China plans to launch tractor production under the Tulpor brand in Uzbekistan’s Fergana region, according to the regional administration’s press service.
Fergana’s khokim (mayor), Khairullo Bozorov, recently met with Chinese investor Yuan Yanping to discuss the project, which will be based in an industrial zone in Kuvasay. The total investment amounts to $100mn, with $30mn allocated for the first phase.
A local enterprise has been registered in partnership with Chinese investors, and several Tulpor tractor models are expected to be produced by the end of the year.
To ensure energy efficiency, the plant will feature solar panels with a 2 MW capacity, making it self-sufficient in electricity.
The project will be implemented in two stages. The first stage includes constructing the tractor manufacturing plant, while the second stage involves establishing a production and maintenance facility for components.
To enhance efficiency and product quality, smart technologies will be integrated into production. The tractors will be supplied to both local and international markets, with an initial 250 jobs to be created.
During the meeting, Bozorov emphasized the need for a swift and smooth project launch and instructed relevant officials to coordinate efforts with the Chinese investors.
