Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM), an indigenous car manufacturer, has joined the "FUEL - LOL" number plate trend.

Legit.ng had earlier reported that an electric Tesla Model X sedan was recently sighted in Lagos with the license plate "FUEL - LOL," which appears to mock traditional International Combustion Engine-powered (ICE) vehicles.
