Egyptian Dual-Fuel Vehicles to Replace Tuk-Tuks

The Ministry of Military Production has announced plans to manufacture an alternative vehicle to the tuk-tuk. Engineer Mohamed Salah El Din Mostafa, Minister of State for Military Production, detailed that this new vehicle will feature a dual-fuel engine, capable of running on both gasoline and natural gas.

In a move to ensure widespread adoption, the ministry will collaborate with the private sector to produce this vehicle. The initial phase will see the importation of 200 units, which will be used as a benchmark before commencing local production. These vehicles will come with four doors and will be fully licensed, with after-sales services provided by a designated private sector company.

The Minister indicated that tuk-tuks may face restrictions in certain areas once the new vehicles are sufficiently available.
