Hyundai Motors Nigeria Limited has launched precision-engineered Hyundai HD Series special vehicles to boost the acquisition of value-driven commercial vehicles in Nigeria.
Managing Director, Hyundai Motors Nigeria Limited, Mr. Pavir Singh, at the official unveiling of the new vehicles at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, said that the decision to introduce affordably priced hi-tech Hyundai special vehicles was prompted by the spate of decrepit and old fashioned trucks and buses that add zero value to the supply chain.

Singh said: “We cannot continue to fold our arms and watch stakeholders in the haulage, construction and essential services’ business loose precious man-hours and money to unproductive and dilapidated trucks that make business a harrowing experience.”
?Mr. Singh said that Hyundai Nigeria sought the consent of Hyundai Motors Company to provide full scale support for Hyundai commercial vehicles in Nigeria.
He explained that the addition of Hyundai commercial vehicles to its passenger car division was a sheer routine that would not affect service schedule or alter the work pattern of the workshop, having at inception, integrated the commercial arm of Hyundai into the after-sales and workshop agenda.
