CAWIN Mobil, led by Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Wayne Ji, has announced a significant initiative to deploy 500 electric vehicles (EVs) in Abuja, targeting an annual fuel savings of $3.5 billion for Nigeria. This project aims to reduce carbon emissions by nine million tons each year and increase driver income by $2,000 annually.

The initiative also involves the establishment of an electric vehicle technical excellence center in Abuja, which is expected to enhance public transport electrification in Nigeria. The project represents a commitment to building a cleaner, smarter, and sustainable future for Nigeria, positioning the country as a leader in electric mobility in Africa.
