In his remarks at the event, the General Manager Marketing & Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group, Abiona Babarinde said, “Currently, we are still assembling two variants of the Renault brand locally at our assembly plant in Awoyaya, Lagos, namely Logan and Duster.
“Clearly, we have the capacity to add more variants to our local assembly line and hope that the time will soon come when the infrastructural deficit in the country will improve to give conducive business environment to investors like Coscharis that still believe in our nation Nigeria.
“Then we shall gladly increase the number of locally assembled variants and probably assemble all the variants that we market in the country. More importan for us is that this gives us the opportunity to deliver value to the bigger economy in terms of job employment amongst other economic advantages with the sustenance and expansion of the local assemblies across the country.”
Coscahris also offers trade-in option to customers who currently own a Renault vehicle and wish to exchange them for new models.
