Name of the Project
Nissan Rosslyn plant expansion.

Location
Rosslyn, Pretoria, South Africa.

Project Owner/s
Nissan South Africa.

Project Description
Nissan is preparing its facility in Rosslyn to produce the next generation Nissan Navara pickup, including the single-cab, double-cab and cab-and-a-half variants of the model.

The Navara will join the NP200 and NP300 models, which are built at Rosslyn and sold in the domestic market and up to 45 Pan-African countries.

The investment in Navara production will result in further modernisation of the Rosslyn plant, including a new, flexible production line and additional facilities.

Depending on market conditions, it is expected that Navara’s arrival will add 30 000 units to Rosslyn’s current production volume of 35 000 a year, creating the need for a new, second shift at the plant.

Potential Job Creation
The project will train and upskill staff and create about 1 200 new jobs directly at the facility and across the local supply chain.

Capital Expenditure
R3-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
Production is expected to start in 2020.
