Deepening Local Manufacturing and Adding Value
The minister explained that the project aligns with the state's vision to deepen local manufacturing and increase added value, especially in priority industries, foremost among them the automotive sector and clean energy vehicles. He emphasized that the government pays special attention to this sector as a key driver of industrial growth.
Aiming for 100,000 Cars by 2030
Hashem highlighted that the automotive industry is at the forefront of targeted sectors within the national program to advance car manufacturing, which aims to reach local production of 100,000 cars by 2030, supported by an integrated package of incentives and investment facilities. The minister pointed out that deepening local manufacturing is the main goal during the current phase, noting that the partnership between Roxx Motor and the El-Arab El-Sewedy Group comes at an ideal time to create a real breakthrough in the Egyptian car market, whether by meeting local market needs or enhancing export capabilities and bringing the Egyptian product to global markets.
The minister called on the new company to develop a clear plan to increase the local component ratio and added value in parallel with production expansion, contributing to the transfer of modern technology and the development of local supply chains. He expressed his aspiration to see tangible results from this cooperation through deepening local industry, transferring advanced technology, and creating new opportunities for growth and investment in the Egyptian automotive sector.
