NAIROBI, Kenya, July 8 – Motor vehicle dealer CFAO Mobility Kenya plans to expand its business portfolio to include the sale of electric vehicles (EVs), whose adoption is growing.
The firm’s managing director, Arvinder Reel, announced that the company will soon introduce its EVs.
Demand for EVs in Kenya has been rising in recent years as the push for a clean transportation system grows.

“The adoption of CFAO Mobility Kenya identity is also a renewed commitment by our staff and operating partners towards delivering exceptional client experience.”
Reel spoke while unveiling the firm’s new identity from CFAO Motor Kenya to CFAO Mobility Kenya as part of the firm’s target to grow market share as well as diversify its business line, including pre-owned vehicle sales, independent quick-fix auto service outlets, and vehicle spares sales.
