Work on the Renault-Nissan Alliance plant starts next month on a 300-hectare site inside the Tangiers Mediterranean special economic zone.


The site will eventually have capacity of 400,000 vehicles per year (200,000 from 2010), providing the Renault-Nissan Alliance with one of the largest manufacturing complexes in the Mediterranean.


The EUR600m investment will create 6,000 direct jobs and 30,000 indirect posts. The plant will build low-cost cars on Renault’s Logan platform and Nissan-designed light commercial vehicles.


Renault has operated in Morocco since 1928 and has assembled vehicles in the SOMACA plant (owned 80% by Renault and 20% by PSA) since 1966.
