It is no doubt that Sierra Leone and Most African countries are depending on imported vehicles from international company outside of Africa which have led to the increase in cost of vehicles, with the high demand of vehicle’s in Africa to support business transportation, this have led many company to spend 1/3 of their money out of the country to purchase this machines with a high expenditure to maintain or repair them, some of this machines are not suitable for our system in Africa.
