Afro-Arab Drive Green expands EV fleet to boost jobs through energy transition
Afro-Arab Drive Green has expanded its electric vehicle (EV) fleet to 100 in the national capital, Accra, as it advances its youth empowerment initiative aimed at supporting Ghana’s transition to cleaner transportation while creating sustainable employment opportunities.
Afro-Arab Drive Green has added 50 more electric vehicles (EVs) to its fleet in Ghana's capital, Accra, as part of a youth empowerment program aimed at transitioning Ghana's transportation to cleaner options while generating sustainable jobs. The initiative, launched by Afro-Arab in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, has delivered a total of 100 EVs so far, falling short of the 1,000-goal.
The Changan E-Star was introduced last Friday, signaling progress towards giving young people access to electric vehicles to serve as drivers, owners, and entrepreneurs. The program aims to harness the energy transition for new economic prospects, especially in the burgeoning electric mobility field. Afro-Arab's CEO, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, pledged that the program will create over 2,000 jobs for the youth, spanning driving, vehicle ownership, and various EV-related services like maintenance and charging infrastructure.
Ambassador Alhaji emphasized that while the program is being introduced incrementally, the main objective remains reaching the 1,000-EV target. With more vehicles on the way, Afro-Arab Drive Green remains committed to extending electric mobility access and ensuring young people capitalize on the economic opportunities arising from Ghana's energy transition.
