- Nigerian, Israeli and Japanese governments collaborate to produce electric motorcycles.
- The projects will help both transportation and climate change issues.
The governments of Nigeria, Isreal and Japan have entered a partnership to begin manufacturing electric motorcycles. The pact is Nigeria’s first step toward creating an eco-friendly environment by reducing carbon emissions in the transport industry.
According to the Israeli ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, the alliance, combining Israeli, Japanese, and Nigerian technologies, would address the numerous issues impacting Nigeria’s transportation and environmental sectors.
The collaboration, which, according to Prof. Mohammed Haruna, Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, has become permanent and will be domesticated throughout the nation, was praised. “The first attempt to domesticate certain technologies in this country, especially in the automobile industry, has not worked with continuous importation. NASENI has come into this now with the perfect partners, Japanese and Israeli companies whose technologies are proven and known.” Haruna said.
