The Chinese truck manufacturer, JAC Motors, has continued to improve on the quality of its truck models as it competes favourably with other popular European brands.
The Group Managing Director , Lanre Shittu Motors, Taiwo Shittu, has said.

some automakers are beginning to drop quality of their models due to rising cost of trucks, even as he warned truck buyers in Nigeria to be mindful of the quality and the support being offered to avert frequent breakdown of the vehicles. He encouraged fleet owners to visit their Showroom and request test drive to ascertain the product they want to invest in.

He particularly noted that the drop in truck quality could be found in areas such as the axle, transmission system, frame, Cab and the Chassis.

He said, “Instead of increasing the quality of their trucks, many are reducing it so as to maintain low cost. For instance, some have reduced their axle from 16 tons to 12; from double frame to single, and from 12-speed transmission to 10.”

He however said JAC brand of trucks has maintained high quality and could compare well in many areas with those from popular European manufacturers.

JAC Trucks has been embraced and accepted by the big players in the industry across the Southern and Northern parts of the Nigeria.

“Those who use the JAC trucks can tell the difference. We have an excellent after sales service that reduces down time. JAC trucks come with air conditioner; the seats have air suspension; the power steering is Bosch, giving you a good cruise/ride and allows driver to be comfortable after driving for a long time.”

Taiwo Shittu said “the quality of after-sale support offered by an auto company will largely determine how long its vehicles will stay active on the road”. He said, “A brand can be good but without a good after sales support, the brand will pack-up in no time.

“There are many “Brief Case” business men coming into Nigeria today without an office going about looking for who to sell trucks to knowing fully well that the trucks are not built for the Nigerian market. They sell and leave one with problems and without any support.

“Even if you bring the best truck from Germany, without any support, it will crumble in no time.”
