President Becomes First Owner! First Tractors Roll Off Assembly Line at YTO Congo (Brazzaville) Agricultural Equipment Assembly Plant

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the first batch of tractors officially rolled off the assembly line at the YTO Congo (Brazzaville) Agricultural Equipment Assembly Plant, a subsidiary of Sinomach Group, and are about to be delivered to customers. Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso witnessed the rollout of the first batch of products on site and became the owner of the first YTO tractor. The assembly plant will provide equipment support for local agricultural production, promoting grain yield increases and enhancing food security assurance capabilities.

The YTO Congo (Brazzaville) Agricultural Equipment Assembly Plant is a key project under the Belt and Road Initiative, jointly built by YTO and a local enterprise. It primarily produces tractors ranging from 70 to 140 horsepower and is one of the most advanced tractor production lines in African countries. In addition to creating a large number of local jobs, it has also greatly enhanced the country's mechanical industry manufacturing capacity and agricultural mechanization level.

President Sassou visited the production workshop to inspect tractor manufacturing operations on site and listened to briefings on the assembly plant's status. According to a representative from YTO International Trade Company, the YTO tractors rolled off the line this time are mainly in two models—75 horsepower and 130 horsepower—featuring strong power, stable quality, high traction, and easy maintenance, capable of meeting various local farming needs from cultivation to harvesting. These are star models of YTO in the African market and are highly favored by users. President Sassou also excitedly boarded a newly rolled-off YTO tractor for a test ride, praising its exceptional driving comfort, and purchased the first tractor off the line on the spot.

Furthermore, the successful rollout of the first batch of tractors at the YTO Congo (Brazzaville) Agricultural Equipment Assembly Plant marks another landmark achievement in YTO's coordinated efforts with sister companies under Sinomach Group to accelerate overseas expansion. During project implementation, China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC), leveraging its power transmission and distribution projects contracted locally, provided reliable electricity support for the assembly plant and innovatively proposed a turnkey solution of "power connection + equipment supply + technical training," achieving precise alignment across the upstream and downstream industrial chain and providing solid support for the rollout of the plant's first batch of products. In recent years, YTO has continuously deepened collaboration with sister companies within Sinomach Group to promote the global reach of Sinomach-made high-end agricultural machinery, achieving notable results in joint overseas expansion. YTO has worked closely with Sinomach Engineering Group and China CAMC Engineering to advance the Gombe State Agricultural Mechanization Center project in Nigeria, with the first batch of 300 YTO tractors already delivered to customers. YTO and Sumec have jointly explored the agricultural machinery market potential in Azerbaijan, with the first cooperative order totaling 263 YTO tractors now beginning batch deliveries. YTO's cooperation with Sinomach Hainan continues to deepen, with joint efforts achieving market sales of the YTO-ELP3004 tractor in Zambia—the highest-horsepower tractor exported to Africa by a Chinese agricultural machinery manufacturer.
