CFAO Motors Kenya has announced a partnership with Metal Equipment Co. Ltd, which will be the authorised conversion partner for the new improved Safari Landcruiser 79. This marks the first collaboration in East and Central Africa between Toyota Motors Corporation and a local supplier for vehicle conversion.
Metal Equipment Co. Ltd has met the global standards for conversion, and as a result, a locally converted Safari Landcruiser 79 will be offered with a warranty from the original vehicle manufacturer. This is due to the lighter design of the body with no alteration to the base of the vehicle.
”We are honoured to be the authorized conversion partner for CFAO Motors and Toyota Motors Corporation,”said Dhanraj Matharu, Director of Metal Equipment Co. Ltd.’‘We share the same values of quality, safety, and reliability with CFAO Motors and look forward to maintaining this trend throughout the partnership.”
The new improved Safari Landcruiser 79 has a lower total cost of ownership,better payload, and a roomy interior. Safari and Tour companies in Kenya will benefit from this development.
”This is a great achievement for us and an opportunity to showcase our capabilities”,added Matharu.”This global certification serves as evidence that when local companies and the Juakali sector prioritise quality and continuous improvement, we are capable of producing products that are recognised globally.”
