Ghana's New Car: First locally made car being manufactured 

@ZionHillCalling we shall see, technology should be deployed with caution. Banks across the globe laid off workers as a result of technology (automated systems).

And only 3 cars made 😂

@@mihadalzayat6957 this is relatively new start-up company, even if they make one car per day is all okay.

Hahahahahahaha! Let's hope no one puts you in charge of a modern economy!

Meaning more expenses and more expensive car.

true talk brother ✌

Frederick Dorsey okay bro I will see what I can do, Thanks.

+Frederick Dorsey the ones that tanked detroit?

+ Fabo Lous its manufactured in china,assembled in ghana

gino manshit no, everything in Ghana.

Made in china

Kaan Erdem yes, it is a nice Chinese product assembled in Ghana

Kaan Erdem Men have tried. For hundreds of years. And failed at every single attempt to develop countries within Africa. For some reason they're "asked" to leave, forceably? One would think that since Africa is the birthplace of all mankind. The countries that make up the continent would be more advanced and developed? WTH happened?

@ GARRET LEWISCHINESE MADE BEING...GOO FOR UR PILLS

John Perdue Develop or undevelop? Great Benin... was destroyed by the British. Kongo Kingdom... was destroyed by the Portuguese. The Swahili Coasts... were destroyed by the Portuguese. Napata... was destroyed by the Romans. Abyssinia... was destroyed by the Italians. See a trend?

John Perdue Europeans destroyed it

@ZionHillCalling But African products will have tough competition in Asia and Europe

@@blackflagsofpakistantheeas9109 They should compete in Africa and encourage Africans yo support each others

Black Flags of Pakistan the East no one in europe or america will even buy “african” assembled cars

@Moskat Kanze assembly plant for china made(Indian owned) substandard phones.

@@bryanzecchin9380 oh yes, they do. Many cars manufactured in South Africa, exported all over the world. Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes, BMW, etc, etc. Not sure where you live, you might just be driving a South African manufactured car.

well this is made in china so..............

gino manshit well then I guess we need to step up some more. Total independence.

gino manshit it is made in Ghana,y say what you dont know

Nah. Ghanaians should build more domestic brands but African's should still buy asian and European cars

Heavenly Beautifully Black I hope it goes that direction but I doubt the Africa as a whole will begin replacing foreign car brands.

dhare07 if you ever somehow manage to get them into the U.S. let me know haha

rise up? what?

Why not just live there?

Go back to your people

Move back to your home,why stay in america

The government should atleast provide a "stipend" of sorts for the home grown company to spur its growth but $14k-$20k is steep for a new car. They need to target the cheap cheap market like $10k but what do I know about making new cars?

Fabo Lous They look like Ford cars

Fabo Lous: this should be in the rest of Africa too.

Use your vote. Ask your MP if he's going to address this on the floor and will pressure gov to buy the local autos!

@@MichaelSmith-um2uv That is probably the biggest issue with his business model, very few of us Ghanaians can afford luxury cars, we mostly prefer commercial vehicles like the tricycle variants, mini vans and motor cycles. If he makes those, we will all jump on board.

Exactly!!!!

😂 So it is tht way

Even the big car manufacturers have to import parts from other countries. To be honest no new company will be able to manufacture everything from scratch

@@jzigi seems like you are a dumbass

@@zhbvenkhoReload Seems like YOU ARE THE DUMBASS

Darth Daddy no wonder GM stands for “Great Mistake”😄

Ghanian Motors should make them a “reasonable offer”

Which is just a Chinese ckd-kit.

There has been North African cars before such as Laraki which is moroccan, I don’t know about the rest of Africa tho

@Chris P Bacon PAN and Volkswagen Nigeria did that since the 70s ... how did that work out?

Kiira was made in uganda 🇺🇬

ajay.f : Yes, they assemble Chinese CKDs

🇬🇭❤️🇸🇴

AF's Aviation the STAR ⭐️ is for the 5star continent

Those cars realy look nice and modern! Greetings from Montenegro ( Europe).

Deon Van der Westhuizen Most people dont know this fact....

NO WONDER THERE IS WEST ATTACHED TO UR NAME...........WHITE MAMMAL

CKD stands for Completely Knocked Down. The term has its origin in the automotive industry and refers to a form of production of vehicles. The car manufacturer exports a not-assembled vehicle in the form of individual parts that is assembled into a finished vehicle in the respective country of import and sold there. Because I am a mammal, I understand the economics of CKD. So I enlightened you. I was not emotional about it like my fellow Africans. Here in South Africa we have been using CKD's for over eighty years. We even export CKD's. Nothing to be ashamed off. Nothing to get aggressive about. Nothing to shout about. The Foday is already a cheap knock off of Mitsubishi vehicles. Or don't you know?

Deon Van der Westhuizen we are white, what do we know, after all we are the racist bigoted etc etc ones.

Mark Twain said: “Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Never try to teach a pig so sing, you are wasting your time, and you are annoying the pig. Maybe it is time for the West to recognize all the African inventions and pay compensation to Africa for all these inventions. I am starting a list right now. Don't wait up.

501 years probably

Abe Rum dominate? e 😂 China will buy whole africa in 2 years 😂😂😂

Dominante what? Rofl

Haha that's never going to happen :)

Only in your dreams lol..

Samuel Tadesse it’s 100 % Europe’s tech, China paid a fortune to the BMW i3 tech guys, to fly to China and make their electric ⚡️ cars. Europeans are simply the best

Aviation News and Analysis No duh!! Many countries start out doing CKD. It is a start. When the company gets the supply chain and management and technical expertise then they can manufacture more parts locally.

Aviation News and Analysis obviously, because i have seen the double cab model is assembled in indonesia, and probably india, and others then rebadged as local manufacturer, in Indonesia its used as political "weapon" as well

Agree....looks like a proxy corporation

Aviation News and Analysis that's actually what it is. Chinese CKD'S. but don't forget, Tesla got their start building a sports car on a Lotus Chassis, and look at them now

That's Tesla and this is Ghana . Open your eyes

Will Taji the funny thing is that mr kantaka drivers bmw, Mercedes-Benz ect not even his own kantaka cars in Ghana that why some people don't really support him.

Nadia Bello i mean theres nothing wrong with appreciating foreign engineering but i get what you're saying.we dont specifically have to buy his brand but when various brands start popin out in africa we should put them in considerstion too when choosing a car.

Will Taji I agree👏

What do you mean, South Africa already made their own cars back in the 60s and Ford implanted a factory there before WWII

David Basset Christian preachers in Africa most of them are scams they are the richest while the rest are starving lock of food

They are also rather good at convincing people that Chinese cars are Made in Ghana.

David Basset It always have been like that look at ancient Europe.

right , lets stare at the hole in the giant donut.

How do you know he is a preacher? It is not only on the African continent that preachers are scammers, though.

Ebenezer Appiah amen and amen

But these are just rebranded chinese cars

@@grainherstal1912 still locally made by Ghanaians

Gerard O'Brian again, who cares lol.

We aren't Wakandans.

You realize they just assemble them in Ghana. These cars are produced in China and have been driving on Chinese roads under different brand names for years.

​​@@OberkommandoEnvy will kill yah 😂

@@emmanuelokine7430 envying what? That they are buying whole Chinese cars, assembling some parts in Ghana, and then scamming people by making them think that these cars were produced in Ghana?

@@Oberkommando what proof do u have ??

@@emmanuelokine7430 RU-vid does not allow links, so just Google “Jalopnik The Living Apostle Who Sold The Media On The Myth Of ‘Ghana’s First Car'” It’s literally just a container full of pre manufactured parts that this guy bought of Alibaba, and then he only makes some final assembly, slaps on a new badge and then tries to scam people by making it seem as if he produced the car. Also I’m shocked by your lack of critical thinking. Like where in the video do they show any plastic injection molding machines? Where do they show heavy steel presses needed to form the car parts? Where do they show robots needed to hoist heavy parts into place? There is literally not a single piece of heavy machinery anywhere in this “factory”. It is literally just a simple frugal assembly plant. So how exactly did you even think in the first place that he was manufacturing anything there, instead of just making the final assembly of pre produced Alibaba cars.

marty mart how? They don't even make this car apparently.

yes they do

Doubt it'd pass our safety requirements. I would be interested to know how well an African car company could sell here for though tbh

I imagine that it would run here (USA), if it ran there. If it has a seatbelt, were're good.

All black lives matter people must drive this car

@@cpufreak101 It definitely will

bill tev Why would they want to leave their home country and family and move another continent? Because of skin colour? That's racist!

Nonsense! why would African American homecoming be racist?

Why would you write that you should recruit African Americans, why specify race? Making decisions because of race is racist! Do you only want them and not whites? Why us and not others?

You are very shallow!

Salpeteroxid, Because it's "Our Time" NOT yours... That's Why...

That’s right, like child soldiers, aids, and Ebola

Richard Teh that's Truth and keep it Up. Peace from the U.S.A

Richard Teh more like United States should distance themselves from them Africans and stop sending the aid money, let them feed their own with the sales of those cars🖒🇺🇸

B- trucker since when United snake give free money they take 100 from you and give you back 10 cent and you called this given by the America regime

B- trucker African countries has the richest natural resources in the world it's was the United snake who steal from them

@@b-trucker7717 Aid is probably what's killing us here, because with aid always comes a clause, such as, no employment in the public sector for the next decade, so we have to retain pensioners while fresh graduates have to find alternate means. It might be hard for you to believe, but the aid your country sends us is just to impose rules on us to enrich business men in your country.
