And they managed to achieve this goal. The Mobius features no electronics, no air conditioners and no heaters ‒ nothing superfluous at all. The simplest control, extremely light weight due to the tubular frame, the possibility to travel even on the bonnet or on the roof (special planes and handles are designed for this) and roominess are its characteristic features.

Car Brands Tunisia

Since the body is plastic, the company gives a lifetime anti-corrosion warranty. In principle, it is a typical beach car. There is an electric version of the vehicle as well.

Car Brands Uganda

Licensed production

In Africa there are several manufacturing companies operating under the licenses of major global automotive producers. For example, the Egyptian company Speranza produces the Daewoo cars (the models Tiggo, Envy, A113, M11 and M12) under license and quite successfully delivers them to the whole territory of North Africa.

MCV in South Africa makes trucks and buses under licenses issued by Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, MAN, as well as its own brand Evolution (however, these are also modified license cars).

African buses appeared in the line when the Egyptians bought the English company Marshall Bus which became the basis of bus production.

The Egyptian Nasr, for instance, produces cars licensed by the Turkish company Tofas which in turn manufactures them under a long-standing license from Fiat (in particular, the 1984 Fiat 131 model).

On the whole, global car manufacturers are looking for opportunities in Africa. The market is really profitable as the continent’s population is nearly 1.2 billion people while the number of passenger vehicles operating there is about 21.6 million.

Many of the global companies have numerous subsidiaries on the continent, especially in South Africa. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Volkswagen, Nissan, Toyota and others have been present there for several decades producing hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year.
