Innoson Vehicles

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited is dedicated to producing and selling high-quality vehicles that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations, as well as all relevant statutory and quality requirements. We are fully committed to continuously improving our quality management system, which is communicated, understood, implemented, and maintained at all levels of our organization. This commitment is shared by our Chairman/Chief Executive Officer.

Our story began in 1978 in Nnewi, a commercial town in the Eastern part of Nigeria where motorcycle importation was the norm. By 1987, a new motorcycle cost N150,000 while a foreign-used one sold for N100,000 – N90,000. However, Innocent Chukwuma, the 25-year-old founder of Innoson Motors (IVM), was determined to bring down costs and provide affordable motorcycles to his fellow Nigerians. He successfully launched the first Made-in-Nigeria motorcycle brand, selling for as low as N60,000 and ultimately driving out foreign-used motorcycles from Nigeria by 2002.

Today, we are proud to manufacture durable and affordable brand-new automobiles for Africans, selling at prices similar to their foreign-used equivalents. Our cars are of equal quality to any foreign automobile brand. However, there is still a large disparity in the ratio of brand-new to foreign-used automobiles on Nigerian roads, with a recent PwC research showing a ratio of 1:131. We remain committed to our mission of providing affordable and high-quality vehicles to our customers.
