Renault has started production of the Logan in Tangier
- We saw in a previous Auto-Analyse 2022-12 that automobile production at the Renault assembly site in Oran fell in 2020 and 2021, from 60,012 units in 2019, to 754 units in 2020 and 5,208 units in 2021. This fall is not specifically linked to Covid since the factories in Europe and in other regions of the world which have been victims of Covid have been inactive for only a few months and not for the whole year.
- This fall would rather be due to problems related to the integration rate deemed too low by the Algerian government. He had decided not to continue the activity of the "screwdriver" factories set up by Renault, Volkswagen and Hyundai-Kia which had agreed to produce vehicles in Algeria following the Algerian government's decision to stop imports. from abroad. However, following the protest of the Algerian government on these "screwdriver" factories, Volkswagen and Hyundai-Kia stopped their assembly activity in Algeria last year.
- There remains Renault which, it is true, has been the leader of the Algerian market for decades and which for the moment is continuing to assemble vehicles in Oran at low rates. It is however interesting to note that the Moroccan site of Tangier started production of the Logan in 2021 (40,000 units) for the first time since its opening, without there being any drop in production at the Romanian site of Pitesti, which means that there may be a connection between the virtual shutdown of Logan production in Oran and the start of Logan production in Tangier. These models could for example be exported to Algeria.
