Late 2019, IVM has released three new models with indigeneous names as below:
Innocent Chukwuma is worth about $1.5b or in the region of ₦540 billion. His core business is vehicle manufacturing, but he also has interests in agriculture, plastics, and motorcycles.
The IVM logo was a simple design of the word “IVM” around an ellipse. In May of 2019 a young Nigeria designer, Osuolale Farouq @osuolale_farouq designed a brand new logo for Innoson on a speculative basis.
In an amazing grass to grace story, the chairman of IVM then requested a meeting with the budding designer. Though details of the meeting were not disclosed...
The factory has good quality control tests that include
Road test, Engine test, Safety tests (seatbelts, airbags, etc), Sensors test, and a Rain test.
The debate has raged regarding whether IVM is just a simply assembly plant or a true automaker. IVM has maintained that it manufactures 70% of the components of its cars with just 30% imported . This makes IVM a true local automaker.
Sierra Leone, Mali, and Ghana are some countries where Innoson vehicles have been sold. Innoson plans to make itself a brand for all of Africa soon.
So yes, Innoson does manufacture cars, but not completely sometimes :).
Innoson builds armored vehicles for the Nigerian Army . Other Government bodies using Innoson vehicles include FRSC and 8 states recently listed as its patrons...
Finally, there remains an ongoing series of court cases involving Innoson, Innocent Chukwuma, GT Bank, and the EFCC back in late 2018.
