Automotive & Assembly

Capital structuring for vehicle assembly, component manufacturing, and the automotive policies drawing them onshore.

Discuss your sector mandate with our South African team.

Overview

Capital mobilization for vehicle assembly and African automotive supply chains

We support OEMs, suppliers, and investors with financing architectures for local assembly, component supply chains, and electrification investments across African markets and regional trade blocs.

Several African markets have used tariff and incentive regimes to attract assembly, with component manufacture following slowly. Financing depends on those policy commitments holding for the life of the investment, and on regional trade access for volume.
