South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor has confirmed its intention to establish a vehicle assembly plant in Algeria, targeting production to commence by late 2026 or early 2027. This development positions Algeria within Hyundai's strategic growth plans through 2030, with the new facility designed to serve as an industrial base for the North African market. The announcement was made during Hyundai Motor's investor day in Seoul, where CEO Jos\u00e9 Mu\u00f1oz outlined the company's upcoming strategy.<\/p>\n
The project, involving an estimated investment of $400 million, is being pursued with Omani partner Bahwan Saud. The plant is projected to have an initial annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles, focusing first on accessible SUVs and light commercial vehicles, with plans to potentially expand to include city cars and electric vehicles in the future. The site of Sidi Khettab, located in the wilaya of Relizane, has been mentioned as a potential location for this new industrial unit.<\/p>\n
This initiative aligns with Hyundai's broader global strategy to expand its production capabilities, aiming to increase worldwide output by 1.27 million vehicles by 2030. Algeria is highlighted alongside markets such as North America, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam as key contributors to this growth. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is a critical development axis for the group, with Algeria identified as a new industrial pole. The final implementation of the project remains contingent on the completion of necessary procedures and authorizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
