A comprehensive four-year strategy has been announced by Nissan Africa, Middle East and India (AMI) today for the region under the company’s Global Transformation Plan. The company will build on Nissan’s existing strengths in the region including continued growth in key markets and strong brand presence, maximising synergies with Alliance partners and leveraging an expansive and competitive manufacturing presence in South Africa, Egypt, India and Nigeria. AMI will follow the global transformation strategy, announced last month by Chief Executive Officer, Makoto Uchida, which aims to achieve sustainable growth, financial stability and profitability by the end of fiscal-year 2023. The AMI business plan aligns with the global direction of rationalization, prioritization and focus to bring core models and technologies to a region that accounts for around 10% of the world automotive market.
Ashwani Gupta, Chief Operating Officer of Nissan said, Africa, Middle East and India is an important region where they will target investment in existing strengths, including SUV, and bring eight new products to the market. By driving efficiencies through the Alliance and focusing on core competencies, they will further increase the region’s profitability, especially in key markets including the Gulf, South Africa and Egypt, he added.
