The share of new vehicles assembled locally rose to a record 70.9 percent in the eight months ended August, signalling increased demand for models put together at plants such as Isuzu East Africa and Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM).
Data from the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMIA) shows that the formal dealers sold 6,249 units in the period that were imported as completely knocked down (CKD) parts and were later assembled at the plants.
