Indian automaker partners with local distributor MTI to launch seven vehicle models targeting transport and logistics sectors.
Tata Motors has launched its commercial vehicle range in Egypt through a partnership with MM Group for Industry and International Trade (MTI), marking the Indian manufacturer's entry into the North African market. The launch includes seven models spanning pickups to heavy trucks and buses.
The vehicle portfolio comprises the Tata Xenon pickup, Ultra T.7 and T.9 commercial trucks, Prima series heavy trucks (3328.K, 4438.S, 6038.S), and the LP 613 bus. These vehicles target Egypt's cargo transport and passenger mobility segments as the country experiences infrastructure development and urban expansion.
Asif Shamim, Head of International Business at Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles, described Egypt as a key market driven by expanding infrastructure and growing demand for mobility solutions. The company aims to introduce additional models to address evolving customer requirements in the market.
MTI will provide after-sales support through seven service locations across Egypt, offering spare parts access and maintenance services. The partnership includes extended warranties of up to five years or 150,000 kilometers for the Xenon and Ultra vehicle ranges, along with scheduled service packages.
Khaled Mahmoud, CEO of MTI, stated the launch represents a milestone for Egypt's transport and logistics sector. MTI operates one of Egypt's largest distribution networks, reaching over 40,000 points of sale across multiple sectors including automotive and consumer electronics.
Tata Motors currently operates in over 40 countries, offering commercial vehicles ranging from sub-1-tonne to 60-tonne capacity. The company is part of the Tata Group, which reported USD 165 billion in revenue, while Tata Motors recorded USD 44 billion in annual turnover.
The Indian automaker holds a leading position in India's commercial vehicle market and ranks among the top three passenger vehicle manufacturers domestically. The company has established research and development centers in India, the UK, the US, Italy, and South Korea to support its global operations.
Egypt's commercial vehicle market has attracted international manufacturers as the country invests in infrastructure projects and logistics capabilities. The government has implemented economic reforms aimed at attracting foreign investment and supporting industrial development.
