International ride-hailing service Yango in partnership with Leasafric Ghana Plc, a leading leasing and logistics company, have successfully added a second batch of vehicles to complete the first phase of 100 fleet car s for Yango partners in Ghana. These vehicles were handed over to the partners at a special handover ceremony in Accra.

We are super excited to join the team at Leasafric to provide a unit economic driven acquisition plan for our fleet partners’’.
Through the partnership, Leasafric procures and makes available to Yango’s partners vehicles which will operate on Yango’s platform. This partnership ties into Yango’s client acquisition and expansion strategy, which involves fleet acquisition for its Ghanaian partners, aimed at ensuring a comfortable and safe travel experience for its customers.
