About Nissan South Africa
Nissan South Africa manufactures and distributes Nissan, Datsun, and INFINITI vehicles across the Sub-Saharan region. Operating from its Rosslyn plant in Pretoria, Nissan has a long-standing presence in the country dating back to 1961, when it partnered with Barlow & Company to assemble Datsun vehicles locally.
In 1973, the Rosslyn plant began full-scale production, marking a major milestone for the local automotive industry. Since then, Nissan South Africa has evolved from Datsun Nissan South Africa to its current identity, producing iconic models like the NP200 pickup. Over six decades, the company has contributed to economic growth, job creation, and local supply chain development, all while navigating the challenges of an evolving automotive landscape.
