Dana Motors, has revealed entirely CNG-powered buses that are put together at its assembly plant in Isolo, Lagos, along the Oshodi-Apapa expressway.
Jacky Hathiramani, the managing director of Dana Motors, praised the historic accomplishment and called it “another new dawn” for Nigeria’s car and energy sectors.
He added that Dana Motors is still dedicated to providing Nigerians with the newest, greenest, and most reasonably priced automobile solutions.
Hathiramani further remarked,
With seating capacities ranging from 14 to 45, these CNG buses are designed to serve a broad segment of the Nigerian market and provide a significant cost savings over traditional gasoline or diesel-powered buses.
Daily Sun reported that during the debut, it was also discovered that the buses have a 500-kilometer range before needing to be recharged, which is an additional benefit for intra- and intercity transit.
The CNG buses are being offered by Dana Motors as a way to save money on transportation expenses and promote environmental sustainability.
In addition to being economically advantageous due to significant fuel cost reductions, CNG-powered buses also offer reduced emissions—a trend that most nations are pursuing in order to use cleaner energy for transportation.
The Managing Director also said,
More reassurances were provided by Hathiramani regarding Dana Motors’ commitment to support government efforts to promote CNG as an alternative fuel by supplying infrastructure, such as mobile CNG stations, primarily for fleet operators.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that Innocent Chukwuma, the managing director and chief executive officer of Innoson Motors, had begged Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday after seeing the President at the State House in Abuja, Chukwuma emphasised that the President has the ability to improve Nigeria.
He claimed that the purpose of his visit was to support the president.
