“The fact that the Nissan Navara is locally-produced makes this accolade even more special. Through a R3 billion investment in 2019, working with policy-makers and collaborating with strategic partners, the Navara has positively contributed towards the nurturing of a buoyant auto sector,” Managing director of Nissan Africa Mike Whitfield said.
While the country director of Nissan South Africa, Kabelo Rabotho, said: “I’m proud to be part of the team that overcame adversity and the effects of Covid-19 to deliver this exceptional bakkie to our customers. This vote of confidence, from our associates and South Africa, acknowledges the endurance of the team that built this award-winning bakkie.”
