Advanced Power Dynamics Inc. (APD), a rail engineering company based in London, Ontario, has signed a $269 million (USD) contract with Egyptian National Railways (ENR) to rehabilitate and upgrade 180 freight locomotives.
“This program will bring a significant fleet of legacy Henschel and AdTranz locomotives back into reliable freight service,” APD said. “It will anchor Canadian expertise in a long-term rail-modernization effort in Egypt, supporting localization of maintenance and spare-parts manufacturing in partnership with Egyptian industry, and create sustained engineering, project-management and supply chain activity from our base in London, Ontario.
The agreement was formally showcased at the TransMEA 2025 transport exhibition in Cairo, with representatives from Egypt’s Ministry of Transport and the Canadian Embassy in Egypt in attendance.
