Shocker: Egypt is not a major automotive producer by global standards. Egypt was ranked as the 39th largest auto producer globally of the 40 nations surveyed covered in the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) global production statistics report for 2016. That’s one place better than in 2015 thanks to a 0.6% rise in the country’s overall motor vehicle production during the year. The increased owed mainly to a 5.4% y-o-y bump in heavy truck output to 25,300 units last year, despite a drop in passenger car production to 10,930 units from 12,000 units in 2015.
