Commencing Production of High-Speed Electric Trains for Egypt’s Transportation System

The Egyptian Ministry of Transport has announced that the Express electric train is being manufactured in Germany’s Siemens factory and will be a part of the fast train network that will link all Egyptian cities along 3 lines spanning about 2000 km. The system comprises of 3 primary lines, with the first one being a strategic line that links the Red Sea city of Ain Sukhna with Alexandria, El Alamein, and Matrouh on the Mediterranean. The high-speed electric train system will not only serve as a development artery for existing and new urban and industrial areas but also significantly reduce travel time across governorates. The project will create multiple job opportunities, boost economic growth and improve the quality of life of millions of Egyptians.

The Ministry of Transport stated that express trains and regional trains of the fast electric train network are manufactured inside the Siemens company’s factory in Krefeld, Germany, according to the latest global technology systems, and the quantitative production of trains for Egypt is now taking place.

The new system of the fast electric train network in Egypt consists of 3 main lines with a length of 2,000 km, where the first line is a line similar to the Suez Canal in its strategic importance, and will link the city of Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea with the cities of Alexandria, El Alamein and Matrouh on the Mediterranean, with a length of 660 km.

Engineer Kamel Al-Wazir confirmed, Minister of TransportThe high-speed electric train system will represent a huge quantum leap in the means of transportation in Egypt, and will cover all parts of the Republic. In addition to being development arteries that serve new and existing urban and industrial areas, it will contribute to reducing and shortening the time of trips between the governorates for more than half the time that the citizen currently spends. Whether through the old train network or through the current roads linking the governorates, it also serves the transportation of goods between ports and governorates and shortens the time period for transporting these goods.

This giant project also contributes to creating thousands of job opportunities, stimulating economic growth in Egypt, and improving the quality of life of millions of Egyptians every day.

The implementation of the fast electric train network in Egypt is a game-changer for transportation in the country. The manufacturing of the trains has officially started, with the latest global technology systems being utilized for the construction. The network consists of three main lines spanning approximately 2000 km and will link all Egyptian cities. This project will create thousands of job opportunities and help in stimulating economic growth in Egypt. Moreover, it will significantly improve the quality of life of millions of Egyptians by reducing travel time between different cities.
