Algeria –Land transport unions in Algeria called for the urgent opening of the import of vehicles and spare parts, warning of the worsening conditions in the sector in light of the aging of the transport fleet and the rise in traffic accidents, stressing that renewing the national park has become a necessity to ensure the safety of travelers and the continuity of activity.
The National Union of Transporters sent a letter to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune under the title “A National Call to Save the Land Transport Sector and Protect the Lives of Algerians,” in which it demanded allowing the import of buses, taxis, and trucks transporting goods, in addition to original spare parts, tires, and technical equipment for professional vehicles.
These demands came after a bus overturning accident in the state of Boumerdes, which claimed the lives of 28 people and injured 38 others, in an accident that brought to the forefront the controversy over the obsolescence of transportation and the lack of spare parts, in addition to the recurrence of fatal accidents on Algerian roads.
The union confirmed that a large number of transporters were forced to stop working due to worn-out vehicles and the absence of appropriate professional means, considering that the transport sector has reached a critical stage that requires urgent decisions to be taken instead of simply forming committees to study the files.
She stressed that the solution begins with renewing the transport fleet, ensuring the availability of spare parts and tires that conform to standards, with strict application of traffic safety laws, to reduce the human and economic losses incurred by the sector.
In the same context, the National Transport Organization had previously called on the government to urgently provide original spare parts and tires, noting that the majority of public transport vehicles are more than 20 years old, which exacerbates the risks of breakdowns and accidents.
In August 2025, the Algerian government announced a program to supply 10,000 new buses and withdraw buses that have exceeded 30 years of service, in addition to importing millions of tires to cover the market’s needs. However, professionals confirm that the sector still suffers from a lack of means and high operating costs.
