  • The group has launched a recruitment drive for 3,100 roles at Kenitra and earmarked €702 million for supplier investments to strengthen Morocco’s automotive ecosystem.
  • New production lines are set to begin three-wheeled electric vehicle output imminently and to introduce mini-hybrid powertrains and the Smart Car platform from late 2026.
