About Mobius Motors
Mobius designs, manufactures and sells vehicles built specifically for the African mass market. Mobius II was conceived by reimagining the vehicle around the needs of the African consumer – common road terrain, typical vehicle loading and average income levels were important factors in the development of the vehicle. The result: an SUV with the durability required to handle rural roads, sold at the price of a used sedan. We are headquartered in Nairobi, one of Africa’s most dynamic cities. Here, we want to build a team of highly motivated, ambitious and talented individuals with a passion for the automotive industry and a dedication to creating an exceptional customer experience. We are constantly looking for outstanding candidates who share our vision and want to join us in disrupting the African vehicle market.
