The car manufacturing plant set up in Angola by China’s Dongfeng and Nissan of Japan will begin production next month, six months behind schedule, Chinese state media reported Tuesday.The Zhengzhou Nissan plant, owned in equal proportions by Nissan and Dongfeng, is expected to begin operating in April in the Viana industrial zone, north of Luanda, the joint venture’s CEO, Guo Zhenfu, told Economic Daily.
In July 2007, CGS Automovel, the Angolan partner of Zhengzhou-Nissan, said the auto plant would open in October in an investment worth US$ 30 million and a 840,000-square-meter production unit employing 300 people in an initial stage.
Zhengzhou-Nissan expects to produce up to 30,000 vehicles yearly in Angola including pickup trucks, small, medium and large buses, light trucks, multiuse passenger vehicles and the Nissan Paladin jeep, currently only sold in China.
