Stellantis Expands Its Presence in Morocco with a New Vehicle Dismantling Facility
On May 6, 2026, Stellantis NV announced the inauguration of its first vehicle dismantling center in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, located in Casablanca, Morocco. This facility marks the third of its kind globally, following similar establishments in Turin and São Paulo, Brazil. The center is part of the company's regional growth strategy aimed at promoting the circular economy across the MEA region.
According to Stellantis, the Casablanca facility will serve as both a pilot project and a reference center, designed to accelerate the development of an ecosystem for end-of-life vehicles throughout the region. It will cater not only to the Moroccan market but also to sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular emphasis on West Africa.
Samir Cherfan, the Chief Operating Officer for Middle East & Africa and Global Head of Micromobility at Stellantis, emphasized that the circular economy is a strategic priority for the company in this region. He stated that the project aims to connect industrial capabilities with customer affordability while ensuring responsible resource management, thereby securing Stellantis's long-term presence in the MEA market.
The facility is set to enhance the structured management of end-of-life vehicle streams in Morocco, increasing the availability of original, reusable, and fully functional spare parts within the company's after-sales network and on digital platforms. Key activities will include the procurement and dismantling of vehicles, the sale of used parts, and the collection of components for recycling.
Stellantis explained that the project will facilitate access to more affordable spare parts and services through SUSTAINera's used and exchange solutions. Furthermore, it will promote responsible material recovery and the establishment of a traceable ecosystem that meets both corporate standards and regional requirements.
By implementing stringent dismantling procedures, the facility will also enable the recovery and marketing of various selected used product lines, including traction batteries. This initiative reflects Stellantis's commitment to sustainability and innovation in the automotive industry.
As of the latest reports, Stellantis shares have increased by 5.3%, trading at €6.507.
