CFAO Mobility Kenya has celebrated a significant double milestone with the official launch of its Kisumu branch and the unveiling of the new Sinotruk H2 and H3 truck models for the Western Kenya market. The landmark event signals the company’s deepening investment in the region’s transportation and logistics ecosystem, positioning Kisumu as a strategic hub for trade, agriculture, and construction.
The new Kisumu facility stands out as the only branch in CFAO’s national network that houses its full multi-brand portfolio, providing a comprehensive 360-degree mobility solution. This means customers in Western Kenya can now access a complete range of world-class vehicles, spare parts, and service support under one roof — reducing downtime and improving accessibility for businesses in the region.
Strengthening Kenya’s Transport Backbone
Speaking at the launch, Arvinder Reel, Managing Director of CFAO Mobility Kenya, said the investment reflects the company’s mission to drive operational efficiency and customer value across the country.
“Our new Sinotruk H2 and H3 trucks represent more power, more efficiency, more safety, and a stronger return on investment,” said Reel. “Through the Kisumu branch, we are ensuring that dependable vehicles and professional service are available right at our customers’ doorstep.”
The Sinotruk H2 and H3 models mark a new chapter in CFAO’s local product lineup, offering greater flexibility for businesses with diverse transport needs.
The H2 (light-duty) model is designed for FMCG distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers, combining cost-efficiency, durability, and fuel economy for daily commercial operations. On the other hand, the H3 (medium-duty) truck, built with a reinforced double chassis, is engineered for heavy-duty tasks such as sand harvesting, water bowser operations, hardware transport, and construction logistics.
Both models are equipped with driver-centric features, including air suspension seats and sleeper cabins, ensuring comfort, safety, and endurance during long-distance hauls — a key consideration for operators managing demanding logistics routes across Western Kenya and beyond.
Expanding Mobility Access in Western Kenya
CFAO Mobility’s expansion into Kisumu aligns with the region’s rapid economic growth, driven by trade along the Lake Victoria corridor, expanding infrastructure, and increased industrial activity. The Kisumu branch is envisioned as a strategic gateway to support transport operators, small businesses, and large-scale enterprises across Western Kenya, Nyanza, and the Rift Valley.
Joshua Anya, Deputy Managing Director at CFAO Mobility Kenya, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting Kenya’s logistics and industrial sectors through reliable, cost-effective mobility solutions.
“With Sinotruk, we are delivering value and peace of mind,” said Anya. “Every truck is backed by our countrywide aftersales network, ensuring that our customers can focus on growing their businesses while we take care of their vehicles.”
This comprehensive aftersales infrastructure — including parts availability, maintenance, and roadside assistance — is part of what CFAO Mobility calls its Total Value Proposition, designed to ensure productivity, uptime, and long-term savings for clients.
Partnering with Businesses for Growth
The launch of the H2 and H3 trucks also reflects CFAO Mobility’s broader strategy of partnership and innovation with Kenyan businesses. By offering vehicles that balance performance and affordability, the company aims to help local enterprises navigate challenges such as high fuel prices and operational costs — key pain points in Kenya’s logistics sector.
The company emphasized that its Sinotruk range — already known for its robust tippers and prime movers — has now been expanded to cover the light and medium-duty segments, giving Kenyan businesses more options suited to different industries and terrain conditions.
“These models are purpose-built for Kenya’s diverse economy,” said Reel. “Whether you’re distributing goods in Kisumu, transporting water in Homa Bay, or handling construction in Kakamega, the H2 and H3 are engineered to deliver performance and reliability that make business sense.”
Driving Regional Economic Impact
CFAO Mobility Kenya’s move to Kisumu is expected to create new employment opportunities, boost local supply chains, and enhance regional competitiveness in the transport and logistics sectors. The company views the new branch as a long-term investment that complements Kisumu’s emergence as a regional trade and manufacturing hub.
Industry observers note that with the completion of major infrastructure projects such as the Kisumu Port, Lake Victoria ring roads, and improved rail and air connectivity, demand for reliable transport solutions is growing rapidly in Western Kenya. CFAO Mobility’s investment directly supports this growth by ensuring businesses in the region have access to dependable vehicles and support systems without relying solely on Nairobi-based services.
Commitment to Quality, Service, and Sustainability
Beyond sales, CFAO Mobility Kenya continues to champion sustainable mobility practices — including the adoption of cleaner engine technologies and improved fuel efficiency across its portfolio. The company’s expanding branch network also plays a critical role in decentralizing access to professional automotive services, reducing the environmental impact of long-distance vehicle servicing and logistics.
By positioning Kisumu as a regional hub, CFAO Mobility is advancing its vision of accessible, sustainable, and customer-focused mobility solutions for Kenya’s fast-growing transport sector.
“Our investment here is a statement of confidence in Western Kenya’s economic future,” added Reel. “We are not just selling vehicles — we are building partnerships that will drive growth, efficiency, and prosperity for years to come.”
