Egypt is set to bring 125 out-of-operation locomotives back to life <\/strong>\u2014 under a USD 297 mn agreement with Canada\u2019s INPS Group, which includes its rail aftermarket parts and overhauls firm, Advanced Power Dynamics<\/a> (APD), a senior government source told EnterpriseAM on Thursday. The 12-year contract to rehabilitate and upgrade 180 aging Henschel locomotives \u2014 including 55 already in service \u2014 plays into the government\u2019s wider strategy of maximizing the efficiency of its existing fleet to support its push into freight transport and logistics. <\/p>\n

The Transport Ministry also signed a EUR 54.9 mn agreement with Italy\u2019s Salcef to <\/strong>modernize <\/strong>300 km of railway lines<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> Spain\u2019s Indra Sistemas also bagged a EUR 12.4 mn contract to upgrade contactless ticketing for Metro Lines 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

\n

Why it matters <\/p>\n

Resurrecting the ghost fleet: <\/strong>By rehabilitating 125 units, the move becomes more than a maintenance contract \u2014 it\u2019s a massive capacity injection. It also comes as part of a push to localize train manufacturing, spare parts production, and overhaul activities \u2013\u2013 reducing reliance on imports, the source said.<\/p>\n

A larger rehab theme is at play:<\/strong> Egyptian National Railways signed three contracts worth over USD 235 mn with US-based Progress Rail last year<\/a> to upgrade and maintain the country\u2019s locomotive fleet. This included a USD 42 mn contract to supply spare parts for 141 units over 15 years. <\/p>\n

\n

What\u2019s next? <\/p>\n

We can expect a heavy focus on localization<\/strong> \u2014 with the government using these contracts to push for the local production of spare parts and maintenance activities to reduce the long-term FX drain from importing railway components.<\/p>\n
