Built locally in the Rosslyn Plant, north of Pretoria, Nissan’s Navara bakkie is set to take on a month-long expedition which will see the group of vehicles traversing through eight different countries.
Aimed at showcasing the sheer capabilities of the Navara, the 7,000km journey is set to prove that the Navara, which is built by Africans for Africa, can take on the worst that the continent has to throw at it in terms of road conditions.
Dubbed Daring Africa 2024, the expedition also coincides with Nissan’s 60th anniversary of manufacturing vehicles on African soil.
The Rosslyn Plant represents a significant role in the African landscape as manufacturing hub of the Navara for the continent. It manufactures Navara’s for export across the entire African continent, with Algeria and Libya seeing the model introduced in their local markets at the end of 2023.
