Egypt Energy Storage Container Train

Egypt's rail system is one of the most extensive in Africa, with a generally heavier focus on its passenger services, and three freight trains per direction per day in the GCA with the rest dedicated to passenger trains. The Cairo Alexandria Trade Logistics Development Project will implement a railway bypass to the congested GCA.

The operational bypass will also allow 15 container trains per day by 2030, and as demand increases, 50 trains by 2060 to this dry port. Additional freight trains will flow between the Alexandria Port, Upper Egypt, and the Red Sea.

Sustainable transport projects, many of which are carried out in cooperation with Egypt's development partners and private sector, carry much significance in terms of driving the country's economic growth and empowering Egyptian citizens across the country, connecting bigger cities and business districts, and providing more job opportunities.

The bypass will provide freight trains between the Alexandria Sea Port and the newly constructed 6th of October Dry Port, with an alternative route to the west of Greater Cairo. The operational bypass will also allow 15 container trains per day by 2030, and as demand increases, 50 trains by 2060 to this dry port.

The EXPRESS ELECTRIC TRAIN is a project to construct three lines of a High-speed electric railway train to transport people and goods in Egypt with a total length of about 1800 km with the participation of more than 10 international companies.

The Cairo Alexandria Trade Logistics Development Project will support national efforts to transition to lower carbon transportation and ensure the safe and fast delivery of people and goods; a key element in our growing economy, " said Dr. Rania A. Al-Mashat, Egypt's Minister of International Cooperation.
