It was founded by Chief Innocent Chukwuma Nwala. Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing is nicknamed Pride Of African Road.

The photos emerged after the company last week commissioned of a range of vehicles that run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG).

The gas-powered vehicles included long intra-city buses; heavy-duty truck heads; and a 1.5-litre passenger car produced by the first indigenous automaker.

The vehicles were commissioned by Otunba Francis Meshioye, the President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), who led a delegation of the association’s leaders to the fast-expanding plant in Nnewi in Anambra State.

Chief Innocent Chukwuma, the Chairman, Innoson Group, while giving an insight into the project at the commissioning ceremony, said his company realised the fact that the automotive fuel of the future was gas, mainly because of its economic advantages and environment-friendliness.
