Dana Motors Limited has intensified its push to dominate Nigeria’s emerging electric vehicle (EV) market, unveiling a broad-based investment drive aimed at accelerating the country’s transition to clean mobility and positioning itself at the center of Africa’s green transportation revolution.
The company disclosed that it is making significant investments across the entire electric mobility value chain, extending far beyond vehicle sales to include local assembly, charging infrastructure, technical capacity development, financing solutions, component localization, after-sales support, and strategic partnerships.
As Nigeria advances efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and embrace sustainable transportation, Dana Motors says it is building the foundation for a robust EV ecosystem capable of supporting long-term industrial growth, job creation, and technological innovation.
The company’s investment portfolio spans electric vehicle manufacturing and assembly, sales and distribution, spare parts development, charging station deployment, vehicle leasing and financing programmes, technical training initiatives, skills acquisition, local content integration, and export opportunities.
Dana Motors is also strengthening collaborations with government agencies, financial institutions, technology providers, and private-sector stakeholders to support the implementation of Nigeria’s National Electric Vehicle Development Agenda and accelerate EV adoption nationwide.
Speaking on the company’s strategic direction, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Dana Motors Limited, Jacky Hathiramani, described electric mobility as one of the biggest opportunities for Nigeria’s industrial and economic transformation.
“At Dana Motors, we see electric mobility as much more than a business opportunity. It is a catalyst for economic growth, industrial development, innovation, and environmental sustainability. Our focus is not only on delivering world-class electric vehicles to Nigerians but also on building the infrastructure, partnerships, technical capacity, and local value chains required to support a thriving EV ecosystem,” he said.
According to him, the company remains fully aligned with government efforts to promote cleaner transportation alternatives and reduce carbon emissions while strengthening local manufacturing capabilities.
“We are investing across the entire electric vehicle value chain, from assembly and distribution to charging infrastructure, financing solutions, skills development, and local content integration. Our objective is to make electric mobility accessible, practical, and sustainable for Nigerians while contributing meaningfully to national development goals,” Hathiramani added.
He stressed that collaboration among policymakers, industry players, financial institutions, technology providers, and development partners would be critical to unlocking the full potential of Nigeria’s electric vehicle industry.
With its expanding investments and aggressive focus on innovation, local manufacturing, and ecosystem development, Dana Motors is rapidly positioning itself as a major force in Nigeria’s automotive transformation and a key player in shaping Africa’s sustainable mobility future.
Dana Motors Limited remains one of Nigeria’s leading automotive companies, driving innovation in electric vehicles, CNG-powered vehicles, and next-generation mobility solutions while contributing to economic growth, industrial development, and environmental sustainability.
