Renault Tanger Méditerranée is a manufacturing facility operated by the Renault Group, situated in Malloussa near the city of Tangier.
History
The factory commenced operations on February 9, 2012, with its inauguration led by King Mohammed VI alongside then-CEO of Renault Group, Carlos Ghosn. The development of the site involved an investment nearing one billion euros.
This plant manufactures models such as the Dokker, Express, Sandero (starting from September 2013), and Lodgy. These vehicles are mainly intended for domestic Moroccan markets and exports, predominantly to Europe (with 90–95% directed to the EU), as well as to Africa and the MENA region. On July 10, 2017, the facility celebrated producing its one millionth vehicle within five years since opening.
Situated within Tangier’s free trade zone, the factory enjoys duty-free access to the EU; however, it is restricted from exporting to nations covered by the Agadir Agreement.
The Institut de Formation aux Métiers de l'industrie Automobile (IFMIA), created one year prior to production start and financed by the Moroccan government, is essential in providing specialized training for the workforce. Additionally, this plant achieves CO₂ emissions that are 98% lower compared to similar factories.
