The scheme will initially be rolled out in Cairo, Giza, Qalyubia, Alexandria, Suez, Port Said and the Red Sea. The Finance Ministry had earlier announced that it could expand its <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d349ac34-e4ea-4609-81ce-b0baff63e965\">natgas transition scheme<\/a> to include more vehicle owners and more governorates, as part of its plan to outfit <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2b32a76e-edee-488e-bb81-5700f30f1229\">15k microbuses<\/a> with dual-fuel engines during the scheme\u2019s first year.

Taqa\u2019s Master Gas subsidiary will use the finance to build 40 new filling stations in a number of governorates, to support the growing shift to natural gas vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The move comes as part of a wider plan: <\/strong>Taqa Arabia \u2014 along with state companies Cargas and Gastec \u2014 is <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2d383c65-dda0-4b36-8860-c82fa7b99e0d\">working to expand the country\u2019s network of natgas filling stations<\/a> as part of the government\u2019s plan to lessen the reliance on gasoline to power the nation\u2019s vehicles.
