Three motor cars made by Excel Motors Island Cruisers being escorted to the Montego Bay Cruise Ship Terminal by police for the official export ceremony on Friday, ahead of being exported to the Turks and Caicos Islands. They represent the first of 30 cars scheduled for export by the firm over the next few months.

Jamaica’s Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Karl Samuda, has praised Patrick Marzouca, the chief executive officer (CEO) of local firm Excel Motors Island Cruisers, for his firm's success in manufacturing and exporting motorcars to the Turks and Caicos Islands.



Speaking at the export ceremony at the Montego Bay Cruise Ship Terminal on Friday, Samuda congratulated Marzouca and endorsed his resilience and determination, which made the project a success.



&quot;The idea of a car manufacturing project was not a pipe-dream, but a reality and now to see that he has persevered against all the odds; with all these trials and tribulations, he has been able to obtain an order for the production of these vehicles. I want to commend you for your effort, Patrick, and I want to congratulate you for your sense of resilience and your determination to succeed,&quot; Samuda said.

Re: Jamaica Car manufacturer ships first batch.

The idea of a Jamaican manufactured car has been around for many years. This is indeed great news and for that, the pioneering group is to be commended.. It's a testament to the determination, spirit of innovation and enterprise that reside within our people.. Good Luck to Marzouca et al in this endeavour..

I hope they can expand their market. If they prove successful it could indeed be the beginning of something huge for JA.

Pray they don't move production to China!!!

Thanks for the update RichD.. Apparently, they weren't sitting still all this time. We can only hope that in due course they will be able to export some to the Caricom nations...
