ANAMMCO appeals to government, private organisations to patronise locally made vehicles
Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company (ANAMMCO) has urged government and corporate organisations to prioritise patronage of locally-made vehicles to create employment and boost the country’s economy.
ANAMMCO’s general manager, Chinelo Igwe, made the call on Thursday during a news conference at the ongoing 35th Enugu International Trade Fair.
Ms Igwe noted that patronage of locally made vehicles would boost production and create massive employment, reducing crime, especially among youths.
She said the company was partnering with Dongfeng to produce light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty trucks built to withstand Nigerian roads and convey tonnes of goods across the country’s length and breadth.
According to her, ANAMMCO offers a three-year service warranty on its trucks. She added that, through synergy with GUO Motors, the company had opened service workshops in all states and readily available parts for all trucks.
“Our trucks are made with Nigerian roads, fuel supply and economy in mind. They are highly durable and rugged, with simple engines for lower fuel consumption while they are easily affordable. The trucks are 100 per cent manufactured in the country with locally sourced materials, with seasoned professional plant workers and time-tested technicians to give sound after-sales servicing and repairs.
“These trucks are our own. We want massive patronage for all our trucks to make our plant facilities perform optimally and enable us to employ additional thousands of youths,” Ms Igwe explained.
The Enugu Chamber of Commerce director-general, Uche Uba, said ANAMMCO was known for producing durable vehicles for ages.
Mr Mbah also mentioned that ANAMMCO vehicles remained a testament to a Nigerian vehicle manufacturing company offering high international standards at home.
