Egypt’s First Electric Transport Vehicle Launches This May

Cargo, the first electric vehicle designed for transporting goods in Egypt, will hit the streets this May.

The announcement was made by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT), which led the production of Cargo as an alternative to motor tricycles.

AASTMT is also working on a second electric vehicle, a passenger car that will be able to accommodate up to five passengers. This second model is due for launch within the next six months.

The energy-efficient vehicles will be equipped with solar cells, and are designed to have a lower operating cost compared to gas-powered vehicles.

The Cargo vehicles will be available at a starting price of EGP 95,000.
