Renault Tanger Méditerranée is an industrial site of the Renault Group, located in the town of Malloussa near Tangier.[2]
History
The factory was opened on February 9, 2012,[3][4] inaugurated by the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, in the presence of Renault Group CEO Carlos Ghosn.[5] Around one billion euros were invested in the construction of the plant.[5]
It produces the Dokker, Express, Sandero (since September 2013)[4][6] and Lodgy,[7] sold in Morocco or exported mainly to Europe (about 90 to 95% to the EU),[8] Africa and the MENA region. On July 10, 2017, the plant celebrated its one millionth car produced in five years since opening.[9]
The company is based in the free trade zone of the port city of Tangier.[10] Due to the EU duty-free status, the vehicles cannot be exported to the countries of the Agadir Agreement.[10]
A year before production began, the IFMIA (Institut de Formation aux Métiers de l'industrie Automobile), funded by the Moroccan state, was opened and plays a key role in training employees.[4][5][11] CO₂ emissions are said to be 98% lower compared to a similar plant.[11]
