RABAT, July 18, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The automotive giant Stellantis will more than double production at its plant in western Morocco following the recent completion of a new expansion, the group announced on Thursday.

The expansion at the Kenitra facility, inaugurated on Wednesday, will allow the automaker to increase the number of vehicles made in Morocco from 200,000 per year to 535,000.

Electric microcars from Stellantis brands Citroen, Opel and Fiat will see their production boosted from 20,000 to 70,000 annually, and the factory will also start churning out 65,000 electric three-wheelers each year, Stellantis said.

In February of next year, the group "will launch new vehicles from the 'Smart Car' platform, which will allow for the doubling of the initial production capacity from 200,000 to 400,000 vehicles per year", it added.

The moves are expected to create more than 3,000 jobs on top of the existing 3,500, according to Stellantis.
