Maduka Smart and Olukoya Olusanya are graduates of Mechanical Engineering, University of Lagos. Smart is a design enthusiast with vast knowledge in the design language and Olukoya, an automotive expert.It all started while they were students at the University of Lagos and wanted to try their hands on something practical. They thought of what they could do for their country and make the world a better place to live in. These thoughts informed their decision to build D0VE P1, Nigeria’s first zero emission, Eco-friendly electric vehicle.

A few words about your competitors
Toyota has begun introducing hybrids into the production line for some of its products. Tesla, a US based company has gone even further to create fully electric vehicles; Chevrolet also has begun the development of fully electric vehicles. These companies might become competitors. They still can’t meet the demand in few years to come when internal combustion engines could be completely abolished. Essentially, we are all in the research phase just at different levels with varied resources.
