To be launched by Ohuru on Wednesday. How true is it that it will cost 1.3m? That will be great since a 8yr old japanese jalopy Premio is going for 1.7m.

Someone tell Uhuru and Rotich they need to lower taxes on locally assembled vehicles. This will create jobs and take care of environment since eight year old jalopies will not be as attractive.

How much does taxation take up, on the locally made/assembled cars, the mobius was going for just over 1M, and the Mobius 2 might be much more higher - we wait for how much the local vivo will be priced at

from the sketch it looks more robust than the current model, but it still a sketch the real thing might vary greatly, but if the mobius guys are not careful the vivo guys will steal the thunder.

Are electric cars taxed in Kenya?

Is it sheer co-incidence or is Uhuru actually brokering deals to attract these investor?

Peugeot is also shopping around for an assembly company. The next round of police and government vehicle leases should be restricted to companies and brands that are assembled locally

There is something called value for money... You just don't go local because it's assembled locally!
