The history of Ela Motors in Papua New Guinea dates back 57 years to its initial humble beginnings on 9th February 1963. From a single operation based in Badili, Port Moresby to now being the largest automotive and marine distributor in PNG. Ela Motors investment into the infrastructure and people development of PNG has developed immensely over the fifty-five-year commitment to the country (2022). With fifteen branches strategically placed throughout the country, Ela Motors accessibility has contributed to the prosperity in all regions of PNG. These include the establishment of our state of the art Waigani Showroom and the logistics facility in Lae and a dedicated Hino truck shop in Badili. In addition Ela Motors has developed a technical training centre called Ela Academy dedicated to developing our very own specialized mechanics.
