The share of locally assembled vehicles has risen to a record 75.5 percent of new automotive sales as formal dealers continue to benefit from government policies 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 4,174 units out of the total of 5,526 new vehicles sold in the five months to May.
