29/01/2015

Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ trademark) plans to resume vehicle deliveries to Iraq, representatives of the Belarusian automobile engineering company told.
The company also added, “An Iraqi delegation led by President of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Iraq Jaafar Al-Hamadani visited MTZ some time ago. Representatives of the Iraqi side mentioned the strong interest in MTZ products and suggested setting up an assembly enterprise in Iraq.”
In turn, the Belarusian Company is ready to supply both assembled tractors and assembly kits to Iraq. The company is now looking for partners in Iraq. “MTZ has also been invited to take part in the annual international trade show in Baghdad that will take place in August,” MTZ representatives told.
MTZ supplied no vehicles to Iraq in the last two years due to the complicated domestic political situation in Iraq and the lack of safe operating conditions.
Before that MTZ had supplied tractors to Iraq occasionally. Iraq bought 57 MTZ vehicles in 2011 and 54 ones in 2012, explained the source. At present there are 72,000 tractors in Iraq, with about 50% out of order due to various reasons.
