"An enterprise with Chinese Lifan to appear in the Namangan region, this is the production of scooters, motorcycles and three-wheeled cargo scooters. This is a new technique for our industry, we have never done that. We plan to launch capacities by the end of the year on the basis of the Naryn Mechanical Plant, said the head of "Uzavtosanoat" Umidzhan Salimov.
According to him, the Uzbek side does not intend to repeat past mistakes and also to stimulate the development of competition in this segment. Therefore, "Uzavtosanoat" plans to launch another similar project with the Indian Bajaj.
