Toyota agrees to transition its microbus fleet in Egypt to natural gas

Toyota has reportedly agreed to switch the engines on all 100k Toyota-branded microbuses currently on Egypt’s streets to run on natural gas instead of diesel fuel, the local press reports, citing an unnamed government source familiar with the matter. The company expects to complete the process in four to six years. The decision comes as part of the government’s efforts encouraging citizens to install dual-fuel engines to increase fuel efficiency and protect the environment.
