Anadolu Isuzu is positioning its Uzbekistan investment as a platform for wider regional growth. In a report published on Sunday, November 8, 2026, Anadolu Agency said the company aims to use SamAuto to expand its manufacturing and export reach across Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.

Uzbekistan becomes strategic base

Anadolu Isuzu acquired a 75.2 percent stake in SamAuto, an Uzbek commercial-vehicle producer, making the plant its first overseas production investment. The facility covers 175,000 square meters and produces buses, trucks and pickups, alongside more than 35 types of special-purpose vehicle bodies.

Chief Executive Tu?rul Ar?kan described the investment as an important milestone in the international growth strategy. Management wants to combine Anadolu Isuzu's engineering and production expertise with SamAuto's manufacturing capabilities and develop the site into a regional production and supply center.

Local production supports exports

Management is targeting a local-content ratio above 30 percent at SamAuto. The company also plans to use Uzbekistan's production and logistics advantages to broaden exports, with Africa and the Middle East among the targeted markets.
