Kenya is to start assembling right-hand drive electric vehicles (EV) within the next two months.
Africa Business Communities reports that Chinese auto manufacturer Neta Auto is opening a vehicle assembly plant in Kenya, following the opening of a retail store in Nairobi.
The local factory will assemble 250 EVs a month.
The Neta V is already available in Kenya, and models such as Neta Aya and Neta X will follow. The Neta V has a 380 km range on a single charge and has a top speed of 100 km/h.
Neta Auto says it plans to enter 20 countries, open 100 stores and achieve an annual sales volume of more than 20 000 units within three years in Africa.
