Citi Hoppa has introduced 24 new Isuzu buses with modern features worth Kes 175 million as it expands its fleet.

Citi Hoppa Operations Director Githaiga Weru underscored the company’s commitment to prioritizing customer comfort and safety during the launch.

“Today’s flag-off demonstrates our pursuit for the highest standards of safety, comfort, and efficiency in our business through our long-time relationship with Isuzu East Africa.”

On the other hand, Isuzu East Africa Director of Sales and Marketing, Wanjohi Kangangi, praised the collaboration as a big step towards sustainability through units that consume less fuel.

“Sustainability is at the core of Isuzu EA’s business strategy and ensures we meet the needs of our customers through product and after-sales services,” he said.

This comes a few days after MetroTrans Investment Limited announced investing Kes 103 million in fourteen new Hino buses to modernize fleets.

The buses have been locally assembled by CFAO Mobility and financed by Family Bank.

According to CFAO Mobility Kenya Managing Director Arvinder Reel, the firm is committed to maintaining the highest technical and mechanical standards on locally assembled buses.

“With a decade-long partnership and a fleet of 37 Hino buses, we remain dedicated to providing vehicles that consistently deliver reliability and efficiency in your operations.”

Further, he said that the partnership is part of the firm’s goal to support Kenya’s economy through technical knowledge transfer and training and create employment opportunities across its various lines of operations.

MetroTrans Chairman Oscar Rosanna stated that Nairobi has over 4 million residents, requiring a reliable public transportation system.

“With the new fleet, MetroTrans will be able to enhance its service delivery, expand its routes, and provide a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.”
