In 2018, the Transmashholding-Hungary consortium secured a contract worth more than €1bn ($1.17bn) to supply passenger car trains to Egyptian National Railways (ENR). The Dunakeszi plant is also a participant in the contract.

Last year, TMH prototype passenger coach built for ENR was sent to Hungary to undergo certification tests.

The prototype coach previously underwent factory static tests conducted by the Tver Manufacturing Institute and the KTI Research Institute experts from Hungary.

These tests assessed the strength of the bogie frames and the car body, as well as ventilation systems, electrical equipment, toilets and water supply.

TMH Hungary is a joint venture between TMH subsidiary TMH International, which specialises in international projects, and Hungarian company Magyar Vagon Zrt.
