The share of locally assembled vehicles has jumped to a new peak of 78.1 per cent of all new automotive sales as formal dealers benefit from government incentives aimed at encouraging local production.

Data from the Kenya Motor Vehicle Industry Association (KMI) shows that firms including Isuzu East Africa and Simba Corporation assembled 9,345 units out of the total of 11,962 new vehicles sold in the eleven months that ended November.
