Renault Group Maroc captured a 37% domestic market share and exported 167 000 vehicles during the first half of the year, reinforcing its industrial dominance in North Africa. Production across its plants neared 200.000 units, with upcoming manufacturing lines slated to build the new hybrid Dacia Sandero starting in September.
The Bottom Line
- Export Volume: Renault Group Maroc exported 167 000 vehicles in the first six months, anchoring the parent company’s Mediterranean export strategy.
- Market Penetration: Domestic registrations secured a 37% market share, underscoring robust local consumer demand alongside export output.
