President John Dramani Mahama has called on Zonda Tech Ghana Limited to increase local production of vehicle components, aiming to strengthen Ghana’s automotive industry. During a visit to the company’s facility on September 15, 2026, Mahama emphasized the need for deeper value addition within the sector. His remarks came as Zonda Tech expands its operations with the completion of Phase Three of its vehicle assembly plant.
In parallel, Mahama proposed a salary-based vehicle financing plan to support Ghanaian workers in purchasing locally assembled cars. This initiative aims to boost demand for Zonda Tech’s products while promoting domestic manufacturing. The plan reflects broader government efforts to reduce reliance on imported vehicles and stimulate economic growth through local industry.
The government’s push for local production aligns with national strategies to diversify the economy and create jobs. Zonda Tech’s expansion is seen as a key step in this direction, with potential to increase employment and reduce trade deficits. As the company continues to scale, the success of these initiatives will depend on both policy support and market demand.
