Existing vehicles
Cavlom began with a simple observation. Petrol rickshaws are productive assets that owners already depend on. Replacing the whole vehicle is out of reach for most of them. Upgrading the vehicle is not.
About Cavlom
A Canadian circular infrastructure company with operating roots in Nigeria.
Our story
Every transition creates another question.
Electrification
We started converting existing petrol rickshaws into electric vehicles in Nigeria. Fifty vehicles later, about 30 are active and paying, and we operate local conversion and charging infrastructure.
Component access
Working directly with vehicles revealed a broader reality. Every transition creates another question. What happens to the system that was removed? Can the component keep working elsewhere? Can it be rebuilt? Can valuable material be responsibly recovered? Can fragmented supply be documented and connected to demand?
Circular infrastructure
That insight became the foundation of Cavlom's direction. We are building systems to recover, reuse, document and recirculate value from retired mobility and equipment assets, starting in Nigeria and working with partners in Canada.
Mission
To keep productive assets and valuable materials in circulation while creating more resilient supply chains and inclusive economic opportunities.
Vision
A world where emerging markets are active participants in circular supply chains, not merely endpoints for products or sources of unprocessed waste.
Principles
How we work.
Local value first
Preserve reuse, repair and rebuilding opportunities within the communities where assets originate.
Evidence before expansion
Build new material pathways from measured data and verified demand.
Responsible recovery
Work with qualified partners and appropriate environmental and trade practices.
Traceability
Improve visibility from asset recovery through processing and commercial delivery.
Inclusive growth
Create opportunities for local operators, technicians, workshops and supply-chain partners.
