The state-of-the-art facility is capable of producing more than 35,000 vehicles per year and will almost double Ghana’s local manufacturing capacity

Rana motors has invested several millions of dollars in setting up the factory and It hopes to take advantage of the skilled workforce, tax benefits and Ghana’s fast-growing demand for reliable new vehicles.

The new plant will not only allow Kia to try and acquire a greater market share in Ghana, it will also give it access to the rest of West Africa.

Used car imports dwarf the country’s domestic manufacturing, which produces only 6,550 vehicles per year. 

The United States (US) International Trade Association (ITA) estimates that Ghana imports around 100,000 vehicles, around 90% of which are used vehicles from Japan, Europe, and the US.

Kia is the fourth largest global vehicle manufacturer. 

The company joins other global car brands including Toyota, Suzuki, Nissan, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Sinotruck among others who have already established assembly plants in the country.
