Algiers, Algeria | January 31st, 2025 — Global automotive conglomerate Stellantis has unveiled an ambitious strategy aimed at accelerating the development of Algeria’s automobile industry, with a target of achieving a 30% local integration rate by 2026. This initiative marks a significant milestone in Algeria’s industrial landscape, reinforcing the country’s vision to become a key player in the regional and international automotive supply chain.

In a statement released by the group, Stellantis reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a robust and competitive automotive sector in Algeria by leveraging cutting-edge technology, developing local expertise, and enhancing supply chain resilience. To this end, the company announced the organization of the second edition of the International Suppliers Forum in May, a crucial event designed to catalyze partnerships and attract high-caliber local and international subcontractors into the Algerian automotive ecosystem.

One of the most groundbreaking initiatives revealed by Stellantis is the launch of a National Automotive Studies Hub, a pioneering research and development center that will focus on nurturing technological innovation and enhancing skill development in the industry. This strategic move is expected to drive sustainable growth and bolster Algeria’s capabilities in vehicle production, positioning the country as a hub for automotive excellence in North Africa.

Stellantis, which encompasses an array of world-renowned automotive brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, and Jeep, has already established a strong footprint in Algeria. The group’s flagship brand Fiat has successfully commenced vehicle production at its Oran plant, underscoring Stellantis’ long-term commitment to industrial localization and job creation in the country.

The multinational auto giant’s expansion in Algeria aligns with the government’s broader economic strategy to reduce import dependency, boost local manufacturing, and create a thriving automotive sector that contributes significantly to GDP growth.
