In A Stride Toward Promoting Cleaner And More Cost-Effective Transportation In Nigeria, Hyundai Nigeria, A Subsidiary Of Stallion Group, Has Launched A New Range Of Locally Assembled Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicles. This significant development is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (Pi-CNG), which aims to make CNG vehicles more accessible across the country.
The models introduced by Hyundai Nigeria include the Hyundai Grand i10, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Creta, and Hyundai Tucson. These vehicles, now assembled in Nigeria, are equipped with factory-fitted CNG kits that offer substantial savings on fuel costs and contribute to a more environmentally sustainable mode of transport. With this launch, Hyundai has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the federal government’s initiative to increase the availability of green transportation options. Mr. Gaurav Vashisht, Head of Sales and Marketing at Hyundai Nigeria, described the unveiling of the CNG models as a significant contribution to the government’s goal of transitioning Nigeria to a more eco-friendly and cost-efficient transportation system. According to Vashisht, Hyundai’s CNG vehicles are designed to cater to a broad range of customers, including fleet owners, retail buyers, and corporate companies seeking to reduce transportation costs while minimizing their environmental impact. “CNG vehicles are not only more affordable to operate compared to petrol cars, but they are also much safer and better for the environment
Vashisht said. “With factory-fitted CNG kits, our new models—Hyundai Grand i10, Accent, Creta, and Tucson—are tropicalized for Nigerian roads and climate, ensuring reliability and longevity.” He added that these vehicles are targeted at a wide array of potential buyers, from individual customers looking for affordable cars to large corporations seeking fleet solutions. The CNG Grand i10, for example, is tailored for first-time car buyers and fleet owners who prioritize low ownership costs and reliability.
