Up until today I had not managed to get official sales information by brand for Senegal but thanks to Andrea we now have a little bit more insight on this sub-saharian market, and The Africa Project continues to map out this fascinating continent little by little. Granted, the data is a little… well dated as it is from 2008 when an estimated 6,000 new vehicles were sold in the country.

However it reveals a very interesting fact about the Senegalese market: that Mitsubishi leads the manufacturers ranking ahead of Toyota, Ford and Volkswagen. If confirmed and still valid in 2013, this would make Senegal the only country in the world where Mitsubishi is crowned. The Japanese manufacturer’s previous “best” was the Philippines where it currently ranks #2.
