Renault will double its Casablanca plant’s capacity
- Renault will double the capacity of its Casablanca Morocco site by 2022. The plant, which currently produces up to 80,000 cars annually (76,632 in 2017), will then be able to produce up to 160,000 cars a year.
- The models currently produced on this site are the Dacia Logan (39,228 units) and Dacia Sandero (37,404 units), in addition to the 300,000 cars manufactured at the more recent Tangier site. The Tangier plant produced 166,367 Sandero, 91,815 Dokker and 41,467 Lodgy in 2017.
- The production capacity of the Tangier site is currently 340,000 cars per year and Renault, planning an increase in sales of Dacia Logan and Sandero models in the region, has preferred to increase the capacity of Casablanca rather than to saturate the capacity of Tangier. In 2022, Renault's production capacity in Morocco will total 500,000 units per year (160,000 in Casablanca and 340,000 in Tangier).
- The vast majority of cars produced by Renault in Morocco are exported, especially to Europe, but the manufacturer will have to deal with assembly plants located in Algeria (Oran), Turkey (Bursa) and Romania (Pitesti), who also produce Logan for the markets of the Maghreb, the Near East and Eastern Europe.
- The Moroccan market reached 169,000 units in 2017, versus 94,000 in Algeria and 47,000 in Tunisia.
