en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ghana has taken delivery of the first 100 Egyptian-made buses as part of a $200 million contract that will provide a total of 300 vehicles for the country's public transport network, marking a deepening of transport and industrial cooperation between Ghana and Egypt.

The handover ceremony for the buses was held in Accra, the capital of Ghana, with representatives from the Egyptian Embassy in attendance. The vehicles will be operated by Metro Mass Transit, one of Ghana's largest public transport operators, to enhance bus service capacity and increase passenger carrying capacity. The agreement was facilitated through an Egyptian vehicle manufacturer and its local partner, Mansour Company.

Ghana's Vice President welcomed the arrival of the buses, describing it as a significant step in the country's efforts to modernize public transport infrastructure. The new vehicles are expected to improve service availability, expand fleet size, and ease commuting congestion in major urban centers. While welcoming the cooperation, the Vice President also expressed hope for an increased proportion of locally manufactured components in future vehicle orders, reflecting Ghana's broader goal of strengthening domestic industrial participation.

The project is part of a series of initiatives aimed at realizing Ghana's vision of building a more productive 24-hour economy through improved transport connectivity and public services. Cooperation between the two countries is also expected to extend to other transport sectors. Ghana's Minister of Transport stated that future collaboration could cover projects in the railway, maritime, and aviation sectors, highlighting the growing bilateral cooperation opportunities in transport and logistics.

This delivery marks the first phase of a 300-bus procurement plan and also underscores Egypt's expanding role as a supplier of transport equipment and industrial products in the African market.
