Fuso production at AVA assembly plant in Kenya begins

Daimler Trucks Asia and its Kenyan partners Simba Colt and Associated Vehicles Assemblers (AVA) have celebrated the start of production of the new Fuso range at the AVA assembly plant in Mombasa, Kenya.

The project to add the Fuso 2523C truck to the AVA assembly plant's portfolio was completed in a record time of only five months. Further models will be added subsequently.

Simba Colt Motors has been a partner of Fuso for 48 years, making it one of the oldest general distributor relationships in the Daimler group. AVA has been the partner for the assembly of Fuso products imported from Japan since 1982.
