The Finance Ministry is going to “study” the government’s plans to replace tuk-tuks with minivans, Minister Mohamed Maait said yesterday, according to Al Masry Al Youm. Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said last week the government plans to crack down on the three-wheelers by having tuk-tuk manufacturers switch their production lines to natural gas-powered minivans. Automotive industry figures this week argued that the plans would negatively affect feeder industries and called on the government to reconsider.
