The CEO of Hubtel, Alex Bram, has made history as he became the first customer to drive a Volkswagen (VW) car assembled in Ghana.

In a post on social media, the lead of the overall development and execution of Hubtel’s long term strategy expressed his excitement about being the first client to acquire a Ghanaian VW car.

President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana unveiled the first VW vehicle assembled in the country. The VW factory was the result of a meeting between himself and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She visited Ghana in 2018.

“She visited at my invitation and in our discussion, an agreement was raised between government and Volskwagen and its Ghanaian partner, Universal Motors Limited for the assembling and ultimately the production of VW vehicles in the country,” President Akufo-Addo said.

In his recent post on social media, Bram wrote: ''Proud to have been the very first customer to drive out a Ghana-assembled VW car. The car itself is completely world-class.''

Ghana's Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, congratulated Alex Bram as he retweeted frames of the posh VW whip.
