CAIRO – 15 November 2020: Egypt received earlier this week 17 third-class dynamic-ventilation Transmashholding railcars for the total of units delivered of that category rises to 138. The delivery time of that batch got delayed as Egypt had requested a modification, which is installing windows that reduce sunlight. It is noted that Egypt receives every month a batch of 35 railcars of various categories as part of a €1.02-billion deal to purchase 1,300 railcars. The contract consists of 500 third-class air-conditioned railcars, 180 second-class air-conditioned railcars, 90 first-class air-conditioned railcars, 500 third-class dynamic-ventilation railcars, and 30 air-conditioned cabooses. In September, General Electric delivered to Egypt the last batch of 110 train engines as per a deal worth $602.05-million.
