Chinese bike manufacturer Loncin has signed an agreement with Egyptian motorcycle distributor AMINO to establish a joint-venture assembly operation in North Africa’s biggest economy. AMINO has been involved in assembling CKD kits sourced from China for some time.
Loncin, which has a JV relationship with Kawasaki in China and also manufactures engines under contract for BMW Motorrad, says it plans to invest about £2.4m in the project. India’s Bajaj Auto already has a JV assembly operation in Egypt.
