CAIRO - 12 November 2022: Egyptian Minister of Transport Engineer Kamel Al-Wazir said that the ministry has more than one axis in preparing for the COP27 Climate Summit, currently held in Sharm el-Sheikh. The first is through 260 electric buses distributed on the roads in Sharm El Sheikh to transport delegations, and they are run by an Egyptian national company “Acta” in collaboration between the two companies; Super Jet Egypt and Transport Egypt. There are about 150 environmentally friendly electric cars, where there is an “application” on the conference page, so that attendees can request a ride. According to the minister, transportation is the second reason for polluting the environment as a result of carbon emissions, as transportation is responsible for 23-25% of carbon emissions in the atmosphere. For example, we have 500 linear kilometers in Greater Cairo only, between metro and monorail, the electric train or the electric reciprocating bus, and the fast electric train network is 2,000 km.
