I'm not from Ghana but I'm certainly happy for them , this is what us Africans need to do more of. Creating our own and producing our own. This is great to see
@ZionHillCalling we shall see, technology should be deployed with caution. Banks across the globe laid off workers as a result of technology (automated systems).
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?
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?
@@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.
As an American Christian I like to see this. Blessings to Ghana, Ghanaians are good people, very friendly and down to earth. I hope it all goes well and I hope to buy one some day (piece of automotive history).
yessssss!!! about time. Africa make your own cars and keep the money in the continent. I'm excited!! No more European and Asian cars. Starting somewhere.
I'm expecting the government of our motherland Ghana to stop buying vehicle from outside and buy in the locally manufacturing vehicles of the kantanka motors.
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?
@@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.
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
Good job Ghana. Whether manual or robotic assembly, testing is integral part of manufacturing, every part assembled should immediately be tested for established gold standard precisions (six sigma) and then repeat the test at module level and complete vehicle (system test), not sure if they are doing it but the video doesn't show it
Fantastic stuff very pleasing to see this happening hope it all goes so well for you ,just dont let the big boys in the industry try and hassle you ! cheers and good luck to you all !!
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?
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.
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
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
Even I'm not from Ghana I'm so happy to see how Africans countries started to create cars too I hope the whole technology will be in whole Africa so happy
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
That's excellent. Hope it grows very much and goes international. Here in India automobile industry is strong because of the support from the locals. This is the type of mindset Africans need.
Africa has all the resources it needs to build cars (Raw materials, People and Knowledge) I would love to see Africa exporting cars to other countries all over the Globe before I die.
Fellow Africans lets support our african brands regardless of country or political views.we need our money to circulate in mama Africa to strengthen our economies.
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.
My fellow Africans let's support our very own Kantanka automobile to grow with us by purchasing the Ghanaian locally made cars. It is as efficient, elegant, durable and affordable as the other known brands...together we can; yes we can so help us God.
Why is it that preachers/pastors/ministers/reverends are the richest people in many African nations? Since they are the ones with the money, it makes perfect sense that they can afford to start expensive business like this one. If the company succeeds, he is a billionaire. If the company fails, go back to preaching and be a millionaire again. This is very disturbing.
waw Great Ghana made fantastic action, but we africans should respect our local production and encourage Ghana made cars, why not we respect each other, support your local markets so that you become stronger than you are now, buy and sell your local commodities, never mistrust each other, change your black skins to white hearts
Unfortunately, the reason Kantanka Cars is able to offer world-class vehicles is simple: It gets just about everything shipped over from a Chinese automaker. The Kantanka vehicles supposedly designed for Ghana's local conditions are, in fact, indistinguishable from ones that have been on sale in China for years.
Please please please Ghanaians let's help build a better Ghana by using locally manufacturing machine's like the kantanka products pleaseee!
true talk brother ✌
Frederick Dorsey okay bro I will see what I can do, Thanks.

Made in china
I feel SO proud of Ghana and I'm not even Ghanaian! GO GHANA!!
No robotic arms used in the factory, meaning more jobs created!
@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.

Wow... Props to Ghana, to founders, to workers... Setting a standard in Africa... A salute from Zimbabwe...
im proud of these men who try todo something and honestly ive liked the final products.
Kaan Erdem yes, it is a nice Chinese product assembled in Ghana
Kaan Erdem
Men have tried.
For hundreds of years.

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.

Congratulations Ghanaians, those cars look really great. Love from India xx
Am from the US and honestly id give one a try. They look pretty solid! I'd prefer that red sedan over the pick up truck but still very nice looking 👍
Very very very proud... I live in South West Africa even though I feel represented... God bless you Ghana

I’m 100% sure this brand is not worse than any GM product , bravo Ghana

Ghanian Motors should make them a “reasonable offer”
Power to Ghana!!! Love from Singapore
This is the way to go lets change Africa's narrative well done Ghana well done Kantanka
Chinese CKD assembled car ... like Innoson in Nigeria.
@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
These are just Chinese vehicles that comes as ‘CKD’ kits (completely knock down)
And are assembles in Ghana. No manufacturing here, just
Assembly.
Exactly!!!!
😂 So it is tht way

The rest of the world: self driving cars

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

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

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
