Dealer invests Sh1.4 bn in Chinese cars assembly

Global Motors Centre, the distributor appointed to sell Jetour brand of cars in the Kenyan market, is investing Sh1.4 billion to start assembling the Chinese models in Mombasa from the first quarter of 2026.

Local assembly will see the firm benefit from several tax incentives, enabling it to cut its introductory showroom prices that are substantially lower than the sticker prices of some rival Japanese and European brands in the same categories.
