Representing an investment of €400m, the new line makes the plant the largest in Africa and will increase the site’s output capacity to 340,000 vehicles a year, starting in 2014, and will produce the Dacia Sandero and Dacia Sandero Stepway. 

‘Today’s ceremony is extremely important to us. It illustrates Renault’s willingness to meet its commitments and Moroccan Authorities’ ambition to develop the automotive industry in Morocco. I am sure this second production line will produce great quality Sandero vehicles and will be a strong testimony of the ‘made in Morocco’ label globally,’ said Jacques Prost, managing director of the Renault Morocco group.

The Tangier plant was inaugurated on 9th February 2012 by HM King Mohammed VI and in the presence of Carlos Ghosn, President of the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
