A video of a Nigerian pick-up truck has attracted attention online. The vehicle is the Nord Tank and it is produced by NORD Motion, a Lekki based company.

I discovered that the company also has other models of vehicles like the Nord Flit minivan, the Nord A3 sedan, the Nord A5 SUV and the Nord Max pickup truck.

Nord joins a growing list of Nigerian auto brands which includes Obasa Specialty Vehicles (OSV), Innoson Vehicle Manufacturers (IVM), Proforce and Bennie Technologies.

I was shocked when I discovered that some people believe that the word Nord came from Ford. That's a shocking level of ignorance. It means that they do not know that the word Nord has existed for more than a millenia (long before the Ford Motor Company was dreamt of) and that it means North. There have been very many companies that have had the name Nord.


Here are some of Nord's vehicles.


1) Nord A3 sedan.

2) Nord A5 SUV

3) Nord Tank pickup truck

4) Nord Max pickup truck

kponkedenge:
Why not look for another more fitting name.... What is the meaning of NORD? Are we trying to copy FORD just like we copied Hollywood for Nollywood.

naptu2:
I wrote the meaning of Nord on the first page, why don't people read!

Nord means North in several romance languages and it is a word that has existed long before the Ford Motor Company was even dreamt of.

It can also mean go upwards or go forward.

Hmmmmmm, this is deep!
That is some Nairaland members for you.
They read the headline only and start vomiting!

lamentor78:
This is why the North is afraid of the south, because is only cow they know to be following all about in the name of farming

When you lie down on your mat in the village,
this is the kinda comment you will come online typing and embarrassing yourself at the end of the day.
We guess this kid doesn't know we have more than 20 type of what Innoson motors is doing right now in the north,
which has been there and producing for many many years now.
Illiteracy is not just a disease, it's something worse!
Smh!

More like ford truck

Same way motorcycles moved from whole importation to parts importation and assembly due to its cost efficiency.. Its obvious cars are moving in that direction aswell to take advantage of the market..

Auto importers should look into this direction, if the prices can match the cost of the average tokunbo, am sure it would take over the market.

The Chinese would be at great advantage because the Nigerian auto industry market would shift from the used US cars to assembled Chinese/Japanese imports 100%.. likewise even if the laws of demand and supply force the cost of used tokunbo's more attractive, the Govt could always regulate it with high custom tariff because it earns more from the assembled..

am Impress by the brains behind this automobile...
it's design, interior, logo etc....
soon it will flood every street in Nigeria...
we are getting there..

Nice one, it will get better

gensteejay:
Wow. This is laudable.

You can say that again great Jay!

winterfell007:
Don't be ridiculous. We all welcome the development. It's a win-win situation for all. Stop promoting enthic sentiments

Thanks so much for this.
It is appaling to read some tribalistic comments on this good thread.
So appalling!

Wang1tang:
