Commercial Vehicle Procurement and Fleet Sourcing for Nigeria

EuroVista helps Nigerian businesses, logistics operators, NGOs, and project teams source commercial vehicles, vans, trucks, EVs, and site-support units with inspection, shipping, customs coordination, and delivery.

Procurement support from specification to delivery

Single unit or fleet

We support one specialised vehicle, a pilot order, or multi-unit fleet procurement with itemised pricing.

Supplier and route feasibility

Each request is checked for supplier access, build timeline, shipping route, documents, duties, and delivery constraints.

Solar-backed EV option

EV procurement can be paired with on-site solar charging where grid availability would limit adoption.

Vehicle categories

01

Commercial vehicles

Sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, and light commercial vehicles for offices, teams, and field operations.

02

Logistics vans and trucks

Cargo vans, light trucks, refrigerated bodies, tippers, and delivery units for Nigerian routes.

03

Project vehicles

Utility vehicles, crew transport, mobile workshops, and site-support units for infrastructure projects.

04

Electric vehicles

EV sourcing with charging feasibility review and optional solar-backed charging design.

05

Inspection and customs

Pre-shipment inspection, freight planning, broker coordination, and delivery documentation.

The Nigerian vehicle procurement process

01

Procurement brief

You send vehicle type, quantity, destination port (Lagos/Apapa, Tin Can, Port Harcourt, or Warri), intended use, body configuration, budget range, and timeline.

02

Sourcing and feasibility

EuroVista checks supplier access, build lead time (4–16 weeks depending on source country — UK, UAE, Japan, Germany, or China), and shipping route feasibility. We confirm SONCAP eligibility for the specific make and model.

03

Quotation in Naira

Full landed cost estimate covering CIF price, Form M processing, SONCAP conformity assessment, import duty (5–35% depending on HS code), shipping, clearing, and delivery. All quoted and paid in Nigerian Naira.

04

Supplier engagement and deposit

EuroVista places the order with the supplier. Deposit clears. Production or pre-shipment preparation begins.

05

Pre-shipment inspection

Our inspection partner verifies VIN, engine condition, mileage (where applicable), documentation, and compliance marking before the vessel sails.

06

Shipping and freight

Bill of lading, cargo insurance, and container tracking are provided throughout the voyage.

07

Nigerian customs and port clearing

EuroVista coordinates with a licensed customs broker for Form M, SGD, SONCAP, SON fees, and terminal delivery.

08

Delivery to your location

Final road delivery to your Nigerian destination, with a handover checklist and full documentation package.

Compliance and import documentation

Form M

Every import transaction above the prescribed threshold must be backed by a Form M, issued by a Nigerian bank. EuroVista coordinates the proforma invoice you will submit to your bank to initiate the process.

SONCAP

The Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme is mandatory for most imported goods, including vehicles. The exporter applies for a Product Certificate (PC) from an accredited SON partner at origin. EuroVista tracks this with your supplier to avoid port delays.

Import duty

Vehicles attract 5–35% import duty depending on type. Passenger vehicles: 5–20%. Commercial trucks: 5–10%. Some EV categories attract 0% under ECOWAS CET incentive schemes. EuroVista provides HS code guidance as part of the quotation.

NAFDAC and SON fees

Applicable depending on vehicle category and intended use. EuroVista confirms applicable levies during the feasibility and quotation stage.

Pre-shipment inspection — what we check

EuroVista coordinates pre-shipment inspection through an accredited inspection partner at origin. Inspection is carried out before the vessel sails and a written report is issued prior to shipment confirmation. The following items are assessed on every unit:

  • VIN verification against the purchase order
  • Engine, transmission, and drivetrain condition
  • Body and chassis inspection — rust, damage, and structural integrity
  • Interior and controls check — odometer, electrics, and climate systems
  • Fluid levels, tyres, brakes, and lights
  • Documentation matching — specifications, country of origin, and SONCAP Product Certificate
  • Test drive where operationally feasible
  • Photo record and inspection report issued before shipment is confirmed

Spare parts and maintenance continuity

Spare parts availability is a critical procurement consideration that many Nigerian fleet buyers overlook. A vehicle that is cost-effective to import but impossible to service in Nigeria becomes a liability within 18 months.

EuroVista advises on parts availability before the procurement decision is finalised. For vehicles from major brands with established Nigerian dealer or distributor networks — Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Isuzu, SINOTRUK, FAW — spares are locally available and service intervals manageable.

For specialist or less common vehicles, EuroVista can source an initial spare parts package alongside the vehicle order, reducing exposure to early downtime.

Maintenance manuals and wiring diagrams are provided as part of the handover documentation for every unit procured.

Questions Nigerian fleet buyers ask most

Can I pay in Naira with no foreign exchange exposure?

Yes. You pay EuroVista in Nigerian Naira. EuroVista manages all supplier payments, freight, port charges, and clearing fees — no FX transaction on your side.

What is the minimum order quantity?

EuroVista supports single-unit procurement for specialised vehicles. For standard commercial vehicles, pilot orders of 1–3 units are common. Larger fleet orders receive itemised discount pricing.

How long does procurement take from order to delivery?

Typical end-to-end timeline: 10–20 weeks. New-build vehicles from Europe or Japan take 14–20 weeks; ex-stock or UAE-sourced vehicles can deliver in 8–12 weeks. A timeline estimate is included with every quotation.

Can EVs be imported and charged in Nigeria?

Yes. EuroVista can source EVs and simultaneously design a solar-backed charging solution for your site. The NEPA grid alone is insufficient for commercial EV charging without a stable, reliable power source — a solar installation resolves this and improves the business case for EV adoption.
