As part of its global business restructuring, Nissan has announced it will sell its manufacturing assets in Rosslyn, South Africa to Chery. The deal, which is subject to fulfilment of certain conditions, will see Chery purchase the land, buildings and associated assets of Nissan facilities, including a nearby stamping plant, in mid-2026.
Additionally, the majority of associated Nissan employees working at these facilities will be offered employment by Chery on substantially similar terms and conditions. The Rosslyn plant only produces the Navara pick-up truck, but this will end in May once the deal goes through.
“Nissan has a long and proud history in South Africa and has been working to find the best solution for our people, our customers and our partners. External factors have had a well-known impact on the utilisation of the Rosslyn plant and its future viability within Nissan,” said Jordi Vila, Nissan Africa president.
“Through this agreement, we’re able to secure employment for the majority of our workforce thereby also preserving opportunities for our supplier network. This move also ensures that the Rosslyn site will continue contributing to the South African automotive sector,” he added. In its release, Nissan says it will still continue to sell vehicles in South Africa.
