Pretoria – High-tech out of Africa is paying off, at least mainly for BMW.
Solely through the label “Made in Africa”, the German-based car manufacturer saves some EUR600 ($770) in each vehicle exported to the United States.
This is made possible by a US promotional programme (The African Growth and Opportunity Act) that lets particular African countries enjoy a tax-free export of their products.
BMW was the very first car manufacturer to grab the opportunity.
Almost half of the 55 555 BMW 3 Series automobiles assembled in South Africa annually are shipped to the US market, equivalent to about one third of all 3 Series car imports there.
