Local importer/distributor Stallion will assemble Volkswagen vehicles at its plant in Nigeria in 2015.

StarAfrica reported Stallion initially plans to assemble the Amarok pickup truck and CC and Jetta sedan models at the plant, followed by the Tiguan SUV, Passat sedan and other models in later phases.

The Stallion group is Nigeria’s importer/distributor of VW Group brands Porsche, Audi, Skoda and VW and also handles Hyundai, Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Nissan, Foton and Ssangyong, according to its website.

Its vehicle assembly plant in Lagos is able to assemble a range of branded vehicles “with the highest quality standards” and can produce city buses, pick ups, trucks and other similar vehicles, replacing import of fully built up vehicles, the website says.
