The Automobile Assemblers Association of Ghana has officially launched the second edition of the Ghana Automotive Summit 2025, with a strong focus on showcasing locally assembled vehicles, and promoting policy dialogue to accelerate the sector’s growth.

Held under the theme “The Future of the Automotive Industry,” this year’s summit is positioned as a platform to deepen industry collaboration, raise awareness about the quality of locally manufactured vehicles, and stimulate demand among Ghanaian consumers.

Speaking at the media launch in Accra, President of the Association, Jeffrey Oppong Peprah, stressed the economic and developmental benefits of supporting made-in-Ghana vehicles.

“There’s going to be exhibitions of vehicles that we've been assembling in Ghana to showcase the good work that we are doing — to let the public know that the vehicles produced locally are no different from what we look up to abroad,” Mr. Peprah said.

“You save a lot of time, you save a lot of money when you buy locally. You also contribute to the growth of Ghana. That’s why we say: Drive Local, Drive Made-in-Ghana.”

Mr. Peprah also underscored the importance of vehicle asset financing in increasing ownership levels, noting that accessible and affordable financing solutions are key to expanding the consumer base for locally assembled cars.

The Ghana Automotive Summit 2025 is slated for June 3, 2024, at the Grand Arena in Accra. It will feature exhibitions from leading brands including Toyota, Nissan, and Volkswagen, among others. The event is open to the general public, automobile enthusiasts, policy stakeholders, and industry professionals.
