Kenya has made significant efforts to spur the motor vehicle industry. Attracting investments in medium to high technology industries, job creation, exports drive and reducing imports of vehicles, components and spare parts are core to this policy agenda.

The effort to develop this industry is anchored in Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2022 on National Automotive Policy. Kenya seeks to position itself as a regional hub for motor vehicle assembly, parts and components manufacture.
