Elizade Nigeria Limited said it was set to kick off assembling of JAC brand of vehicles in the country.
The Managing Director of the company, Demola Ade-Ojo, said this in Lagos at the launch of an auto centre exclusively meant to market the JAC brand of vehicles.
He said the company had already secured the support of the JAC management to ensure the smooth commencement and success of the assembly operations. According to him, as part of the preparation for the project, his company had submitted an application to the National Automotive Design and Development Council and was expecting to be granted an auto manufacturer status.
The automobile investor said that the new venture was being undertaking with the Elizade Autoland name in partnership with a Chinese auto manufacturer, JAC Motors.
He revealed that the new auto centre worth over $2m (about N394), saying it was meant to provide an easy sale and a hassle- free maintenance arrangement for the JAC vehicles.
He said it took Elizade three years before the official launch because the firm had to subject the JAC brand to numerous tests to ensure it would not be a disappointment to Nigerians willing to use it for everyday vehicular needs
