The cars include models by Hyundai, Chevrolet, Nissan, Lada, and BYD, with prices starting at EGP 146k for a Lada Granta bought straight off the lot and ranging as high as EGP 279k for a Nissan Sentra. The same models are also available for purchase with 7- and 10-year payment plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And here\u2019s how you could fund it:<\/strong> Buyers will be eligible for subsidized loans funded by the central bank, the Trade and Industry Ministry, and MSME Development Agency, which will hand out a combined <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2b32a76e-edee-488e-bb81-5700f30f1229\">EGP 16.2 bn<\/a> to vehicle owners through participating banks.

This phase is expected to see 250k old passenger cars, microbuses, and taxis taken off the road and outfitted with new engines by the end of 2023. The entire three-stage program is expected to cost EGP 320 bn at its completion, with the government previously estimating the cost of each vehicle conversion at EGP 8k-12k.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OTHER ENERGY NEWS- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The government will continue to subsidize butane gas cylinde<\/strong><strong>rs <\/strong><strong>over the next fiscal year<\/strong>, keeping their end user price at EGP 65 apiece, almost half the EGP 120 production cost, <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3rQRgxS\">El Watan<\/a> reports, citing an Oil Ministry source.
