ICE replacement
Owners of today’s cars move across on the published pound price. This is the domestic engine from 2027 to 2031.
Presidential decree brief · 2027–2076
Egypt builds the HyperHybrid. The decree is ready.
Volkswagen Group and Jaguar Land Rover come in as shareholders and bring the lines. BYD, Geely and FAW complete a plant of five manufacturers. Climate, the Egyptian price and the capital saving are already in the file.

Climate
A climate-positive car
The wheels are electric. A quiet generator makes the electricity. On Sub Zero methanol, with carbon locked as graphite, the plant takes more CO₂ from the air than the exhaust returns.

What the decree authorizes
Three decisions. One instrument. The state is not asked to raise a factory from an empty site.
01
The national programme
EGSVMC is named a national HyperHybrid industry. The Arab Organization for Industrialization holds the sovereign thirty percent.
02
The lines
Tooling from Zwickau, Hanover, Emden and Audi Neckarsulm transfers free of customs duty, and is installed in three to twelve months.
03
The fuel and the price
Sub Zero methanol uses the national fuel network. The published cash price starts at EGP 150,423 with a trade-in, through 2030.

From a customer to a national partner
| Item | Was | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Role of JLR & VW | External OEM customers | Shareholders + industrial partners |
| Source of early tooling | EGSVMC capex | Transferred closing JLR & VW lines |
| Capital intensity 2027–31 | Full new tooling | Materially lower in-kind contribution |
Four sources of demand fill the plant
02
New buyers
A growing population, and more households with a car. The floor for a new car is EGP 240,677, a Panda Mini, through 2030. Nothing in the passenger range sits below it.
03
OEM platforms
Volkswagen and Jaguar Land Rover put their own platforms under the opening years. That is what makes 2027 an industrial decision.
04
Regional export
The first cars leave for export in 2030, thirty-two thousand of them, and the line reaches 878 thousand by 2036.
The instrument
Feasible. Attractive. Ready to authorize.
Shareholder tooling, a €6.3 billion saving, five manufacturer platforms and a published Egyptian price form one path: production from 2027, and a full ramp by 2036.
