Electric vehicle (EV) company Tad Motors has unveiled its first five locally assembled cars made from parts sourced from multiple manufacturers in China, officially launching sales since it opened shop in Kenya last year.

The company, owned by the Ethiopian-born Dutch businessman Tadesse Tessema, has assembled two SUV models --Dhahabu and Amani-- and three sedans branded Taji, Makena and Fahari.
