Bombardier to manufacture monorail components in 1Q2020, start assembly in June

Canada’s Bombardier will manufacture the main components for the two monorails linking Sixth of October City to Giza and Nasr City to the new administrative capital in 1Q2020, and start assembly in June 2020, Bombardier’s president for the UK region Matt Byrne told Transport Minister Kamel El Wazir last week, according to a cabinet statement. Egypt signed a 30-year contract with Bombardier, Orascom Construction, and Arab Contractors in August that will see the consortium construct, operate, and maintain the lines.
