Renault Trucks is said to have begun dissolving and liquidating its Algerian subsidiary, with a liquidator appointed to handle the closure formalities. Nearly 100 employees are reportedly affected, while talks over their compensation remain deadlocked, according to Al Araby Al Jadeed, as reported by ObservAlgérie.
Renault Trucks, the French heavy goods vehicle manufacturer, is said to have begun dissolving and liquidating its subsidiary in Algeria, a procedure that would affect nearly 100 employees. A liquidator is said to have been appointed to handle the administrative and legal steps for the closure, according to the Arabic-language media outlet Al Araby Al Jadeed, cited by Observ’Algérie.
The employees were reportedly informed of the decision about ten days before the liquidator was appointed, and some staff say they received an email barring them from entering the premises. They appointed their own representatives to negotiate with management and are demanding three months’ salary per year of service, compared with management’s offer of one month’s salary per year, according to Al Araby Al Jadeed.
The procedure comes after Renault Trucks abandoned plans to restart its Meftah plant, a truck assembly project in Algeria. The manufacturer announced its decision on 12 November 2026.
