Celebrating our culture and heritage

Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment.

Despite their cultural differences, indigenous people from around the world share, common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples.

In order to raise awareness of the needs of these population groups, every 9 August commemorates the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, chosen in recognition of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations held in Geneva in 1982.

On Indigenous Peoples Day, we praise the historical backdrop of our progenitors and their way of life and perceive that their commitments run profoundly through our country.

If not for them, we would have never understood the real culture of our land.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

How CNG/hybrid cars can save you money...and the environment

In a time when inflation and climate change are major topics both locally and around the world, now more than ever, we need to pay more attention to our spending habits and how our activities can impact the environment. 

Switching to a vehicle that runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or a hybrid can actually allow you to save money AND reduce your carbon footprint. 

Here's how:

• CNG is more economical: compared to super and diesel gasoline, CNG is 80% cheaper, which means you’ll be saving more than three-quarters of your usual fuel budget

• CNG is more efficient: CNG is compressed so that enough fuel can be stored in your vehicle to extend the driving range

• CNG is greener: Other than money, the ultimate benefit of owning a CNG vehicle is to our environment. Since CNG burns cleaner, it leaves no harmful elements behind

• Hybrid vehicles are also environmentally friendly: These vehicles have lower fuel consumption than conventional cars, meaning fewer emissions. This makes them greener, cleaner, and better for the environment when driven efficiently

• Hybrid vehicles recharge as you drive: Hybrids have regenerative braking, which means the battery recharges as you drive. This means that you don’t have to worry about stopping to charge it up on longer journeys

• No taxes on hybrid vehicles: In May, the Government announced that all taxes (customs duty, motor vehicle tax, and value-added tax) will be waived on passenger hybrid motor cars for private use with an engine size not exceeding 1,599 cc and an electric motor output not exceeding 105 KW

With all of these major benefits, the only question is what will you do with all of your savings?

Our CNG/Hybrid Loan can give you access to all these benefits and more including 100% financing.

This offer is valid throughout August and September 2022.
