LOXEA Nigeria, a subsidiary of CFAO Mobility, has officially launched BYD (Build Your Dreams) electric vehicles in the Nigerian market.
The launch introduces two pioneering BYD models to Nigerian roads: the BYD Atto 3 and the BYD Dolphin, both renowned for their performance, safety, and environmental efficiency. With this development, LOXEA becomes the first to distribute BYD electric vehicles in Nigeria, positioning itself at the forefront of the country’s energy transition efforts.
“We are proud to be the first to distribute BYD electric vehicles in Nigeria,” said Mehdi Slimani, Managing Director of LOXEA Nigeria. “This launch underscores our strong commitment to promoting sustainable mobility in Nigeria. We aim to provide an ecosystem that supports EV adoption—from vehicle supply to aftersales, maintenance, and infrastructure.”
LOXEA is providing a comprehensive EV support package, including installation of electric vehicle charging stations, maintenance and repair services and availability of genuine spare parts.
As part of its long-term vision, LOXEA will soon unveil a new showroom in Victoria Island, Lagos, which will house Nigeria’s first official BYD charging station. The facility is set to provide a modern and immersive customer experience, combining comfort, innovation, and economic efficiency.
This strategic partnership with BYD comes at a pivotal moment in the global EV landscape. BYD recently celebrated the production of its 10 millionth new energy vehicle, reinforcing its position as a global leader in electric mobility.
The introduction of BYD EVs in Nigeria is expected to revolutionize urban transportation, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance environmental consciousness. This move also aligns with broader trends across Africa, where countries are accelerating the shift to electric vehicles as part of their climate action and energy independence agendas.
