According to him, “As part of government industrialisation policy to create employment for our youth, we are ready to facilitate the production and assembling of vehicles in Ghana and already some players in the automobile industry have shown interest.”

Mr Titus-Glover explained that the introduction of the new models at this time of Ghana’s economic transformation demonstrated the confidence that the company had in the Ghanaian economy.

The President of Ashok Leyland, Mr Seth Nitin, said the new models were designed and developed to meet the expectations of customers and add value to their business.

He said Ashok Leyland having existed in Africa for more than two decades, had a good knowledge of the terrain and the quality of vehicles suitable for it, adding “our partnership with Rana Motors makes it possible to provide spare parts, training services by experienced engineers and after sales services to our customers”.

Mr Nitin accepted the suggestion to set up an assembly plant in Ghana and noted that visibility studies would be conducted to see how it could be implemented.

Chief Operating Officer of Rana Motors, Kaseem Odaymat, said the new models were targeted at filling the gap in the haulage and transportation of goods and persons.

He assured of their affordability, high performance, reliability and good after sales support.

“Our facilities in Tema, Spintex, Accra, Takoradi and Kumasi will enable us to keep the down time of vehicles at the lowest time and be your worthy partner in running your business,” he added.
