Ecobank Zambia is shifting into high gear as Prime Sponsor of the 15th Lusaka Motor Show, Zambia’s largest and most anticipated automotive and industrial showcase. In a bold move to accelerate vehicle ownership for Zambians, Ecobank will officially launch its Vehicle Asset Finance product during the show—and will headline one of the event’s most thrilling attractions, now named the Ecobank Test Drive Zone.
Happening from 29th to 31st August 2025 at the Lusaka Polo Club, the 15th Lusaka Motor Show will span more than 20 acres and feature 100+ leading local and international brands. This year promises exciting unveilings, and heart-pounding experiences, none more exciting than the Ecobank Test Drive Zone, where visitors can see, feel, and drive their dream machines before making them their own.
Managing Director of Ecobank Zambia, Ms. Aina Moore, expressed her excitement about the partnership: “The Lusaka Motor Show is the ultimate stage for innovation, opportunity, and ambition—and Ecobank is proud to be in the driver’s seat as a Sponsor. This year, we are not just showcasing cars; we’re breaking down the barriers to vehicle ownership through our Vehicle Asset Finance solution. Whether you are an individual, SME, or corporate, we’re here to help you drive away in your dream vehicle—on terms that work for you.”
The newly launched Vehicle Asset Finance offers competitive interest rates, flexible repayment terms, and financing options for both new and used vehicles—ranging from passenger cars and SUVs to commercial trucks, buses, tractors, and specialised machinery.
Ms. Moore added: “Our goal is to break down the barriers to vehicle ownership. Whether it’s a farmer needing a tractor, a business investing in a delivery fleet, or a family purchasing their first car, Ecobank is here to make it possible. The Lusaka Motor Show is the perfect stage to share this message, connect with customers, and showcase our commitment to financial innovation. And this year, we’ve turned the excitement up a notch. The Ecobank Test Drive Zone will give you the chance to truly experience your dream machine, feel the engine, test the handling, and make sure it is the perfect fit before you drive it home. This is about turning dreams into reality, right here at the show.”
