In 2007, the first batch of 36 units Yutong luxury intercity buses were exported to Ghana. After being put into operation, the good performance and stylish appearance of these buses, together with the sound after-sales service, have brought huge influence to local users, media and related government bodies. Yutong’s bus mass export to Ghana has been triggered since then through the common efforts with the local partners.

The key to the success in Ghanaian market are contributed to the following two aspects:

1）  Well-established service & spare parts network

1.1  Together with our partners, Yutong has set up three large-scaled service centers in Ghana, seven class-1 service stations and twenty class-2 service stations;

1.2  Together with our partners, Yutong established a spare parts warehouse in Accra, capital city of Ghana, supplying parts to different areas in Ghana and western African countries.
 

2）  Benefit the local people and communities

2.1  Yutong and its dealers in Ghana pay great attention to the training of local drivers and maintenance staff. A total of nearly 2,000 bus drivers have been trained free of charge in local areas, while nearly 200 maintenance staff in total have been trained in Zhengzhou of China, headquarter of Yutong. Meanwhile, more than 2,200 workplaces were created in the passenger transport sector of Ghana;

2.2 With the good performance of Yutong buses, the poor situation of passenger transport consisting of antiquated second-handed buses has been greatly improved. The Ghanaian people can enjoy a safer and more comfortable riding environment than before;

2.3 Yutong buses are favored in Ghana with the good performance and sound after-sales service. Up to now, Yutong has become a household name of buses in Ghana, greatly improving the image of “made in China” in the minds of Ghanaian people.
