Motor vehicle dealer DT Dobie has moved to assemble two of its Mercedes Benz truck models in the local market in response to government incentives that seek to promote domestic production.
The company says it started assembling the Mercedes Benz Actros 3340 and 2640 models at the Thika-based Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM) in May as the government moves to ban imports of used trucks. DT Dobie owns a 32.5 percent stake in KVM.
