Did you Know?
CFAO Mobility brought something truly groundbreaking to Zambia—the Toyota Prius Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). This was not just any car; it was our first official HEV, serving as a crucial test vehicle and pioneering hybrid technology on Zambian roads. With 126,000 miles clocked over 12 years, this Prius has been more than just a vehicle—it’s been a trailblazer.
For a decade, this Prius served as our demonstration and test vehicle, showcasing the potential of hybrid technology in a Zambia where fuel emissions were a growing concern. Today, it continues to play a vital role at the CFAO Mobility Training Centre. Here, our staff gain invaluable experience with hybrid technology by studying the inner workings of this pioneering vehicle.
We are excited to share that this historic Prius is on display at this year’s 96th Agricultural and Commercial Show, running from July 31st to August 5th, 2024. We invite our customers and showgoers to witness where it all began. This is a unique opportunity to see how CFAO Mobility first took the bold step toward reducing fuel emissions back in 2012.
The main reason for showcasing it at an event that receives more than 200,000 showgoers is to encourage everyone to explore the difference between this pioneering Prius and the cutting-edge Toyota RAV4 and Corolla Cross Hybrid Electric Vehicles that are leading the charge today. We hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to enlightening you more on the highlights after the show ends on August 5th, 2024.
