Twelve Egyptian and international consortiums setting up a smart transportation system of electric buses will begin a pilot test within days, said Mohamed Anis, advisor to the Chairman of the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), according to the local press. The test period will be for three months and the government will use it to decide how many vehicles it needs to produce. The AOI is in talks with international companies including Volkswagen and Toyota to manufacture the buses, which will operate in the new administrative capital and other new cities under construction.
