If you suggest that this model was produced in Hyundai's new factory in Algeria called Tahkout Manufacturing Company (TMC), then the year should be corrected, as it started assembly in October 2016, with the Tucson, and the Elantra model was added at some later date (could not find when exactly, but no later than 2017 in my opinion). But also, are you sure that the Elantra is exported from Algeria to Morocco? Because I highly doubt it. At least at the moment when the movie was filmed. The production capacity of the plant is rather small (30,000 vehicles per year in its first phase, projected to 100,000 maybe in 2020) and I don't think it was created for export from the beginning, although one of my following links says it was authorized by Hyundai for export to 4 undisclosed countries in May 2018. Several links in support of what I said: Le premier véhicule Hyundai « made in Algéria » est sorti ce samedi, 29 October 2016, includes photo from inside the plant: "En plus de Tucson, le groupe compte sortir cinq autres modèles légers: I10 grand (4 et 5 portes), l’Accent RB (Sedan et Hatchback), la dernière berline Elantra, et les nouveaux SUV Creta et Santa Fe." Tahkout Manufacturing Company / Usine Hyundai : 5 autres modèles prévus aux coté du Tucson, 30 October 2016: "L'usine de TMC assemblera huit modèles au total, .deux véhicules utilitaires légers : les Hyundai H1 et H100, qui seront proposé en différentes déclinaisons : tôlé, vitré, simple et double cabine, et six modèles touristiques : Grand I10 4 et 5 portes, Accent RB (Sedan et Hatchback), Elantra, Creta, Tucson et Santa Fe ." TMC lance la production de la Hyundai Accent Hatchback, 3 May 2017: "Rappelons que la production de véhicules de marque Hyundai a été lancée dans ce complexe le 1er novembre dernier pour un investissement de 250 millions de dollars et une capacité de production de 30.000 véhicules/an, dans une première étape" Tahkout Manufacturing Company(TMC) célèbre son premier anniversaire, et lance la Hyundai i20 Algérienne, 2 November 2017: "ce dernier annonce que TMC a produit jusqu'à aujourd'hui 40 000 unités, sur les huit modèles" Update: The same is valid for the other models listed in this movie as built in Algeria and made for Morocco: /vehicle_1215301-Kia-Picanto-TA-2012.html /vehicle_1215309-Peugeot-208-2012.html /vehicle_1215337-Renault-Clio-X98-2017.html /vehicle_1215286-Volkswagen-Polo-Typ-6R-2014.html Can you confirm (with a link or document) that they are exported to Morocco? Despite the information about exports, I believe that the automotive plants in Algeria were rather built for the country's internal consumption, following the import quotas that were introduced. It's hard to believe they were also made for export, unless someone can prove this wrong to us. I suggest keeping the years and removing the flag of Algeria. -- Last edit: 2018-12-24 12:27:27 |

The border between Algeria and Morocco has been closed since 1994. Each side accuses the other of supporting militant groups. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria%E2%80%93Morocco_relations I don't know if Algerian products are banned outright in Morocco, but I would delete "built in Algeria". If someone finds specific evidence that Hyundai export from Algeria to Morocco, we can put it back. |

I also suggest removing the flag of Algeria in all the provided links by petacchi, I really exclude the possibility of Morocco importing vehicles built in Algeria, I live in Algeria and I've never heard anything that would suggest this. |
