On June 18, 2026, CTM and Transdev Maroc officially announced the formation of their joint ventures under the brand Issal, dedicated to urban and intercity passenger transport in Morocco. The partnership was formalized during a signing ceremony in Casablanca, attended by key executives from both companies.
The Issal joint ventures will operate a fleet of modern buses and coaches, aiming to improve connectivity and service quality in major Moroccan cities. The initial phase focuses on routes in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech, with plans to expand to other regions by 2027.
CTM, a leading Moroccan transport company, brings extensive local expertise, while Transdev Maroc contributes international experience in public transport management. The collaboration is expected to create over 500 jobs and reduce average commute times by 15% in targeted areas.
This initiative aligns with Morocco's National Strategy for Sustainable Development, promoting eco-friendly transport solutions. The Issal fleet will include electric and hybrid vehicles, reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 20% compared to traditional buses.
