Jet Systems Limited, assemblers of Jet brand of vehicles in Nigeria, has said its foray into the electric vehicle was in response to government’s policy and a strategic investment towards contributing to efforts to contain global warming through less dependence on fossil fuel.

Jet Systems joined the ivy league of vehicle manufacturers recently when it received the Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA) award for Electric Vehicle (EV) promoter of the year.

The firm explained that the JET EVs were products of many years of quiet but intensive research, which are already positively impacting the experience of African automobile users.

JET Motor company’s director of sales and marketing, Sanjay Rupani,  stated that the firm’s other product, the JET Mover, a luxury, durable, yet affordable minibus built specifically for African roads, has also received tremendous reviews by industry watchers and users.

Rupani said, “The JET Mover EV is a combination of the best in design and technology practices from Europe and Asia, tropicalised for Africa. The shock absorbers are stronger than average, ground clearance is higher and tyre sizes are bigger. Generally, our testing has led us to see what is best for the Nigerian and African market and that is what we have built with JET Mover EVS”.

The company’s Strategy & Projects head and Chief Financial Officer, Oluwemimo Joseph, said: “For now, we are not as focused on profitability as we are on becoming the first truly Nigerian brand delivering on quality and affordability. The JET Mover currently offers more value for money than the closet competition. “Our current EV prototypes can be driven for over 300 kilometres on a single charge.”
