Calif. truck supplier works with Niger government

   AmeraMex International, a Chico, Calif.-based provider of heavy equipment to logistics companies and stevedores, infrastructure construction firms, commercial farmers and mining companies, entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Niger’s Ministry of Transportation to provide trucks for the Vehicle Renewal of Public Transport Project.
   Under the terms of the agreement, three Ministry of Transportation officials and two representatives from AmeraMex will meet in China to review truck models and specifications outlined in AmeraMex’s proposal to provide “tropicalized” vehicles for both Nigerien carriers and trucks for the Public Transport program. It is estimated that about 3,000 trucks will be shipped from a Chinese manufacturer over a three-year period.
   An MOA is a formal business document used to outline an agreement made between two entities. Its purpose is to provide a written understanding of the agreement between the parties. A MOA usually precedes a more detailed contract or agreement, after a process of negotiations and due diligence.
   “With a successful due diligence, the next logical step will be a written agreement between Niger’s Ministry of Transportation and AmeraMex International,” the company said in a press release.
