INCHCAPE AUTOMOTIVE INTRODUCES CHANGAN AUTO TO TANZANIA
Dar es Salaam, 18th April 2024: Inchcape Automotive Tanzania, a 100% subsidiary of Inchcape Plc, the world's leading distributor of automotive brands, proudly announces the arrival of Changan Auto, marking the brand's entry into the Tanzanian market.
Changan Auto, a globally renowned Chinese automotive group, stands as the number one selling brand in China and the fourth-largest Chinese automotive group globally, its operations spanning across Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and South America. Inchcape plc, headquartered in London, United Kingdom, extends its reach to 40 countries, including Tanzania.
The introduction of Changan Auto in Tanzania is a testament to the confidence in the continuous economic relationship between China and Tanzania but also the importance of the Tanzania market and customers in the global context. Changan Auto's active presence in other East African markets such as Kenya & Djibouti scores its commitment to delivering smarter and better value-for-money mobility solutions to automotive customers within the region.
"Changan" literally translates to "Lasting Safety," reflecting the company's core promise and dedication to research and development. With a wide network of design studios worldwide and advanced R&D capabilities, Changan Auto delivers cutting-edge technology and design in its vehicles.
Inchcape Automotive presents five models from Changan's comprehensive range of vehicles both in passenger and light commercial segments, including the Oshan SUV, Alsvin sedan, Hunter pickup, Star 5 Minivan, and the Star 5 mini truck Single & Double cabin. These models offer superior driving performance, fuel efficiency, advanced in-car technology, and robust safety systems at competitive price points.
All Changan vehicles come equipped with Euro 6 and Euro 4 engines*, backed by warranties ranging from 3 to 5 years depending on the model, aimed at delivering a fantastic driving and ownership experience for Tanzanian customers.
Additionally, NAS Tyres Services Limited (NTS) serves as the official after-sales service partner for Inchcape Automotive and Changan Auto in Tanzania, providing parts and service works at NTS Service Centres in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, and Arusha.
NTS will ensure that Changan Auto customers will have access to a state-of-the-art service center, genuine Changan parts & trained technicians. This will make sure the customers, being private or fleet ones, will always be taken care of wherever they are with their Changan vehicles. We are cognizant of the fact that some of the units are commercial and downtime means loss of money. NTS is here to make sure this does not happen.
Honourable Albert Chalamila, the Regional Commissioner of Dar es Salaam, has commended Inchcape Automotive for providing quality and affordable vehicles to Tanzanians, stating that this initiative will significantly enhance mobility in the city within both the passenger & commercial segments.
The Changan Auto models are now available for viewing and test driving at the Changan Showroom, located at AFED Business Park, Delta Towers on the ground floor along Pugu Road.
