The manufacturing sector features prominently as one of the key industries that power the economic growth of the country. As part of its local assembly commitment, Toyota Kenya in October 2019 introduced the assembly of the Hilux pick-up ranges, bringing their local assembly lineup to a total of 11 varied models. The country’s automotive sector has great potential with a case in point being the success of the Government Vehicle Leasing Programme. Under this program, Toyota Kenya provided over 2,500 vehicles backed by a fully-fledged fleet management system and advanced driver training to all users. The implementation of the National Automotive Policy would further boost the local assembly capacity.
