Simba TVS rolls out Kargo tricycle to ease Nigeria’s logistics woes
Simba TVS has launched its new Kargo tricycle in Nigeria, designed to improve last-mile delivery and address the growing logistics challenges faced by businesses and service providers across the country.
According to the company, the Simba TVS Kargo tricycles are adapted for cargo and utility purposes, from FMCG distribution to rural healthcare delivery, providing solutions to sectors long underserved by conventional logistics.
“Simba TVS Kargo is more than just another product, it’s a lifeline for businesses, farmers, and communities.
“We saw the struggles created by rising costs after fuel subsidy removal and stepped in with a solution that is practical, durable, and affordable,” Kamlesh Pitale, head of institutional sales at Simba Group said.
The company added that with a 400–550kg carrying capacity, the Simba TVS Kargo fills the critical gap between motorcycles and pickup trucks, backed by warranties, after-sales support, and customisation options.
“The vehicles are already in use across multiple industries, including poultry, crop farming, FMCG distribution, waste management, and even healthcare,” the company stated, noting that one standout innovation is the Simba TVS Ambulance Tricycle, designed to navigate rough terrain and reach remote communities with speed and efficiency.
“Recent deliveries have been made to Taraba State, Port Harcourt, and the Leprosy Missions in Lafia, Abuja. Known for its maneuverability, low fuel consumption, and high performance, the Simba TVS Ambulance Tricycle has been described as a life-saving option when minutes matter.
Major players such as Multipro and Tolaram have already embraced Simba TVS Kargo. Multipro alone operates more than 165 units nationwide, replacing decades-old imported trucks that were unreliable and costly to maintain,” they company noted.
Beyond vehicles, Simba TVS has invested heavily in after-sales infrastructure, committing more than N20 billion to service and support. With 50,000 trained mechanics, nationwide spare parts warehouses, and a 24-hour helpline, the company ensures minimal downtime for operators.
Its new ‘Service on Wheel’ campaign takes maintenance directly to customers’ locations, reducing operational disruptions.
Simba TVS also runs a youth training initiative, certifying more than 15,000 technicians in partnership with the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC). Riders are also given orientation sessions on maintenance, warranties, and best practices to maximize product life.
Jide Odelola, head of Marketing, said that Simba TVS Kargo is steadily becoming a permanent fixture in Nigeria’s logistics ecosystem.
“The traction is building rapidly. Soon, Simba TVS Kargo will be the go-to special-purpose vehicle across hospitals, churches, farms, SMEs, NGOs, and government agencies. These vehicles are built for Nigeria’s realities, durable, cost-effective, and reliable,” Odelia said.
With over 35 years of engineering expertise and a strong footprint across the country, Simba TVS is positioning Kargo as the future of last-mile mobility in Nigeria, a future that is affordable, practical, and truly transformative
