Stellantis has announced that it will invest more than 200 million euros in the production of four models of the Fiat brand in Algeria. These cars are assembled at the new plant in Tafraoui, Oran, with construction to be completed in August this year. In addition, the Stellar Group will land on the Algerian market with six new Fiat brand cars: 500 Hybrid, 500X, Tipo, Doblò, Scudo and Ducato. To this end, by the end of 2023 the sales and after-sales network will cover 28 provinces in Algeria.
The production of the first Fiat 500 will leave the Algerian plant for the end of 2023. Three years later, Stellantis predicts that around 2,000 new local jobs will have been created and the plant will produce a capacity of 90,000 vehicles. When fully completed, there will be four Fiat models.
The Fiat 500 will be manufactured first
“Algeria is one of the main contributors to the Stellar Aude Set 2030 strategic plan in the Middle East and Africa. This launch of the Fiat brand paves the way to the end of the Stellant Company in the Middle East and Africa to reach one million vehicles sold in the region by 2030 with 70% of the production regional autonomy, “Stellant confirmed.
“We are celebrating the return to Algeria of Fiat, an emblematic brand with one of the five longest car traditions in the world. The D Hybrid will be the first Fiat to be built in Algeria, soon to be followed by the Doblò and, in a few years, a completely new model in Algeria, which is still up to our designers is, explained Olivier François, CEO of the Fiat brand.
