The Minister of Military Production in Egypt told Sky News Arabia that the production of the new car will cover the Egyptian needs and export to a number of friendly and brotherly countries at a later stage, while meeting the needs of African countries in particular.
Morsi added that it is scheduled to produce several different models of the "pickup" car, which will be an Arab manufacturing model, which we aspire to market globally.
The Egyptian minister points out that the cars manufactured by the new company will encourage the trend towards clean energy, by working with fuels that include a mixture of natural gas, which is known as dual fuel.
This cooperation also comes, according to the minister, within the framework of implementing the strategy of settling the auto industry in Egypt and making the most of the resources and mineral wealth available in the country and within the plans to expand the use of natural gas as a fuel for cars and benefit from the availability and new gas discoveries in Egypt recently.
The car with a "double cab" can transport a load of 750 kg, and is equipped with an advanced navigation system, air conditioning, screen, radio, rear camera, multifunction steering wheel, electric windows, and interior control in the exterior mirrors.
The pickup is also equipped with a 5-speed transmission, there is an anti-lock brake system, a brake force distribution system, and 2 optional airbags.
The car has two gas cylinders with a capacity of 170 liters and a distance of 350 km, and a gasoline tank of 35 liters with a distance of 300 km, with an average fuel consumption of 11.8 cubic meters per 100 km of gas, and 12.3 liters per 100 km of gasoline.
The car is also characterized by the availability of the highest engine capacity for pickup cars in the market, in addition to the ability to work on various types of roads (crowded - open - dirt - bumpy).
The tests that were conducted on the "double cab" pickup vehicle included a 25,000 km run on various Egyptian roads during the past three months.
The EM "Pickup" obtained the European "E-Mark" certificate, which enables it to be exported to a number of countries around the world.
Arabic integration
Dr. Majid Al-Azazi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Holding Company, MGallery, is considered the first Arab woman in the Middle East to break into the automotive industry, and previously produced the first Emirati SUV under the name "Al Reem".
In an interview with Sky News Arabia, El-Azazy expressed her happiness at the establishment of the Egyptian-Emirati Automotive Manufacturing Company, stressing the need for integration between Arab expertise in deepening local manufacturing, especially when the partner is a giant industrial entity such as the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production.
The Emirati businesswoman pointed out that her company specialized in the production and manufacture of cars in the United Arab Emirates has great experience in establishing and managing vehicle companies and factories.
Al-Azizi explains that the semi-truck will be produced according to the best modern technical standards, and will not be less than its global counterparts; Extensive studies were conducted to implement the project, before the company was established and it was agreed to start manufacturing the pick-up in Egypt.
It is planned, according to Al-Azizi, that the production capacity of cooperation between Egypt and the UAE will reach 12,000 cars annually to meet the needs of the local and African market, with quantitative production starting in the first half of 2022.
