NAIROBI, KENYA: German automaker Volkswagen (VW) plans to double output at its Kenyan assembly plant and could build a second model, Presidential Uhuru Kenyatta’s office said without giving a timeline.

VW set up the vehicle assembly plant in 2016, resuming production in Kenya after a four decade break. The plant has started by assembling VW’s Vivo model.
