About I.A.T.                    

The Institute for Affordable Transportation (IAT) is a not-for-profit public charity devoted to developing high-quality, low-cost transportation for the working poor in the developing world.  IAT is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA and funded by individuals, foundations, churches, and the international corporations.  

We have a simple vision:   Basic Vehicles.  Changed Lives. 

Headquartered in the motor-racing capital of the world, IAT is positioned to leverage first world resources toward the development of a "Car for Humanity".  The Basic Utility Vehicle (BUV) is a vehicle for change.  Its purpose is to help meet peoples' everyday needs at the ends of the earth.  More than cars, we are building people, opportunity, and freedom. 

IAT aims to help Americans love and serve the isolated poor in a practical way.  By enabling a hardy & simple vehicle to be manufactured throughout Africa, you can lend a compassionate hand to the poor and provide a tool which bestows economic opportunity and the dignity of work.

We welcome your suggestions on the rugged, adventurous ride.

Respectfully,

the BUV will go:

...where the streets have no name

...where unpaved road ends

...where the people need hope
