South Korean Hyundai Motor Company has signed a contract for the delivery of 182 trucks worth $14 million to Uzbekistan, Yonhapnews reported.
Delivery of trucks will be completed by February 2018. They will be used by workers of sanitary services of Tashkent.
This is the second delivery of trucks to Uzbekistan as in 2001 the company has already exported 200 trucks.
Earlier, Russian KAMAZ and Uzavtosanoat JSC signed a cooperation agreement, providing for the organization of production of freight vehicles in Uzbekistan.
The production of trucks under the KAMAZ brand in Uzbekistan will be organized at the facilities of UzAutoTrailer LLC (a subsidiary of JSC Uzavtosanoat).
In addition, in the future, the creation of a joint venture to assemble vehicles on the territory of the republic is envisaged.
Foreign Trade Company KAMAZ will supply parts of assembly sets to UzAutoTrailer, and the latter will ensure the assembly of the chassis, and organize the superstructure for own and joint production.
Within the framework of the organization of cargo auto
production in Uzbekistan, stipulated by the agreement, by the end
of December 2017 it is planned to put the first 100 assembly kits
for assembling KAMAZ vehicles in the republic.
The data of January-August, 2017 shows that enterprises of
Uzavtosanoat JSC produced products worth 6 057.6 billion soums,
which indicates a two-fold increase compared to the figures for the
same period in 2016.
