Mr. Patrick Ndunda said, “To be able to uphold the rule of law for a safe and secure society, the police force needs vehicles that are fuel-efficient, reliable, and with adequate safety features. We are proud to add these locally assembled vehicles to our fleet as we are also helping build our economy.”
Chris Ndala, the Managing Director of DT Dobie explained, “The Volkswagen Tiguan has many safety features including the Anti-locking Brake System (ABS) and stability control. The hill descent assist which helps drivers to tackle off-road terrain and day time running lights (LED) which give a clear indication to the drivers of oncoming vehicles will come handy for police work.”
“For over eight years DT Dobie has been assembling vehicles at KVM in Thika. We are working with the Government to expand the local assembly of passenger cars, buses, light commercial vehicles, and big trucks to reduce the importation of used vehicles and instead to provide jobs for Kenyans.”
“We place great emphasis on top-class servicing, maintenance, and repairs. Our factory-trained workshop staff has the use of substantial stocks of genuine spares which carry warranties. In addition, these are available from our spare parts counters for customers who can also buy service kits at favorable prices.” Chris Ndala concluded.
