Less than two months after the conclusion of the 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE), the Ghana Automobile Industry Base and New Energy Travel Network Construction Project signed during the event is in full swing. Hunan's new energy vehicles and special-purpose vehicles are increasingly making their way into Africa.

To further advance the implementation of the project facilitating Changsha-made new energy vehicles' entry into Ghana, Mr. Annan, chairman of the Ghana-China Economy and Investment Co., Ltd., visited the Changsha Seetoone International Trade Co., Ltd. (Seetoone) in Changsha County recently. During the visit, Mr. Annan observed the company's production processes and quality management systems that align with international standards, and exchanged views on the implementation of an online ride-hailing electric vehicle project in Ghana.

According to the agreement signed at the 4th CAETE, Seetoone, a leading exporter of new energy and special vehicles in Hunan, will engage in strategic cooperation with the Ghana-China Economy and Investment Co., Ltd. over the next five years. The two sides will invest 100 million USD in the capital of Ghana to build infrastructure covering automobile trade, assembly production, ride-hailing operations, and charging stations, creating an automotive ecosystem project and industrial chain. Seetoone will be responsible for global automobile procurement, technical equipment support, and the sharing of operational management expertise; while the Ghana-China Economy and Investment Co., Ltd. will leverage local resources to handle market promotion and localized operations. Through a joint venture, the two sides will collaborate to drive the upgrading of Ghana's automotive industry and the development of its new energy travel network.
