EGP 1,117,000 less to run your fleet each year on electric, 54% lower than on diesel
Lower running cost than diesel54%
Saved per vehicle, each yearEGP 112,000
Saved over 8 years , before financingEGP 8,936,000
Diesel fleet
EGP 2,073,000 a year
Electric fleet
EGP 956,000 a year
Add the upfront cost from a quotation to see how long the savings take to cover it.
177 t of CO₂ a year from your fleet on diesel
Charged from Egypt's grid, the same fleet on electric would account for about 91.2 t : 85.7 t less each year (48% ), or 685 t over 8 years .

Diesel counts exhaust CO₂ only (2.68 kg per litre), while the grid factor (0.563 kg CO₂e per kWh, Egypt 2025) also counts how the electricity is produced, so this comparison understates the electric benefit.
Estimates for comparison only, not a quotation. They count 300 operating days a year and typical energy use and maintenance for each vehicle type; results depend on routes, driving style, loads, tariffs and prices at the time.
