Morocco is poised to become Africa's largest vehicle producer, overtaking South Africa, which has long been the continent's undisputed leader. As reported by Le Matin, the study projects that vehicle production in Morocco will reach approximately 614,000 units this year, while in South Africa it will fall to 591,000 units. In addition, the Moroccan industry benefits from the interest of Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which seek to maintain their access to the European market. On the other hand, South Africa faces significant challenges that are holding back its production. In contrast, South Africa faces a less favourable operating environment, marked by challenges related to emissions, labour, trade and transport issues.
