German carmaker Volkswagen is looking to double production in Kenya and to introduce a new model at its plant in Thika, the presidential office said without giving timelines.
VW South Africa head Thomas Schaefer told President Kenyatta at a meeting in the South African town of East London that the firm was exploring producing a second model in Kenya, possibly a hatchback (small SUV), while doubling production of the VW Polo Vivo to at least 300 vehicles.
