Egypt could see locally assembled Russian vehicles

Russia is keen to expand its manufacturing partnerships with Egypt, especially when it comes to vehicle assembly, Russian Trade and Industry Minister Denis Manturov said.

She made these comments during a meeting with counterpart Nevine Gamea in Moscow last week, the Trade Ministry said in a statement.

Egypt has plans to become an auto assembly hub: The first 100 locally-assembled electric vehicles under a partnership between El Nasr Automotive and China’s Dongfeng should be ready by July-August 2022, before hitting the road starting September of the same, Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik said earlier this month. Mitsubishi and Mercedes-Benz have also announced plans to begin locally assembling select passenger car models.
