Posted on : Friday, 11th August 2017
Listed equipment supplier Car and General has launched a motorcycle, TVS StaR HLX 150, with state-of-the-art features in the local market.
“Kenya has recently witnessed a positive upswing in the economy, thus creating opportunities in the transport and mobility sector,” Car and General group managing director Vijay Gidoomal said in a statement.
The motorcycle is targeted at boosting the firm’s sales in the country through fuel efficiency and agility. It can be used effectively for transport of passengers as well as daily commute.
It has the latest Internal Oil Cooling technology making it high on durability and low on maintenance. It is has new features including a USB Charging Port, Gear Position Indicator, Fuel Gauge, Third Pillion Footrest with Plate, Stylish Dashboard, Hazard Lamp and Headlamp Visor.
In April the firm, which deals in automotive, engineering and agricultural products rebranded into Cummins Car & General after American firm, Cummins Inc, completed acquisition of 50 per cent stake.
The two said they will go big into production of power generators, largely targeting mining and port activities.
The New York Stock Exchange's listed Cummins deals in diesel engines, turbochargers, alternators and generators.
Through the venture, Cummins will increase its African footprint targeting 11 countries in the East and Central African region. This will give them wide customer base provided by Car & General, which will in turn boost the African contribution to Cummin’s global earnings currently at two per cent.
