Carloha, the franchise holder and assembler of Chery vehicles in Nigeria, has showcased Chery Arrizo 5’s CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) conversion.
This was at the Nigerian Artisans and Technicians Conference (NATCO) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment, which took place at the Old NITEL Compound, Lagos.
The highlight of the event was the demonstration of the conversion capability, a significant step towards more eco-friendly transportation solutions in Nigeria.
The Arrizo 5 CNG technology combines Chery’s modern design aesthetics with state-of-the-art technology, making it a standout option for eco-conscious consumers.
It offers impressive fuel efficiency that translates to lower running costs for everyday drivers, with lower carbon emissions, contributing to a cleaner, greener future for Nigeria’s roads.
Carloha’s technical team explained how the system allows drivers to switch between CNG and petrol, giving them flexibility, cost savings, and a lower environmental footprint.
Technicians were impressed with the vehicle’s adaptability and ease of use, receiving practical insights into the CNG system, maintenance tips, and the long-term benefits for Nigerian drivers and mechanics alike.
