VW is setting up a ride-hailing service in Rwanda and a production facility in Kenya.

According to Engadget, the launch of the ride-hailing service follows VW investing $300 million in Gett – a company similar to Uber which does not use surge pricing.

The report stated that Uber is yet to establish operations in Rwanda, making it a good test market for VW.

The production facility in Kenya is set to produce the Polo Vivo electric compact.
