Grace Mobility Ghana has launched five new ZNA vehicles, introducing a range of rugged pick-ups and a modern SUV tailored for the country’s diverse commercial and family needs.

The unveiling underscores a significant push toward sustainable mobility, highlighted by the introduction of a fully electric pick-up model.

Subhi Accad, Chief Executive Officer of the company, in an interview with media, said the launch was more than just the introduction of new models. “Our top priority is the transition to sustainable mobility, including electric vehicles that promote cleaner energy and healthier communities,” Accad stated, emphasising that this commitment is a duty to the environment, public health and the next generation.

The event also served as a platform for the company to announce its plan to establish a local assembly plant – a move aimed at creating jobs and advancing the nation’s industrial capabilities.

“Grace Mobility Ghana, together with Grace Investments, is laying the groundwork to establish a local assembly plant. This facility will be dedicated to building ZNA pick-up models, a move set to create jobs, support industrialisation and produce ‘Made in Ghana’ vehicles for both domestic and international markets,” he revealed.

The new lineup includes five distinct models, each with unique specifications.
