The \u20ac1.6m (US$1.8m) investment marks the OEM\u2019s third dismantling site worldwide, after Turin, Italy, and S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, supporting around 150 direct and indirect jobs at full capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site sources end-of-life vehicles from insurance companies, auctions and other ELV channels, dismantling them into reusable parts (including traction batteries) for sale through Stellantis\u2019 aftersales network and the B-Parts digital platform. The remaining material is collected for recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.automotiveworld.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06162737\/stellantis-circular-economy-dismantling-centre-morocco-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-466456\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Casablanca centre forms part of Stellantis\u2019 SUSTAINera circular economy business unit, which delivers remanufacturing, repairing, reuse and recycling services across the region. Stellantis said the site will serve Morocco and Sub-Saharan West Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, Samir Cherfan, Chief Operating Officer Middle East &amp; Africa and Global Head of Micromobility at Stellantis, said: \u201cCircular Economy is a strategic priority for Stellantis in the Middle East and Africa. It enables us to combine industrial performance, affordability for customers and the responsible use of resources, while securing our long-term industrial footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Casablanca facility is the first dismantling site of its kind launched by an OEM in Morocco, setting a benchmark for structured ELV management in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre is designed to serve Morocco and West Africa. Its main activities are:<br>sourcing end-of-life vehicles; dismantling; selling used parts; and collecting parts for recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The dismantled parts will mainly be sold in Morocco. The Moroccan market for reused parts could reach 5-billion dirhams (R9bn) by 2030, Jean Christophe Bertrand, senior vice-president for Stellantis<br>Middle East &amp; Africa Parts and Services, told journalists.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morocco has around 4.7-million vehicles in use and more than 17,000 reach end-of-life each year, he added. \u201cWe have plenty of profit pools in the Middle East and Africa, and what we are doing in Morocco could be an opportunity to grow our business in many places,\u201d Bertrand said. Earlier this year Morocco surpassed South Africa as the continent\u2019s largest vehicle producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stellantis is positioning Casablanca, Morocco as a regional industrial pilot for circular economy activities across the wider MEA region Stellantis has opened its first vehicle&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,15,32,354],"tags":[22,154,246,41,796],"class_list":["post-4026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa","category-business","category-cars","category-morocco","tag-business","tag-cars","tag-casablanca","tag-morocco","tag-stellantis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
