Toyota dealers CFAO outpaces Isuzu in August local car sales
CFAO sold 683 units during the month, slightly higher than the 681 units sold by Isuzu East Africa.
In August, Kenya's CFAO Mobility Kenya Limited outperformed Isuzu East Africa in local car sales, according to the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMIA). The data reveals that CFAO sold 683 units, narrowly surpassing Isuzu's 681 units sold during the same period. CFAO's sales in July were 617 units, highlighting a steady increase in their performance.
Isuzu East Africa experienced a decline in sales from August compared to its August 2022 performance. In comparison, Simba Corporation secured the third position with 108 units sold, while Tata Holdings Africa followed with 62 units.

The Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMIA) attributes the industry's performance to government fiscal intervention. A significant factor was the mobilization of Sh139 billion to clear contractor bills and restart road projects, which bolstered demand for heavy commercial vehicles. Overall, local firms sold 1,592 units in August, a slight decrease from the 1,677 units sold in the previous month of July.
