Kantanka Vehicles Are Standard – Ghana Standard Authority

In the recent press conference organised by the Kantanka Automobile Company it was announced that by the close of 2014 the company would begin with the commercialisation of Kantanka sports utility vehicles and pickups.

Over the years the company has been manually manufacturing series of vehicles from electric cars to vehicles that are started with gold watch.​

This manually manufacturing process made it difficult for the company to produce the vehicles on commercial scale but the installation of the Kantanka Assembly Plant which is as sophisticated as any assembly plant in the world have paved way for mass production to commence.​

Speaking to the media, the company confirmed that it would increase begin with the manufacturing of 80 to 200 cars monthly and would increase the numbers to meet the growing demand.​

It also came to light that the Ghana Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (formerly called Vehicle & Licencing Division, a semi-autonomous public sector organization ​under the Ministry of Transportation established by Act of 1999) as well as the Ghana Standard Authority have been visiting the manufacturing site of the company and have given them the green light. 

​The media also found out the Authority upholds that the previous Kantanka Vehicles that were manually manufactured were all up to standard. The issuance of certificates by the Authority to the company confirms the whole story.
