The Kantanka Automobile Company Limited, manufacturers of on-road and off-road vehicles that meet the challenging nature of the Ghanaian and African terrain has hinted of manufacturing electrical cars by end of year 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the indigenous car maker, Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Junior says the move is to further prove to Ghanaians and the world that they are capable to stand the innovation competition on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat Wednesday, Mr. Safo said the company is expanding to other parts of the world with a new office in Dubai.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end of this year, Kantanka will build electric cars that could travel between Accra to Kumasi before recharge. We intend to do that before this year ends.<\/p>\n

“Our company is fast-growing and currently we have another headquarters at Dubai and the challenge there is healthy for us because they understand luxury and that is good for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kantanka Automobile Company Limited is a subsidiary of the Kantanka Group of Companies founded by Kwadwo Sarfo Kantanka, the founder and leader of Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana.<\/p>\n

The company was later incorporated as a limited liability company in 2001 with the main objective to research into the manufacturing of automotive components and their combination with other parts outsourced from component suppliers to form a complete built unit.<\/p>\n

Kantanka vehicles are assembled in Ghana from CKD (Complete Knock Down) kits supplied by a Chinese firm, possible Foday through Chongqing Big Science & Technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
