The Egyptian government recently signed an agreement to produce a fleet of electric buses in the country.
Egypt’s Transport and Military Production ministries signed the roughly $28 million agreement with the international bus manufacturer MCV to make 100 electric buses locally in Egypt. The buses will ultimately run on the Ring Road that encircles Cairo and its suburbs, Egypt’s state Information Service said Saturday.
