Toyota claimed the runner-up spot with 1,524 units and a 17.7% share, while Golden Dragon secured third place after selling 1,481 buses — a razor-thin margin of just 43 vehicles separates the two. The podium battle was tighter than expected.

Fourth place went to Shineray with a 7.5% share and 649 units, followed by Chevrolet in fifth at 6.6% with 567 vehicles. Mitsubishi took sixth place with a 6.3% share, recording 544 units in a tightly contested mid-table segment.

Mid-Table and Lower Ranks: Market Dynamics

Suzuki landed seventh with a 5.3% share totaling 455 vehicles, while Foton ranked eighth with 4.8% and 412 buses sold. The numbers show a clear drop-off in volume after the top five.

Mercedes MCV occupied tenth place with a 3.4% share and 293 units, followed by Volvo in eleventh with a marginal 0.5% share — just 39 buses. The wide gap between leaders and laggards raises questions about the future of smaller players in Egypt's public transport sector.

King Long's strong showing reflects growing demand for public and tourist buses across Egyptian governorates. The competitive landscape is shifting, and the second half of 2026 will likely bring even fiercer battles.
