The Egyptian government has begun a trial run of a new electronic system for fueling vehicles, starting in Port Said. The system aims to improve control over the distribution of petroleum products and prevent smuggling and leakage. The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced that the new system will be implemented in coordination with the Ministries of Interior and Communications and Information Technology.
The new electronic system relies on reading and collecting fuel data through an electronic label issued by traffic units affiliated with the Ministry of Interior. This allows for tracking the supply chain of petroleum products from production to consumption. The system is part of the state's plan for digital transformation and enhancing governance in the distribution and circulation of petroleum products.
The trial run of the new system will last for a month, giving car owners who have not yet installed the electronic label a chance to comply. The system will also be implemented in all fuel stations in Port Said. The Ministry of Petroleum emphasized that the new system is not related to pricing petroleum products or determining the quantities allocated to citizens.
The Ministry of Petroleum stated that the new system aims to monitor unusual consumption patterns and support monitoring and inspection efforts. This will help improve the efficiency of petroleum product distribution and reduce illegal practices. The system is expected to enhance control over fuel distribution and prevent smuggling.
