History

The Toyota East Africa Limited had vehicles manufactured by the Associated Vehicle Assemblers since 1977.[1] The assembled vehicles included the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Toyota Hilux.[1][2]

In January 2012, the company was replaced by Toyota Kenya Limited.

In 2013, assembly of Hino trucks started at Associated Vehicle Assemblers. To this end, Toyota had invested 500 million KES (around EUR 5 million).[3]
