It is no doubt that Sierra Leone and Most African countries are depending on imported vehicles from international company outside of Africa which have led to the increase in cost of vehicles, with the high demand of vehicle’s in Africa to support business transportation, this have led many company to spend 1/3 of their money out of the country to purchase this machines with a high expenditure to maintain or repair them, some of this machines are not suitable for our system in Africa.

 

The luct car he build from trash use automate car operation system, the fuel as a source of energy to operate. When asked about what makes the car different from others, Ibrahim Said

“This luct car is an automate car that use lesser fuel compare to order car and our we are trying to convert it into electric car.”
