The main component of the loan for setting up production in the amount of 50 million dollars was decided to be provided to the Kenyans by the private investment company PanAfrican Investment Company.
An investor was found, and the manufacturer is already ready to produce 50 cars, named Mobius II. The company has only one model so far. According to representatives of the newly minted brand, they even have preliminary orders. They have decided to modestly keep silent about their number. While they will fulfill orders for the first model, they can simultaneously develop the next one - Mobius III. That is where the investors' money may be spent.
What is the newly appeared competitor of the Duster (or maybe even the "Niva")? At the base of the car is a steel tubular frame, covered with body panels, which, according to the authors' idea, should not be many. The suspension is leaf-spring at the rear, and classic MacPherson at the front. For the sake of economy, they decided to abandon side glazing and even the rear door.
Up to eight passengers can be accommodated in the cabin, and if you need to transport cargo, the seats can simply be removed. Ground clearance is 260 millimeters, and load capacity is 625 kg.
The engine, however, is rather small, only 1.6 liters, petrol, with modest 86 hp. The gearbox is, of course, manual. The maximum speed exceeds all conceivable limits that an African road can allow - as much as 120 km/h.
For only 950,000 Kenyan shillings (about 10,000 dollars), you can become the happy owner of this miracle of the African automotive industry.
