The plan includes the opening of 5 new branches (Algiers, Rouiba, Oran, Blida and Hassi Messaoud) and one main workshop in Rouiba.
“Since reaching Algeria in 1993, Nissan has had an immense growth rate. In Fiscal year 2005, Nissan Algeria’s sales growth went up by an amazing figure” commented Normand. “This new showroom is another way to confirm our already strong commitment to the Algerian market; it is a modern facility that includes our full lineup and ensures customers have a unique experience whenever they visit the showroom.”
