Automobile: a Chinese giant invests 600 million dirhams in Morocco

The Moroccan automotive industry is starting the year 2026 on a high note. The Chinese group Jiangsu Yunyi Electric has just announced its establishment in the Kingdom with an envelope of more than 600 million dirhams. The objective: to make Morocco its new rear base to conquer international markets.

The wave of Asian investments is not waning. After the giants of the electric battery, it is the turn of advanced electronics to settle. The board of directors of Jiangsu Yunyi Electric, meeting on December 30, 2025, approved an investment of 66 million dollars (about 660 million dirhams) for the construction of a factory in Morocco.

This new entity will be a 100% owned subsidiary of the Chinese group. Specialized in electronic components for the automotive industry (rectifiers, regulators, sensors), the company is not coming by chance. It intends to capitalize on the "local resources and industrial synergies" of the Kingdom, which has become in a few years an essential hub connecting Europe and Africa.

For Yunyi Electric, this establishment is strategic. The aim is to get closer to its Western customers and improve its logistics competitiveness by producing at the gates of Europe. This project is added to the long list of Chinese industrialists who have made Morocco their platform of choice, thus consolidating the country’s position as a strong link in the global automotive value chain.
