September Snapshot: 21,030 Deliveries

Segment Breakdown: Passenger Cars Outpace Commercials
- Passenger Vehicles (VP): 165,764 units sold, up 34.7% year-over-year. This segment continues to be the primary growth engine, driven by renewed consumer confidence and attractive financing offers.

Outlook
With three quarters of consistent growth, 2026 is shaping up to be a record year for Morocco's automotive sector. Industry analysts point to stable macroeconomic conditions, improving household purchasing power, and fleet renewal cycles as key tailwinds likely to sustain momentum into year-end.
