ALBAWABA - The Egyptian government has announced an agreement to manufacture the first amphibious bus locally, which can fit normal roads and float on water at the same time.
The amphibious bus project aimed at boosting the tourism transport sector in Egypt.
The amphibious bus was announced during the International Exhibition and Conference on Smart Transport, which was inaugurated by Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Sunday.

Madbouly and Ronald Bosch, CEO of Siemens, also inspected the first Velaro electric high-speed train to arrive in Egypt, part of a fleet of high-speed trains that will operate on the high-speed rail network.
In addition, the exhibition featured several locally manufactured buses, some of which are exported, reflecting the progress made by the national industry in this sector.
