Motor dealer Crown Motors Group is in talks with two car assemblers in Kenya, targeting a deal to assemble pick-ups by Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor (GWM), its top officials said, buoyed by tax incentives by the State.

Crown Motors Kenya chairman Lawrence Ndombi said the company was in talks with Simba Corp’s Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) and Thika-based Kenya Vehicle Assemblers (KVM) for a deal to assemble the Chinese pick-ups.
