About Nissan
Nissan South Africa functions as both the manufacturer and distributor of Nissan, Datsun, and INFINITI vehicles across Sub-Saharan Africa, operating from its established manufacturing facility in Rosslyn, Pretoria. The company’s history in South Africa began in 1961 through a partnership with Barlow & Company to assemble Datsun vehicles locally. A turning point came in 1973 with the opening of the Rosslyn plant, which launched large-scale production and marked a deeper commitment to the nation’s automotive sector. Over time, the company evolved its brand identity—first known as Datsun Nissan South Africa in 1973 before officially adopting the name Nissan South Africa in 1983.

With more than six decades of presence in the region, Nissan South Africa has introduced numerous notable models, including the NP200 pickup, which continues to stand as a hallmark of its local manufacturing efforts. Beyond producing vehicles, the company has contributed significantly to economic growth through job creation and the development of local supply chains. Today, however, Nissan South Africa faces an uncertain future concerning both its operations and the longevity of the Rosslyn plant. This period of transition highlights a critical juncture, where the company must weigh its proud legacy against the demands and challenges of an evolving global automotive industry.
