A Fabrication Engineer, 25, has produced Nigeria’s first carbon fibre car and he has received much applause from almost all Nigerians.
The engineer who also doubles as the CEO of Bennie Technologies LTD identified as Jerry Isaac Mallo unveiled Nigeria’s first carbon fibre car which he manufactured on November 28.
When unveiling the vehicle, he also hinted on creating more innovative products. He also indicated that he got the inspiration to create the sports car because Nigeria and Africa is a very big market for luxury vehicles.
“In Europe, we learnt that making the car is just half of the challenge, and selling it is the other half; Africa is usually is the target place to sell these vehicles, so I feel there’s a big market for it here,” he told reporters during the unveiling ceremony.
He hailed his state government noting that they have been quite supportive, disclosing that his state governor, Governor Simon Lalong was the chief unveiler of his car named Bernie Purrie.
Mallo said most people get crushed in cars because those cars are made from aluminium or galvanized sheets that cannot absorb shocks at high speed adding that his cars come with 130 big horsepower which goes from 0 to 120 in 12seconds and also has a 2.0litre engine.
