Sales of new motor vehicles dropped 13.9 percent to 2,758 units in the quarter ended March, signalling another down year for the industry, which has raised prices in response to multiple challenges, including the weakening of the shilling.
The dealers, including Isuzu East Africa, Simba Corp and Toyota East Africa, had sold 3,203 units in the same quarter the year before, according to data from the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMIA).
