The Nissan motor company has announced plans to launch seven new models in Africa over the next year. This after the company last month revealed that it would cut the number of models it made globally and improve efficiency after the pandemic triggered its first annual loss in 11 years, IOL has reported.
According to the report, the Japanese automaker will expand its SUV and cross-over portfolio in Africa with seven new models, of which four will be in the SUV (sports utility vehicle) category.
Quoted in the report Guillaume Cartier, chairman of Nissan’s Africa, Middle East, and India (AMI) region said: “We are going to locally produce the new Navara model and we are also looking at export.”
