Volvo Trucks will roll out locally assembled lorries in 2018 as part of a Sh2.5 billion ($25 million) investment.
Volvo
Trucks’ local dealership partner, Necst Motors, will provide the
capital for the establishment of an assembly line to be housed at the
Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) plant in Mombasa.
Necst has also committed to set up 20 Volvo Trucks workshops in the East African region over the next five years.
“We
believe strongly in the growth of this region, Kenya and the
neighbouring countries, and that’s why we think now is a better time to
invest in this country,” said Volvo Trucks’ president, Mr Claes Nilsson.
Kenya will become the third African country to host Volvo Trucks assembly facility, after South Africa and Morocco.
