Morocco FAR – Workshop Facility Opening
The Morocco Armed Forces wheeled vehicle central workshop is now operational
The Maintenance Facility development, which has been designed and project managed by a Lodi team of engineers, is believed to be the largest and most modern facility in North Africa. The workshop has the capability to maintain up to 6,000 military wheeled vehicles from small sedans to tank transporters. Dedicated Management systems have been developed by Lodi to ensure operational efficiency and a Lodi team of automotive specialists will train and develop FAR technicians to deliver a consistently high standard of maintenance. The facility is scheduled to complete ISO 9001 certification before the end of 2012 and will undertake tank transporter and 4x4 vehicle reconditioning programmes alongside of the ongoing maintenance of the Moroccan Armed Forces vehicle fleet.

Maintenance Facility for Moroccan Military – One year on
The newly built facility FAR Workshop Facility was officially opened as Centre de Compétence Matériels Roulants (CCMR) in October 2012. Maintenance began on military staff cars followed by two separate refurbishment programs on Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4s and Oshkosh Tank Transporters. Training of Military Personnel has been at the forefront with Lodi engineers taking the lead on skills transfer at shop floor and management level. CCMR was awarded ISO 9001/2008 certification in October this year - an award that contributed to the most successful year in Lodi's history.
There are many more challenges which lie ahead with the Moroccan project, but Lodi have ensured that the Management and Technical staff installed are of high quality and well equipped to carry the project forward.
