of us have spoken wisely on the issue of NO COUNTRY BEING ABLE TO PRODUCE EVERYTHING THEY NEED FOR THEIR PRODUCT, and we all should know that, We should also bear it in mind that China which we despise due to the supposed inferiority of their products is still the main supplier of most things used in the developed world like the U.S,its just that our people so much like CHEAP THINGS and there by go for LOW QUALITY materials which i trust China for ,cos they will give you whatever you want and however you want it.
So, with all due respect,i have always said this to people who still cant believe that ANYTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM NIGERIA,should try and get themselves RE ORIENTED cos that's what most of us need and not this rebranding thing ,
For the sake of those who asked for the prices,the SUV is about 2.2M aproximately and VAT inclusive, The truck is about 2M VAT inclusive, The 37 SEATER LUXURY BUS is about 12M VAT inclusive, The 26 seater mini luxury is about 9M and the small commuter bus is about 2.2M VAT inclusive, All comes with 12 months WARRANTY,
PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO Y'ALL

Some people are very stupid
Does general motors make all the parts they use in their vehicles?
Is there a computer manufacturing comapany that makes all the parts in that computer or do alligator shoe manufacturers breed the alligators,kill,skin and dry their hide then turn them into shoes?
The way some people reason,you wonder if they even passed the first school leaving cerificate.

Or is it because the products are not made by your state or your tribe since this is what many of these people really want to say.
Bunch of low self esteem nincompoops
His brand is his
Even if he paid companies abroad to manufacture his parts, that is called outsourcing,it is an indigenous Nigerians made product not made anywhere else

mention one component in that car that is fabricated in Nigeria?
just one part and i will give you N100,000.00
the sh!t is assembled in Nigeria PERIOD!!
its boneheads like you that say Peugeot was made in Nigeria back then.
In that case all those Okada's on the road are made in Nigeria,
yet another dumbass FSI.

Guys, pls stop calling each other names. Only facts clarifies the situation. First of all, assembling is the first stage of having automotive industry. India, China and even Japan started that way. In Africa, there is Egypt, South Africa, Morocco and perhaps two or three other African countries that assemble automobiles. Countries like Egypt and South Africa started assembling for at least 3 or 4 decades, and still don’t have their own brands nor manufacture more than 60% of the car.
Automotive industry rises up on a wide range of what is so called feeding industries, such as; Iron/ steel, electronics, battery, glass, tires, cloth, filters… etc, regardless the Chases and mechanical parts.
So, does Nigeria have any of those feeding industries? Definitely not, in fact many industries are dieing or already buried because of smuggling and insufficient and non-supportive environment for investments.
So, definitely this IVM is assembled. Is assembling good or bad? Sure it is good, however assembling of what brand, what name are behind. Like Nissan, BMW, Mercedes and others assemble in Egypt but under full and direct supervision of Nissan Japan, Mercedes, BMW German and the same with VolksWagen in South Africa.
So the question here, who is standing and supporting the IVM? Is it only an unkown Chinese factory. There is good Chinese cars like Cherry, which makes many models and will be sold in different countries as if each model is a brand itself.
Before praising or undervalue the manufacturers of IVM, we need to know more facts.[/size]

No need to get personal, and abusive, everyone is entitled to an opinion, you don't have to agree, just state yours.

GM doesn't make all the parts for their vehicles, true. But a greater percentage of the parts are made on behalf of GM, based on GM's designs. The engine blocks and internals, transmission cases and internals, axles, suspension etc are GM branded. Only common parts to other manufacturers will be items like tyres, and components within the ECU's, though the ECU's will contain GM maps.

Are there any Nigerian branded parts on those cars / vans? I'll bet you'll find the parts are branded Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Denso etc. Same thing happened many years ago, when the "Eddy Bongos" name was stamped on some small commercial vehicles, and branded "Nigerian built." When the truth was they were rebadged Mazda's, with slightly altered grilles, bumpers and emblems.

I'm glad you recognize that GM for instance does not make all the parts in their vehicle.
How do you know this guy doesn't have the designs specifically made for him?
What you are making are assumptions and even if we think they are parts from other cars,that should be commended.
One has to walk before running ain't it?

My sister Osisi, GM, like other major players in the automotive industry, hold the patents for the mechanical parts of their vehicles, as I posted previously. The only common parts manufacturers share are tyres, ECU components less the maps and parameters, paint and leather. The rest are made on their behalf, based on their engineers' blueprints.

Those that put the engines, transmissions, steering racks, suspension etc together could NOT supply these to other auto manufacturer's. Imagine the manufacturer's of a Mercedes Benz engine block supplying their engines to Nissan - Mercedes would sue them! Other car brands can only have an engine from another car, fitted to their production model if the owner of the patent gives the go-ahead.

I've been on the IVM website, and read all the stuff there - no way would Nigeria manufacture the engine blocks, cylinder heads, transmission etc, without proudly letting the world know. I would like it to be our indigenous product, believe me, but I'm a realist, and also know we don't currently have the necessary tooling to cast cylinder blocks and transmission cases on even a small scale.

Sorry!

oyb:

hopefully osisi will put her money where her mouth is and buy one of these cars

durumike9:

The cars looks very good my brother.one needs to know the prices so that i can even help market them

jek1471:

my people, why all the argument. Is is not Nnewi that produces most of the car parts we use today? So if they couple those parts together, will it
