A video showing how the Kantanka Boafo, popularly known in Ghana as the Aboboyaa, is assembled has drawn attention online.

The footage gave viewers a rare look inside the production process, showing the vehicle gradually taking shape from its basic frame to the finished product.

The process began with workers attending to the bare metal chassis, which serves as the foundation of the vehicle. Different mechanical components were then fitted onto the frame as the assembly progressed.

Parts of the suspension system could also be seen being installed, together with the large tyres that give the vehicle its distinctive appearance.

The front section, protective framework and other body parts were carefully fitted before attention moved to the passenger and cargo areas.

The Boafo was later seen with its red cargo bed installed at the rear, complete with metal rails designed to help carry goods.

Workers also fitted the windscreen, roof, side mirrors and other finishing components around the driver's section.

The video highlighted the amount of hands-on work involved in putting the vehicle together, with several technicians working on different sections during the assembly process.

Towards the end of the footage, the completed Kantanka Boafo looked completely different from the bare chassis shown at the beginning.

Its headlights and additional front lights were switched on before the vehicle was driven inside the facility, showing it in working condition after assembly.

The transformation from the exposed frame to the completed three-wheeled commercial vehicle offered viewers a closer look at how the locally assembled machine is produced.
