French automaker Peugeot S.A. has started local assembly of its brands at Thika-based Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM), becoming the latest multinational to produce vehicles at the plant.
Peugeot, which has partnered with its local franchise holder Urysia in the assembly of the 508 and 3008 passenger car models, had announced the plan earlier but did not say which of the local assemblers it would use.
