Nigerians, Covenant University Students Build Hybrid Cars, Tricyles & Generator-Powered C.
Oct 7, 2014 – Nigerians, Covenant University Students Built Hybrid Cars, Tricyles & Generator-Powered Vehicles [PICTURES]
A major breakthrough has been made in the Nigerian automotive industry.
The first hybrid car made in Nigeria was unveiled at Winners Chapel in Ota this past Sunday by Bishop Davido Oyedepo.
The excited Man of God made the announcement during an inspirational sermon.
Some students of Covenant University have built two cars from scratch.
The red-car pictured below is a generator-powered car that will use 1 litre of fuel per 60 km while the grey one is an hybrid car.
The later was built with 3 powerful batteries that can be charged just like an inverter. The batteries will store up power and re-use later.
The excellent students also built a tricycle. Amazing!!!
See more photos below
Brilliant inventions.
Nigeria is blessed with intelligent people I believe things will get better for us if we can put our skills, talents and abilities to use.
Kudos to those excellent students.

Far frm being pessimistic or unpartrotic, d fact is that some ppl are stil blind. I mean total blind! What’s d meaning of ds? If nt 4d advertismnt of d school, ds z useless n demeaning. Why is it nt useless wen d clear procedure to mk those ar crystaly arranged on Google? Why z it nt waste n time n limited resources wen its just 4a mere project, nothing mor.. Those who claim to kno should think of inventing “unprecedented things/machines, nt following other ppls laid down procedures in producing material n b coupling “never-to-be-used fake machines. Think of inventing maybe: tree climbing machines, little home gadgets… I kno sm ppl may nt b happy wit me bt, ask urself, will u buy those cars frm dm? I strongly assert without fear of favor or contradiction, when ll u n i c those scraps dey call cars on our roads? Never! However, until we see them on our roads, their effort z in total futility, a-z useles. They should just tel us dt dey ar advertising dea school or dt dey just coupled dose scraps”. They bought d materials or dey melted d scraps/ore n dm mold dm into d required shapes?

unregenerated minds are not just only those dat are illetrates, its also found in many ppl dat can speak english and also those dat know how to log unto naijagists and make irresponsible comments like urs…
INNOSSON VEHICLE MANUFACTURES are today assembling and coupling cars, buses, jeeps and fellow Nigerians with a better brain head (unlike urs) are patronizing these vehicles.
if these amazing assemblage of cars and other stuff were done in UK, USA, JAPAN, CHINA, am not sure u will be here pouring ur (smelly) saliava…
i was already running a cybercafe when FACEBOOK launched his idea on the internet and i was one of those dat did not fancy anything special about facebook bcos its looked to me like a photocopy of yahoo messenger, and moreso u could enter a chatroom in yahoo messenger and join a topic & chat. But today, where is FACEBOOK & where is YAHOO MESSENGER? Just yesterday FACEBOOK concluded another ground breaking deal and has completely bought WATSUP! just for a few millions of good dollars.
ur words are more cancerous rather than beign encouraging… look for somewhere quiet and repent and change ur mindset…u will receive some healing in ur mind once u do dat and u will start thinking strat like someone dat not has a regenerated mind…!!!

I pity those who don’t see anything good in Nigeria –that’s witchcraft. Is a shame to all critics, after all your years on earth without being remembered for good thing. Stop talking bad against brilliant ones. Thank God for the gifted and amulate good people. If you think that Nigeria is the worst, try another country. Everybody mustnt be Abubakar Shekau whose job is to destroy innocent people. God bless Nigeria!

Those dude bought already made cars, removed the engine and changed d working principles. No doubt cos they tried but such innovations are not needed. Wat we nid is to invent new tins that have nt bn in existence. Nobody wil buy those cars, not even their bishop, let alone their members.
