ROTIMI ASHER
Dana Motors is bringing three Kia electric vehicles and a line-up of compressed natural gas (CNG) buses to Eagle Square, putting two alternatives to petrol and diesel in the spotlight at the 26th Abuja International Motor Fair.
The flagship Kia EV9 will lead the electric line-up alongside the EV3 and EV5 at the fair, which runs from November 10 to 13, 2026. The Sonet, Seltos, Sportage and Sorento will round out the display, giving visitors a look at Kia’s SUV range.
The CNG buses bring a sharper business question to the show floor. With fuel costs squeezing transport operators, how much could switching fuels save on a daily route? For prospective EV buyers, the show offers a chance to ask about charging, servicing and what it takes to run an electric vehicle in Nigeria.
Dana Motors, Kia’s authorised Nigerian distributor, will also highlight its investment in local assembly through United Vehicle Assembly Limited (UVAL). The wholly Nigerian company has operated in the country’s automotive sector for more than 25 years and supports its vehicles through an after-sales network and genuine spare parts supply.
“Our investment in electric mobility and CNG solutions also reflects our belief that Nigeria’s automotive future must embrace more affordable and sustainable transportation options,” said Jacky Hathiramani, Chief Executive Officer of Dana Motors Limited.
Co-organised by the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) and BKG Exhibitions Limited, the fair is themed “Driving Nigeria’s Automotive Future.” Discussions are expected to cover local production, investment, technology transfer and the adoption of electric and CNG vehicles.
Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, is the Special Guest of Honour, while Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike is the Chief Host.
