The government accelerates the return of the automotive industry and opens closed units

The factories of 'Kia', 'Hyundai', 'Sofac', and 'Suzuki' are on the list for reviving local subcontracting, laying the foundation for a true Algerian automotive industry. Prime Minister Aïmene Benabderrahmane will oversee the revival of the brake pads production plant (formerly Tahkout) in El Harrach, east of the capital, which was recovered as part of anti-corruption efforts. This step reflects the acceleration of the government's strategy to revive the recovered industrial fabric and transform factories that have been idle for years into productive units that contribute to building a comprehensive automotive industry, based on subcontracting, increasing the local integration rate, and reducing the import bill. The brake pads factory in El Harrach is one of the most prominent industrial projects that halted after the involvement of its previous owners in corruption cases.
