Prague’s Mut Automotivewill collaborate with the Military Production Ministry on 19 industrial projects, CEO Michel Knight told the local press on the sidelines of the ‘Egypt Can’ conference, which concluded yesterday. The company will begin at the end of this month the first phase of a project to turn 90k public transport buses to natural gas or electricity. Under the agreement, the company will replace the motors of 6k buses per year, Knight said, adding that the company will probably convert them into electric buses due to difficulties in converting fuel motors to natural gas. Mut will announce its intention to manufacture the first loader in Egypt. The company also has plans to work with the ministry to turn white taxis to electric motors within five years by importing batteries from China’s Geely Global.
