The first dual-fuel microbus is now on the road after being delivered to its owner under the natgas transition scheme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government aims to put <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a946047f-ec53-4300-942f-165509dbcc68\">15k microbuses<\/a><\/strong> <strong>with new dual-fuel engines on the road during the first year<\/strong> of its multi-year natgas transition program. The ministry is providing microbus owners with support of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/fb946142-952e-4c72-bbf2-87286ab690b9\">25% of the new vehicle\u2019s total value<\/a> \u2014 at a maximum of EGP 65k \u2014 to help them cover the down payment. The remainder is being paid over seven to 10 years in installments subsidized rates under a financing program backed by the Central Bank of Egypt. In early June, the ministry recently expanded the scheme to include <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a610585a-834c-4966-ab56-e93167934e00\">owners of 20+ year-old microbuses<\/a> in the first phase starting last July.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many are eligible for the initiative?<\/strong> So far, some 31k of the applicants met the program\u2019s conditions, according to the initiative\u2019s executive director Amgad Mounir.

This is more than double the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e2dd65fe-9507-4ee7-90cc-f2e4a53a5da5\">1.7k dual-fuel passenger cars<\/a> delivered as at late June, with EGP 46.5 mn worth of paid incentives.
