Simba Motors, part of the Simba Group of Companies, recently launched a 2014 version of their popular ‘Kary-Go’, a light cargo carrying three-wheeler vehicle.
The vehicle has enjoyed high patronage from leading multinational companies who have taken advantage of the tremendous advantages the vehicle has, for last-leg distribution.
The 2014 model enjoys greater mileage and load bearing efficiencies and is now available in 200cc and 250cc versions, and is able to carry loads up to 500KG.
Cargo three-wheelers, or motorized tricycles as they are sometimes called, are used across emerging markets for last-leg distribution.
Their size and fuel-economies make them efficient solutions for rural transportation as well as to meet the distribution needs of companies within urban areas where road infrastructure is poor.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Kapoor, representative of Simba Motors said “We are delighted to introduce the 2014 version of the Kary-Go to the Nigerian market. The new vehicle has undergone extensive on-road testing in Nigeria over the last few months, and has been able to deliver greater operating savings to users. We have had a tremendous response from our clients so far”.
The company paid tribute to the support they have received from their growing dealer network which has enabled nationwide penetration. Simba also attributed their success to their nationwide service infrastructure which is able to cater to the needs of the users and ensure minimum downtime when maintenance is required.
The Group has also engaged in the training of thousands of mechanics across the country, who service the vehicles, as well as for multinationals who demand training for their drivers. Kapoor added, “Training is at the heart of our value proposition. If our clients and their distributors are to realise the full benefit of this transportation solution, we are determined to provide the training that ensures that the vehicles are used to their maximum potential and deliver benefits to the users well into the future.”
