Renault SA's Viviene Ward said status of the Oroch and Alaskan right hand drive production is to be confirmed at this stage and that Renault continues to emphasise the importance to launch the Oroch locally.
Ward said: "Right now we are pressing hard ahead with the ongoing development for the right hand drive units since the factory cannot confirm production timeline."
