Two reception operations, totaling 559 buses, were carried out within 48 hours in Algeria, through deliveries at the port of Djen Djen and the port of Mostaganem, as part of the national program to modernize public transport, which plans to acquire 10,000 buses to renew the national fleet of public passenger transport.
As part of renewing the aforementioned national fleet, the Algerian industrial company Tirsam announced the arrival this Wednesday of its first batch of TS9 model buses at the port of Djen Djen (Jijel). According to the company, this first delivery includes 176 buses, each with a capacity of 70 passengers, meeting international standards for quality, safety, and comfort.
The company also indicated that a second ship carrying 262 buses of other models was due to arrive the same evening. Tirsam further emphasized that these buses were imported without profit margin to be offered at accessible prices. This operation is part of a broader program launched by Tirsam involving the importation of 1,000 buses from China.
This announcement accompanies the communication regarding the importation of 3,000 buses from the Chinese brand Higer, reflecting the dynamic partnership with China in the field of public transport. In parallel, the Military Manufacturing Directorate of the Ministry of National Defense, through the Vehicle Industry Development Establishment (EDIV), received this Monday 384 new buses at the port of Mostaganem. It should be recalled that, in partnership with suppliers from the People’s Republic of China and the Federal Republic of Germany, EDIV signed a contract for the importation of 6,800 buses. The bus importation operation is expected to conclude by the end of March 2026.
