The Role of AI in the Automotive Industry Across Nigeria
Nigeria’s roads are filled with aging vehicles, informal repair shops, and rising emissions. The country’s auto sector—largely powered by informal mechanics—struggles with inefficient repairs, excessive fuel consumption, and environmental degradation. But a new wave of innovation is changing that.
Asoro Automotive is leading the charge by applying AI in the automotive industry to drive sustainability.
Smarter Diagnostics, Cleaner Engines
At the heart of Asoro Automotive’s solution is the G-OBD device, which uses artificial intelligence to detect faults early and accurately. This application of AI in the automotive industry enables mechanics to fix problems before they escalate, improving fuel efficiency and reducing harmful emissions.
Benefits include:
- Early detection of engine faults
- Reduced carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions
- Lower fuel consumption for fleets and private vehicles
These improvements are critical in Nigeria, where transportation emissions are rising and vehicle maintenance is often reactive.
Precision Repairs That Minimize Waste
Traditional repairs often involve trial-and-error part replacements, leading to unnecessary waste. Asoro Automotive’s AI-powered diagnostics guide mechanics to the exact fault, reducing the need for multiple parts and minimizing discarded components.
This results in:
- Less landfill waste from used auto parts
- Extended lifespan of vehicles and components
- More sustainable use of resources in the repair ecosystem
Empowering Mechanics with Sustainable Practices
Asoro Automotive doesn’t just provide tools—it builds capacity. Through training and community engagement, informal mechanics learn how to use AI-driven diagnostics to make smarter, more sustainable decisions.
Mechanics become:
- More efficient in their repairs
- Trusted advisors on vehicle health
- Contributors to cleaner urban environments
Supporting Nigeria’s Climate Goals
Nigeria has pledged to achieve 100% zero-emission sales for new cars and vans by 2040. While this goal targets future vehicles, the majority of cars on the road today are used and serviced by informal technicians. Asoro’s work brings sustainability to the vehicles already in circulation.
By applying AI in the automotive industry to reduce emissions and improve diagnostics, Asoro is helping Nigeria move toward its climate targets from the ground up.
Greener Roads, Stronger Communities
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s about people. Cleaner vehicles mean healthier air, safer roads, and more resilient communities. Asoro Automotive’s model creates jobs, reduces operating costs for fleets, and builds a repair culture rooted in precision and care.
With smarter repairs powered by AI in the automotive industry, Asoro Automotive is paving the way for greener roads across Nigeria—one mechanic, one vehicle, one community at a time.
