CFAO Mobility has just staged one of the boldest and most dynamic multi-country launches for one of the world's highly awaited pickup trucks, the Mitsubishi L200.
Starting from Côte d'Ivoire and making its way through Ghana, Togo, Benin, and finally arriving in Nigeria, the Mitsubishi L200 pickup has captivated audiences across West Africa. The journey wasn't just about showcasing the impressive capability of this vehicle but also making some positive environmental and social impact along the way.
The Mitsubishi L200, a powerhouse of innovation and engineering, embarked on this remarkable journey to demonstrate its prowess across different terrains and climates in five different markets.
At each location, customers were able to witness the robust pickup in action via live events and test-driving experiences meant to give them a firsthand sense for its excellent performance.
CFAO did more than just showcase their new vehicle; they gave the caravan a unique twist by incorporating an impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The L200 caravan began its tour from Côte d'Ivoire, moving into Ghana through Elubo, where the first major CSR event took place.
In Elubo, CFAO organised a tree-planting activity at a the Elubo Roman Catholic Basic school, demonstrating the brand's dedication to minimizing its carbon impact. A number of trees were planted, and books were donated to the students, creating a good impact on education.
The caravan then continued to Tarkwa, where the Mitsubishi L200 was shown to corporate clients and executives. Also, in Tarkwa, the St Paul’s Anglican basic School received books and had a tree planting exercise where the children happily planted fruit trees. From there, it traveled to Kumasi for an exhibition at the city's mall. Crowds gathered as CFAO conducted a special display of the L200's design and features, which combine flair and great performance.
During a press briefing, Dennis Gawuga, Communications Manager, highlighted the importance of the initiative, which aligns CFAO Mobility’s dedication to both social and environmental responsibility while providing vehicles that cater to the needs of Ghanaians in a sustainable manner.
“At CFAO Ghana, we are deeply committed to operating in the most environmentally responsible way, which is why we incorporated tree planting in this road trip to help offset the carbon footprint generated by the caravan,” he stated.
“Our mission at CFAO is firmly rooted in positively impacting the environment and the communities we serve.” The Ghanaian stop of the pickup concluded with a grand cocktail event in Accra. Held in the heart of the capital, this celebration officially launched the Mitsubishi L200 to the Ghanaian market.
The Managing Director of CFAO Ghana, Adedamola Adelabu in a speech read on his behalf by the Finance Director Heritiana Randriamanantena explained how the L200 would improve the driving experience of both ordinary drivers and commercial vehicle users.He said
“This is more than just a vehicle; it represents a bold step forward for CFAO Mobility Ghana and our ongoing commitment to providing cutting-edge mobility solutions tailored for the Ghanaian market. As we all know, the pickup segment is one of the most competitive in the automotive industry in Ghana, and today, we are here to show you why the All-New Mitsubishi L200 is set to redefine this space.”
The next day, participants were welcomed to the Burma Camp facilities for a unique test-drive experience. Drivers tested the L200's genuine capabilities as they negotiated varied terrains such as dirt, deep muddy waters, and steep slopes. Customers were thrilled by the vehicle’s performance, giving positive compliments about its handling, especially on challenging surfaces.
The Mitsubishi L200 boasts several features that make it a standout in the pickup segment. At its heart is a 2.4L Turbo Diesel engine that delivers powerful acceleration and a responsive drive, no matter the conditions. What truly sets the L200 apart, however, is its Super Select 4WD-II system, which offers drivers four selectable modes, including full-time 4WD. Whether on wet surfaces or dry pavement, the vehicle maintains excellent stability and cornering performance, making it an all-terrain beast.
Equipped with seven drive modes - the L200 offers drivers complete control over their environment. Active Yaw Control (AYC) enhances handling on slippery roads, while Active Stability and Traction Control maintain vehicle stability through turns. Additionally, the Active Limited Slip Differential prevents wheel spin, ensuring the L200 grips the road like a pro, even in difficult conditions.
