According to Galina Svalova, the Head of Communications, the company is set to roll out the new plates for motorcycles starting November 1, 2024, with private vehicles following on January 1, 2025.
Svalova said the facility can produce at least 5,000 plates daily, marking a major step in modernizing Uganda’s transport system.
This marks a major step towards making the project a reality after several extensions.
The Minister for Security Maj. Gen. Jim Muhwezi recently revealed that the implementation of the Intelligent Transport Monitoring System (ITMS) project was on course and that the contractor had installed four hot stamping machines, four embossment machines, and will soon receive blank plates and hot stamping materials with security features.
The Government of Uganda in 2021 signed an agreement, partnering with Russian Joint Stock Company “Global Security”, to deliver the ITMS. The project is intended to ease recognition of vehicles used by criminals to carry out crimes in the country to enable quick and timely response by the Security Agencies.
