About Nissan
Nissan South Africa serves as the manufacturer and distributor of Nissan, Datsun, and INFINITI vehicles across the Sub-Saharan African region, operating from its long-standing manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria. The company’s roots in South Africa date back to 1961, when it partnered with Barlow & Company to assemble Datsun vehicles locally. A major milestone came in 1973 with the establishment of its Rosslyn plant, which marked the start of full-scale production and greater investment in the country’s automotive industry. Over the decades, Nissan South Africa has undergone significant brand evolution, beginning as Datsun Nissan South Africa in 1973 before officially becoming Nissan South Africa in 1983.
With a legacy spanning more than 60 years, the company has introduced several iconic models, including the NP200 pickup, which remains a symbol of its contribution to localized production. Beyond vehicles, Nissan South Africa has played a pivotal role in supporting economic growth by creating jobs and strengthening the local supply chain. Despite its accomplishments, the company now faces uncertainty regarding the future of its operations and the Rosslyn manufacturing plant. This moment of transition places Nissan South Africa at a crossroads, balancing its historic achievements with the challenges of navigating an evolving automotive landscape.
