This line will connect Al-Sokhna on the Red Sea to Marsa Matrouh on the Mediterranean Sea through the New Administrative Capital of Cairo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new rail link will benefit not only major cities, but smaller municipalities and suburbs as well. The project will help increase social mobility, create new economic opportunities for local companies, and improve access to jobs, health, and educational facilities. Freight transport between the ports and the interior of the country will also be more efficient and environmentally friendly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading headline-h4\" id=\"h\"><strong>German rail expertise is a hot commodity around the world<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the high-speed rail project in Egypt, DB International Operations further expands its contribution to sustainable and efficient mobility worldwide, drawing on valuable experience gained from major rail partnerships in India and Uruguay. DB IO will take over the operation of infrastructure and vehicles for high-speed, regional and freight transport and maintenance for stations and depots with its local partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsewedyelectric.com\/en\/default\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elsewedy Electric.<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading headline-h4\" id=\"h-big-benefits-for-society-and-the-environment\"><strong>Big benefits for society and the environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Egypt is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. According to forecasts, the population will grow from 105 million to around 160 million by 2050. The new high-capacity rail system will play a crucial role in the sustainable expansion of public transport infrastructure and will serve as a regional flagship project for an eco-friendly modal shift in passenger and freight transport.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rail operations are set to begin in the coming years, moving up to one million passengers and 8,500 tons of goods daily. The project is also intended to improve road safety and reduce carbon emissions since electrified rail uses more renewable energy sources than bus, car, and non-electrified rail transport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the signing of the Operations and Maintenance contract at the TransMEA exhibition 2025, the partnership between DB International Operations, Elsewedy Electric, and the National Authority for Tunnels has officially been sealed. This marks the transition from planning to implementation \u2014 and the beginning of a long-term collaboration to deliver world-class rail operations and maintenance for Egypt\u2019s first high-speed network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s note: This article was updated in November 2025.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-grid  layout-grid layout-grid--outer-margin-large layout-grid--expanded\"><div class=\"grid grid--child-margin-large\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-6-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-linked-items  wp-block-dbec-core-layout-linked-items--expanded\"><section class=\"layout-linked-items\"><div class=\"layout-linked-items__header\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"column is-6-small is-3-medium\"><h2 class=\"layout-linked-items__headline\">More news<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"column is-6-small is-3-medium\"><div class=\"layout-linked-items__wrapper-link layout-linked-items__wrapper-link--top\"><a class=\"layout-linked-items__link\" href=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/en\/news\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Back to overview page<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"layout-linked-items__inner\"><div class=\"related-posts\"><div class=\"related-posts__post\"><a class=\"base-card\" href=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/en\/updates\/jahresendgruss-2025-der-db-e-c-o-group-2\/\"><figure class=\"base-card__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-768x528.jpg\" class=\"base-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jahresendgru\u00df\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1330px) calc(((1200px - 35px * 5) * (2 \/ 6)) + (35px * (2 - 1))), (min-width: 1024px) calc((((100vw - 130px) - 35px * 5) * (2 \/ 6)) + (35px * (2 - 1))), (min-width: 768px) calc((((100vw - 130px) - 35px * 5) * (3 \/ 6)) + (35px * (3 - 1))), calc(100vw - 60px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-520x357.jpg 520w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-1280x879.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame-1920x1319.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DB_ECO_JAHRESENDFILM-2025_-Frame.jpg 1996w\" \/><div class=\"label-reference\" data-image-reference=\"Jahresendgru\u00df\"><\/div><\/figure><h3 class=\"base-card__title\">Year-End Greetings from DB E.C.O.
