A few days ago, the Tanzanian government released a report that wants to revive the Arusha tire plant.
It is understood that the plant was established in 1969 by the local government in cooperation with General Tire of the United States.
It is designed to have an annual production capacity of 320,000 motorcycle tires.
However, due to the competitiveness of imported tires from China, the plant was shut down in 2007.
The Tanzanian government has said it wants to find funding and technology investors to revive the plant.
New investors can lease the plant for 33 years and have the right to sign a renewal agreement.
The company aims to increase the plant's annual production capacity of motorcycle tires to 1 million tires.
In the future, it will be possible to add a tire production line for cars, buses, light and heavy trucks.
The Tanzanian government hopes to reduce its dependence on imported tires from China, Japan and India.
It is understood that Tanzania is located in eastern Africa, with a hot and dry climate, and has high requirements for tire quality.
There are many local car owners who complain that imported tires are not suitable for the country's climate and have a poor use experience.
