Kantanka Group of companies, the Ghanaian automobile-manufacturing company will begin the production of electronic tricycles, commonly known in Ghana as ‘Aboboyaa’, by the middle of this year, a company official has revealed.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the group, Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jnr, made the company’s intentions of manufacturing the three-tyred vehicles known in a media interview.
He said the decision to go electronic was to beat other competitor automobile-manufacturing brands in Ghana and also gauge how consumers would be open to accepting new brands and designs.
“By mid 2020, we are even going to do ‘Aboboyaa’, a three-tyre vehicle which will be electric,” he disclosed.
