The Government of Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a supportive environment for automotive companies, including Zonda Tec Ghana Limited, as part of broader efforts to industrialize the economy and boost job creation.

Speaking during a working visit to Zonda Tec’s facilities in Tema, the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Agyare, emphasized that the government is actively reviewing its automotive policy to better accommodate companies like Zonda Tec, whose operations focus on large commercial vehicles currently outside the scope of the existing framework.

“The current auto policy does not cover heavy-duty trucks like those Zonda produces, so we are reviewing the policy to include such vehicles. These adjustments will help encourage greater local production,” the Minister stated.

She also revealed plans to lead a government delegation to China alongside Zonda Tec and other Chinese investors, aimed at attracting further investment into Ghana’s growing automotive and industrial sectors.

“We want to bring more Chinese investors into the country, especially in the automotive and related sectors. What I’ve seen here today is impressive, and I encourage Ghanaians to support and buy made-in-Ghana products,” she added.

Managing Director of Zonda Tec Ghana Limited, Yang Yang, expressed optimism about the company’s prospects in Ghana, noting that Zonda is already benefiting from the current auto policy through its assembly of pickups and SUVs.

“We currently operate three factories and eight branches nationwide, with a workforce of over 500 employees. Ghana offers a very promising business climate. I always say Ghana is like a white sheet—you determine what to write on it. If you bring positive energy, the results will be positive,” she said.

Zonda Tec plans to expand its footprint in Ghana further, contributing to local industrialization and employment opportunities.

The government’s renewed focus on attracting investment, refining policy frameworks, and promoting domestic production forms part of a larger national strategy to position Ghana as a competitive player in Africa’s emerging automotive market.
