The project: A car industry for Madagascar
In 2009, LE RELAIS took the opportunity to take over the assembly plant with the aim of relaunching an activity as a support for local socio-economic development. A work of rehabilitation of the tools of production and formation of the teams is necessary. Thus 85 vehicles were manufactured, restoring the status of only African car manufacturer.
In 2011, LE RELAIS decided to prepare the future of the brand, by designing a new vehicle, the MAZANAII intended to replace the old models that will become obsolete in 2016.
