Looking for reliable trucks for sale in Egypt?

In each case, Schaften Automotive is your European partner for trucks, commercial vehicles and complete fleet solutions. From our headquarters in the Netherlands, we supply Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, Scania and other leading European brands to customers throughout Egypt. We arrange everything from A to Z, so you receive a truck that is ready for work.
More Than a Supplier: Your Sparring Partner from A to Z
Buying a truck for Egypt involves more than choosing a brand. Summer temperatures above 40°C, sand and dust during the khamaseen winds, long desert highways and dense city traffic in Cairo all affect how a vehicle performs. The axle configuration, engine, cooling, filtration and body make the difference between a truck that keeps running and one that spends time in the workshop. That is why we start by understanding your operation: what you transport, which routes you drive and how intensively your vehicles are used. Based on that, we advise you on the configuration that gives you the best value over the long term.
Once you have made your choice, we take care of the rest. That includes custom bodybuilding, technical modifications, export documentation, transport within Europe and international shipping to Egypt. You have one point of contact for the entire process, so you can focus on your business while we handle the details. Our stock of European A-brand trucks changes continuously, which means we can often offer short lead times.
Which Trucks Does Egypt Need? Solutions per Sector
Egypt has one of the largest economies in Africa. Construction, logistics, agriculture, mining and energy all create strong demand for commercial vehicles. Below you'll find the truck types our customers in Egypt ask for most often.
Construction and Mega Projects: New Cities, Roads and Bridges
Projects such as the New Administrative Capital, New Alamein City and the national roads programme have made Egypt one of the most active construction markets in the region. These projects need large numbers of 8x4 and 6x4 tippers, such as the Mercedes-Benz Arocs, MAN TGS and IVECO X-Way or T-Way. They also need concrete mixers, low-loaders for excavators and wheel loaders, and truck-mounted cranes. We configure these vehicles for intensive use on building sites and in hot, dusty conditions.
Logistics and Transport: The Suez Canal, Ports and Cairo
With the Suez Canal, the Suez Canal Economic Zone and ports such as Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said and Ain Sokhna, Egypt is a key logistics hub between Europe, Asia and Africa. Container transport and long routes between the ports, Cairo and Upper Egypt call for reliable tractor units with good fuel economy and comfortable cabins. Examples include the Scania R-series, MAN TGX, Mercedes-Benz Actros and IVECO S-Way. For distribution in Greater Cairo and Alexandria, we supply medium-duty trucks such as the IVECO Eurocargo, MAN TGM and Mercedes-Benz Atego, which combine payload with manoeuvrability in busy traffic.
Agriculture and Food: Cold Chain from the Nile Delta to Export
Egypt is one of the world's largest exporters of oranges and also exports large volumes of potatoes, grapes, onions and other fresh produce. The Nile Delta and newly reclaimed farmland in the desert supply both local markets and export ports. This requires refrigerated trucks that keep a stable temperature in extreme heat, as well as curtainsiders and flatbeds for crops and packaged goods. We supply the chassis and have the right refrigerated or dry body built to your specifications.
Mining, Quarries and Cement
Egypt's construction boom drives high demand for limestone, aggregates and cement. Phosphate is mined along the Red Sea coast and in the Western Desert, and gold is mined in the Eastern Desert. Trucks in this sector must work in extreme heat, sand and on unpaved haul roads. Popular choices are heavy 8x4 and 6x4 tippers such as the Mercedes-Benz Arocs, MAN TGS and IVECO X-Way. We complement these with bulk cement tankers, water bowsers, fuel trucks and mobile workshop vehicles.
Oil, Gas and Fuel Distribution
Oil and gas activities in the Western Desert and the Gulf of Suez, plus fuel distribution across a large country, require dependable tankers and support vehicles. We supply fuel tankers, crane trucks, vacuum trucks and heavy tractor units for equipment transport. For remote desert sites, we supply all-wheel-drive trucks such as the Mercedes-Benz Zetros and 4x4 or 6x6 versions of the MAN TGS and IVECO T-Way.
Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, Scania & More
Our range covers the leading European commercial vehicle brands:
- Mercedes-Benz: the Actros, Arocs, Atego and off-road Zetros, known for their durability.
- MAN: the TGX, TGS, TGM and TGL, with strong drivetrains for heavy work.
- IVECO: the S-Way, X-Way, T-Way, Eurocargo and Daily, covering everything from light vans to heavy construction trucks.
- Scania: a popular choice for long-distance transport.
Other brands are available on request. Because Egypt drives on the right, European left-hand-drive trucks are a natural fit. Not sure which brand or model suits your operation best? We compare the options with you objectively, based on your application, budget and service requirements.
Configured and Built for Egyptian Conditions
Extreme heat, sand, dust storms and long desert routes put extra strain on any vehicle. We help you choose the right specifications, including:
- heavy-duty air filtration with pre-cleaners against sand and fine dust;
- an upgraded cooling system and powerful air conditioning;
- the right axle configuration and suspension for your loads and routes;
- tyres suited to desert roads and building sites;
- an engine configuration suited to local diesel quality.
Through our network of European bodybuilders, we can deliver tippers, tankers, refrigerated bodies, crane installations and other specialised builds. Your truck leaves Europe fully prepared for the job it has to do in Egypt.
