Stellantis has opened a car disassembly center in Morocco, it announced on Wednesday, making it its first in the Middle East and Africa.

Stellantis, which owns the Peugeot and Jeep brands, invested 1.6 million euros ($1.9 million) in the center, which can dismantle up to 10,000 cars annually.

Casablanca is Stellantis' third vehicle disassembly center in the world after Turin in Italy and Sao Paulo in Brazil. The center was designed to serve Morocco and West Africa.

The center's main activities are providing dilapidated vehicles, dismantling them, selling used spare parts, and collecting spare parts for recycling.

Disassembled spare parts will be sold mainly in Morocco. Jean-Christophe Bertrand, the company's senior vice president for spare parts and services in the Middle East and Africa, told reporters that the market for reused spare parts in Morocco could reach five billion dirhams ($544 million) by 2030.

He stated that there are about 4.7 million vehicles in use in Morocco, and that more than 17,000 vehicles end their lifespan annually. He added, "We have many tools from which we can make profits in the Middle East and Africa, and what we are doing in Morocco may be an opportunity to grow our business in many places."

Earlier this year, Morocco surpassed South Africa and became the largest car producer on the continent.
