A cross section of Nigerians believe that the breakthrough by the Engineering Department of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN, can best be harnessed if the University will partner with Innoson Motors, who are already in the process of indigenous manufacturing of a local brand, the IVM series.
It will be recalled that the University, in response to a request by the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDCD), manufactured a 5- seater Electric Car named’ Lion Ozumba 551″ . UNN was one of the Universities mandated by the Council to manufacture an electric Car. Others are University of Lagos, Usuman Danfodo University and Matrological Institute representing the three major zones-North, East and West. UNN was the first to actualise the mandate.
