Egypt begins trial electronic fuel system in Port Said

Egypt has begun a one-month trial of an electronic fuel system in Port Said using traffic-issued vehicle stickers, ahead of a ban on fueling without them.

• Egypt began Sunday a one-month trial of an electronic fuel supply system in Port Said requiring vehicles to carry electronic stickers issued by traffic units.
• The system monitors the fuel supply chain from storage to final consumers through the electronic sticker.
• Ministry of Petroleum spokesman Mahmoud Naji said the system aims to monitor fuel distribution and will not impose additional restrictions or alter fuel pricing.
• The electronic sticker costs about 95 Egyptian pounds, and drivers who fail to install it face legal penalties.
