After that, SINOTRUK constructed KD plants in Ethiopia and other places to produce tractor, dumper, sprinkler, swept-body refuse collector and other types of vehicles. “Li Na told the reporter, the biggest advantage for setting up KD plant in the foreign country is the reduction in tariffs in overseas, compared with other import and export vehicle dealers, SINOTRUK overseas dealers reduce the cost, enhance market competitiveness, promote sales and drive the local employment.
