South Africa risks losing the bulk of its automotive exports unless the government implements policies to create an electric-vehicle manufacturing industry, according to Nissan Motor’s Africa head.

Europe is the destination for about two-thirds of car exports from South Africa, which earned R202 billion from sending vehicles and components internationally in 2019.

South Africa relies on the automotive industry for about 15% of its exports, and has lured major manufacturers such as Toyota Motor and Volkswagen with a government incentive plan to set up local plants. The rest of Africa has also been slow to foster production, including in carmaking strongholds such as Egypt and Morocco, he said.One cause for optimism in Africa is that new car sales are expected to grow to as many as 5 million a year in 2035 from 1.2 million, and that could compensate for declines in the European export market, he said.
