Bobruisk-based tractor factory designing tractor model for Egypt

OAO Bobruisk Plant of Tractor Parts and Units (OAO BZTDiA) is busy designing a tractor for Egypt, BelTA learned from the company's Deputy Director for Commerce Vladimir Kisel.

The technical documents provided by partners from Egypt are used to develop the tractor model. Designers of Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ trademark) and specialists of the Bobruisk-based tractor factory are involved in the process. The tractor for Egypt will be a simplified model of the Belarus 320 tractor. The new model will be fit for farmers and small agricultural enterprises. The first tractor is supposed to be presented during the international agricultural expo Sahara in Cairo in September. “The interest in our machines is huge in Egypt. It is a very promising market for us as far as export diversification is concerned. There are plans to sell the new tractor model via our partners not only in Egypt but also in other North and Central Africa countries,” noted Vladimir Kisel.
