The Egyptian National Railways (ENR) will tender contracts to improve the railway transport services between Egypt’s capital, Cairo, and Alexandria. Tendering for the new contract is expected to begin in the Q 4 of 2015.
Egyptian National Railways intends using the proceeds of a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for a project to improve the quality of train services between Cairo and Alexandria and potentially also between Cairo and Aswan by providing new, energy-efficient rolling stock to replace the existing ageing fleet.
The proposed project, which has a total estimated cost of EUR 126 million, will require the procurement of the new train sets (locomotives plus carriages) and incidental services (supply and maintenance contract).
