Nigerian company Siltech has taken a major step in Africa’s electric mobility sector by launching the E-Falcon 003, a custom-built electric vehicle (EV) designed for the U.S. Consul General. The company also unveiled “The Elohim – Dove,” Africa’s first recycled heavy-duty logistics and cold storage mobile market. Both projects are part of Siltech’s mission to decarbonize Africa and lead the continent’s electric vehicle transformation.

The E-Falcon 003, inspired by the sleek design of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk aircraft, combines cutting-edge technology with rugged versatility. Tolu Williams, Siltech’s founder, emphasized the broader impact of the launch. “This is more than just an electric vehicle; it demonstrates what Nigerian manufacturing can achieve on the global stage. We’re proud to present the E-Falcon as a symbol of innovation and the future of EVs in Africa.”

With a range of 350 kilometers, the E-Falcon 003 is designed to handle both on- and off-road conditions, making it ideal for Africa’s diverse landscapes. Williams also noted that 65% of the vehicle’s raw materials are sourced locally, underscoring Siltech’s commitment to Nigerian manufacturing. “The Falcon features swappable battery technology, improved torque, and a new chassis that boosts agility and road clearance,” Williams explained.

Recycled Innovation: The Elohim – Dove:

Siltech also introduced The Elohim-Dove, a groundbreaking heavy-duty logistics vehicle made from recycled materials, including components from end-of-life internal combustion engines, commonly known as Okada or Boda Boda. Williams noted that this recycling effort cuts production costs by 60%. “The E-Dove is proudly manufactured in Nigeria, with 75% of materials like leather, glass, and steel sourced locally,” he said.

The E-Dove features the latest battery swap technology, cold storage capabilities, and a detachable solar-powered roof. “This vehicle will create new business opportunities for urban and rural use with lower capital investment,” Williams added. Siltech’s recycling initiative, based in its newly acquired SiltechWorld Innovation plant, is central to the company’s goal of sustainable production and decarbonizing Africa.

Driving Local Talent:

Siltech’s long-term ambitions extend beyond vehicle production. The company’s Innovation Academy Fund trains young Nigerian engineers, focusing on electric vehicle manufacturing and chassis development. “Rising supply chain costs pushed us to take a different approach, leading to innovations like swappable battery technology and enhanced vehicle performance,” said Siltech’s head of innovation.

Siltech has been a leader in Africa’s electric mobility sector since 2016, covering over 80% of the EV value chain, from battery assembly to vehicle manufacturing and charging infrastructure. “By 2035, we aim to lead the e-mobility ecosystem in Africa,” Williams stated, highlighting the company’s vision to empower Africans with reliable, functional electric vehicles tailored to the continent’s unique conditions.
