China-Africa: Export of 900 Nissan Cars to Egypt
900 Nissan cars will be exported to Egypt in a few months from the Huadu production base of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (DFMC), a joint venture of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. And Dongfeng Motor Corp. of China, Nissan (China) Investment Co., Ltd. said in an interview on August 21.
The cars will include 400 Livina cars and 500 Sylphy cars, and their first batch is scheduled to be shipped toward the country in September, disclosed Sharon Shen, a spokeswoman for Nissan China. They will be sold there via Nissan dealers in Africa.
“Livina and Sylphy are just an attempt of Nissan,” Nissan China said. “The future export will be decided by their sales performance and local market changes.”
It will be the second time that DFMC is set to export cars. It was in August 2006 that it firstly exported 1,000 Tiida cars to Angola.
