flag Tanzania starts local assembly of railway locomotives, boosting jobs and reducing import reliance.

flag Tanzania has begun assembling mainline gauge railway locomotives locally at the Pugu workshop in Dar es Salaam, becoming the first East African country to do so. flag The Tanzania Railways Corporation led the initiative to reduce dependence on imported units and address supply chain delays, particularly from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. flag Two locomotives from Malaysia arrived fully assembled, while parts for six more are being put together locally. flag The project has created jobs for 34 youth, boosted local suppliers, and drawn praise from parliament. flag Officials emphasize long-term benefits, including cost savings and building national technical capacity.
