Majestatea Sa Regele Mohammed al VI-aa inagurat astăzi noua fabrica Renault-Nissanîn Tanger, Maroc, la o ceremonie specială la care au participat Carlos Ghosn, presedintele Renault si Nissan.
Noua fabrica Renault-Nissan din Tangier reprezintă o investiţie de 1 miliard €. Noua capacitate de producţie anuală de 400.000 de vehicule va juca un rol în asigurarea succesului continuu de gama de intrare în întreaga lume. Fabrica din Tangier este in sudul bazinului Mării Mediterane, fiind cea mai mare fabrica de automobile, cu un total de personal estimat a mai mult de 6.000 până în 2015. În plus, pentru a permite volume mari de producţie, noua fabrica va permite sa extinda gama de intrare, împreună cu modelele fabricate la Pitesti (România) şi SOMACA (Casablanca, Maroc), fabrici care functioneaza în prezent la capacitate maximă. Aceasta va asigura grupului Renault siguranta ca va satisface cererea clientilor sai tot mai mare de vehicule la nivel de pret acceptabil, care sunt apreciate pentru valoarea lor in comparatie cu pretul lor.
Avand si experienta NOKIA de la Jucu/Cluj ne punem intrebarea : ce vor face cei de la Renault-Nissan in viitor in Romania ?
Renault's presence in Morocco dates back more than 80 years. Today, its geographical location is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea at the heart of the Tangier Med Port area which benefits not only from an extensive network of competitive suppliers, but also from a pool of highly qualified staff with trained to modern automotive production techniques. "Renault and Nissan share the Kingdom of Morocco’s high ambitions for industrial development,” said Carlos Ghosn at the inauguration ceremony. “Thanks to the mobilisation of Renault and its partners, as well as to the unfailing support of the Moroccan government, our plant in Tangier sets a new global standard for the automobile industry."
A competitive production facilityAlong with the Chennai plant, in India, the new factory in Tangier will make a key contribution to the global growth of both groups. Although controlled by Renault, it will apply the Alliance Production Way (APW) which is a fusion of the best manufacturing practices employed by Renault and Nissan.An ambitious staff training programme has been put into place to ensure the highest possible standards with regard to quality and performance. To provide training for factory staff and suppliers alike, Renault and Morocco jointly founded the IFMIA (Institut de Formation aux Métiers de l’Automobile) which is funded entirely by the Moroccan state. Meanwhile, Renault’s Global Training Center (GTC) in Flins, France, has provided training for 168 people involved with the project (training, management and technical staff). Impact on the environment reduced to unprecedented levels for a body assembly plantDesigned from the start to meet the standards of the Renault Group's environmental policy, the facility is the fruit of a unique partnership between the Kingdom of Morocco, Renault and Veolia Environnement. CO2 emissions have been slashed by 98 percent compared to an equivalent factory with a production capacity of 400,000 vehicles per year, a feat which represents an annual saving of 135,000 tonnes of CO2. The factory won’t discharge any industrial wastewater into the environment, either while the total amount of water necessary for manufacturing has been reduced by 70 percent. This result was achieved thanks not only to innovative production processes, but also to the employment of renewable energies and optimised water recycling management. This work was recently recognised by the European Union which awarded Renault at its fifth Sustainable Energy Europe Awards in 2011 (‘Production’ category). Renault in MoroccoRenault has marketed vehicles in Morocco since 1928 and is today the country’s leading carmaker. In 2011, the Renault Group enjoyed a market share of 37 percent with two brands, namely Dacia (market leader) and Renault (number two). The group also owns the biggest automotive sales network in Morocco, with 64 sales outlets, while 97.4 percent of customers report that they are satisfied with the quality of Renault and Dacia’s sales service, and 92.4 percent state they are satisfied with the brands’ after-sales service. Renault also has a factory in Casablanca (SOMACA, an 80 percent Renault-owned subsidiary) which manufactures Kangoo (cars and vans), Logan and Sandero.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance is a strategic partnership between Paris-based Renault and Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan, which together sell one in 10 cars worldwide. The companies, which have been strategic partners since 1999, sold 8.03 million cars in 2011, including those from Russian partner AvtoVAZ. Since its founding 12 years ago, the cross-cultural Renault-Nissan Alliance has expanded significantly, particularly into emerging markets. |
