Now Electric Cars are Conquering Egypt

The development service provider FEV has signed a development contract with the Egyptian El Nasr Automotive Manufacturing Company. Together they want to develop the country's first electric vehicle by 2023 with production in Egypt.

The scope of FEV's long-term strategic partnership with El Nasr Automotive Manufacturing Company (NASCO) includes supplier negotiations, the establishment of a local supplier network and vehicle development for the sedan with a purely battery-electric drive.

»We see great potential in North Africa for the development of sustainable e-vehicles and are striving to expand our expertise in this area locally,« said Prof. Stefan Pischinger, CEO of FEV Group. Just last year, FEV announced the construction of Africa's first automotive development and test centre in Oued Zem, Morocco, together with its joint venture partner UTAC. 

In line with the associated claim to develop sustainable and safe mobility for the African continent, the World Climate Conference COP27 will be held in Egypt in November this year. Among other things, it will set emission limits to be achieved by 2045. Electromobility makes an important contribution to achieving the 1.5 degree target.
