Ghana made cars are going global and we are here for that!

A little birdie told us the exciting news that Kantanka Automobile, Ghana’s own car manufacturing company, has shipped one of its cars to Norway. 

Now for this exciting news, we knew we first had to confirm it before we go blabbing about it like we’re doing now…

So we hit up the CEO of Kantanka Automobile, Kwadwo Safo Kantanka JNR to confirm or deny the story.

Well… it is true and according to Kwadwo Safo JNR, the sale went through months ago.

He said “a Kantanka Mensah has been shipped to Norway” for a client who lives in the European country.

When we asked who in Norway had purchased the Made In Ghana vehicle, the CEO did not disclose the identity of the individual but said the client is a high profile person Norway.

Well, before we went to confirm this story, the little birdie had told us that it was the Finance Minister of Norway, Siv Jensen, 50, who had purchased the GHS 130,000 vehicle.

We cannot independently confirm that Siv is the high profile client Kwadwo Safo JNR mentioned to Kuulpeeps.com in our exclusive interview, however, the fact still remains that, Ghana has also started exporting vehicles.. which if you ask us… is a good thing.

The Kantanka Mensah that was shipped to Norway is an automatic salon car which has 4866mm long body and 2775mm long wheelbase. It has an inductive ease open trunk with trunk size 510 L large. The car offers a 2.4cc engine size with a four-wheel independent suspension system.

We’re quite sure that, he/she will enjoy their commute in the Kantanka Mensah.

Kantanka Automobile Company Limited, the only indigenous automobile manufacturing and assembling company in Ghana owned by one of the most popular inventor, innovator and philanthropic personality in Ghana, Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka has performed its first ever expatriate auto service in Liberia.

The automobile company, which is in history as the nation’s first ever privately owned indigenous company is been doing so well according to insider information at their Gomoa-Mpota Assembly Plant. The company has so far shipped two vehicles outside the country.

The automobile company which was founded by Apostle Dr. Ing Kwadwo Safo Kantanka in 2004 and commenced operations in November 2015 had previously been facing challenges sprouting from the both current and past governments as the country has not officially formulated an Automobile Policy to govern the activities of the industry.

The company despite its challenges had been able to sell two of its Kantanka Mensah model to a customer in Norway and the Ex President of Liberia, Mrs Ellen Johnson in 2018. Over the weekend rumors gathered by oilcitytoday crew depicted that the Ex President of Liberia, Mrs Ellen Johnson’sKantanka Mensah bought in 2018 was due for Servicing. So the company flew two of its engineers to service the vehicle in Liberia since the company has not setup a Servicing Centre in the country yet.

The General Manager of the company believes that the plans are underway to setup Auto Service centresin all the country’s where it cars has been sold to. Mr. Francis Kodjo Kudorji told ​oilcitytodaynews crew that the company is currently in dialogue with the government as the government prepares to roll out official Automobile Policy Guidelines to steer the affairs of all the incoming Automobile manufacturers in the country.

So the company is currently on hold with a lot of its operations and soon the company will also be manufacturing taxi-like cars and electric cars as well.
