  • Associated Vehicle Assemblers Ltd, (AVA) was founded in August 1977, and is an automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturer with headquarters in Mombasa, Kenya. The plant operates for different dealer networks of different brands, which the vehicles are then distributed in Africa, the Middle East and to some extent in Europe. Current clients include Mitsubishi Motors, Scania, TATA Motors as well as the Toyota. The company employs about 360 workers and assembles up to 9,000 vehicles per year, of which 1,000 are Toyota alone. The company is 50% owned by Marshalls East Africa Limited. The production of the plant was founded in 1977 with the installation of the delivered CKD - kits from Japanese. The model range included the Toyota Hiace like the two SUVs Toyota 4 and Toyota Land Cruiser 55. The following year, it was followed by the Toyota Hilux, the first passenger car model. The Land Cruiser, as well as the Hiace were always up to date in the current generations. A special feature of the work is, however, the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 is what is produced here and remains, still. Some units of the model are further specifically for distribution to the United Nations as well as international NGOs constructed accordingly. In the new millennium, there was also a facelift . The Hilux production ceased in 1998 due to lack of demand. Since the late eighties, Scania is also active in Kenya. Among other models, the current G- , P- , and R-Series are built. However, the models of the series 113 H, 113 M as well as the subsequent 100-Series were built. Mitsubishis began to be assembled in the mid-1990s. The Nativa and the two trucks Mitsubishi Fuso FH and Mitsubishi Fuso FV have been produced for the local market. The Toyota East Africa Limited canceled its contract in 2012, as the company now wants to start an independent production. The plant is already under construction and will become operational in 2012. As a substitute AVA brought in TATA Motors, which has had a presence in Kenya since 1995.
