The Ministry of Transport stated that express trains and regional trains of the fast electric train network are manufactured inside the Siemens company’s factory in Krefeld, Germany, according to the latest international technology systems, and the quantitative production of trains for Egypt is now taking place.
The new system of the fast electric train network in Egypt consists of 3 main lines with a length of 2000 km, where the first line is a line similar to the Suez Canal in its strategic importance, and it will link the city of Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea with the cities of Alexandria, El Alamein and Matrouh on the Mediterranean, with a length of 660 km.
The new high-speed railway network represents a reliable, safe and sustainable means of transport for citizens and freight to all parts of the country. This giant project also contributes to creating thousands of job opportunities, stimulating economic growth in Egypt, and improving the quality of life of millions of Egyptians every day.
