More Chinese car brands are targeting Kenya as they expand into East Africa and the African market with Caetano and Jetour being the latest entrants in the market.

Majority of these brands are introducing electrical vehicles to the Kenyan roads, aligning their business models with government's strategy to increase the use of clean energy vehicles and reduce fossil-fuelled mobility.
