As the automotive landscape continually evolves, we will be at the forefront of embracing change and offering our customers the best of what the industry has to offer.”
Ndala also emphasized the company’s commitment to providing exceptional after-sales services and ensuring spare parts availability through its extensive network of showrooms and service centers across the country. “From purchase to after-sales care, our priority is your convenience, satisfaction, and peace of mind,” he added.
Furthermore, Mr. Ndala revealed that CFAO Motors is actively exploring options for local assembly and electric vehicles, aligning with global trends and regulatory changes. With new regulatory targets in the European Union and the United States aiming for at least a 50 percent share of electric vehicles by 2030, the company is keen on staying ahead of the curve and contributing to a more sustainable automotive future.
