The South African automotive industry aims to increase local content in South African assembled vehicles to 60% by 2035 as part of the South African Automotive Masterplan objectives.
Achieving these targets and transforming the local automotive industry requires commitment and buy-in from various stakeholders and the entire value chain.
NAACAM and the IFC – International Finance Corporation have recently signed a partnership agreement to support the growth of local content levels in South African assembled vehicles and the overall development of the automotive sector in South Africa.
The partnership will see a platform being developed that will match the procurement needs of OEMs and tier-one suppliers to the capabilities of tier-two and -three local suppliers.
The platform’s goal is to support more efficient domestic supply chains and reduce South Africa’s reliance on imported parts.
