On whether it's a self-designed car, or a licensed vehicle from China or elsewhere, I'm afraid I have no info

True, but on the site of this state government they mention it ;).

KeKe?
Which I believe is local dialect for a three wheeler.

I think that's right - a generic term, in other words.
Still looking for the name...
Title: Re: Q830
Post by: DeAutogids on April 12, 2013, 02:13:22 PM: This thread has seen more Nigerian car brands, even if three wheelers, then most sites combined about African car makes. I assume that it is not a Keke Napep, a vehicle which was made to reduce impoverment in Nigeria. I suppose it is not the Ajumose either, those seem to be Piaggo-copies. Difficult to findit seems!

Trident
Napep

No to all three I'm afraid...

Post by: Paul Jaray on April 30, 2013, 11:51:12 AM: I don't know the puzzle car, but this is made by Taixing Sandi:
Title: Re: Q830
Post by: kwgibbs on April 30, 2013, 01:12:07 PM: tricar-three-wheel?
Title: Re: Q830
Post by: sixtee5cuda on April 30, 2013, 03:36:27 PM: Searching for Taixing Sandi, I was able to find this vehicle under the model name 650Zk-4A (or SD650Zk-4A). There are very few pictures of this three-wheeler with the long third window on the side.
Title: Re: Q830
Post by: sixtee5cuda on April 30, 2013, 03:48:01 PM: The brand name may be PH, as provided by the Suzhou Puhan Power Machine Co., Ltd

(Sorry, ignore my purely Chinese guesses, as China was already excluded.)
Title: Re: Q830
Post by: pnegyesi on May 01, 2013, 02:29:19 AM: The puzzle car is a Laruti three-wheeler. The Lagos State Government on Tuesday directed the beneficiaries and operators of the Lagos State Rural Transport Initiatives (LARUTI) tricycles to restrict their operations to only designated rural areas and not the highways in the metropolis.
Title: Re: Q830
Post by: Quiller on May 01, 2013, 08:12:10 AM: Laruti is correct! It is made in Nigeria - but I agree it looks a lot like an extended Taixing Sandi, and there may well be a connection
Title: Re: Q830 - solved - Laruti
Post by: autospeurder on May 01, 2013, 01:32:15 PM: I would like to know who is producing (assembling) this car in Nigeria and their address.

Thanks
Title: Re: Q830 - solved - Laruti
Post by: pnegyesi on May 01, 2013, 02:59:11 PM: I did some more digging. Quiller, are you sure these are produced in Nigeria? There were talks about an assembly plant in Lagos, but I did not find any proof for that.
Title: Re: Q830 - solved - Laruti
Post by: sixtee5cuda on May 01, 2013, 04:36:58 PM: The Laruti Scheme distributes these tricycles in Lagos, but I don't think that is the actual brand name of this vehicle.
Title: Re: Q830 - solved - Laruti
Post by: Quiller on May 06, 2013, 01:29:25 PM: My reading of the info was that Laruti assembled them - but I could be wrong ...
