German carmaker Volkswagen is looking to double production in Kenya and to introduce a new model at its Thika plant, a huge boost for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big Four action plan.
VW South Africa head, Thomas Schaefer, told Mr Kenyatta at a meeting in the South Africa Friday that the firm was exploring producing a second model in Kenya, possibly a hatchback (small SUV), while doubling production of the VW Polo Vivo to at least 300 vehicles.
