Naftal has announced the import of nearly 1 million tyres for light vehicles in partnership with Continental, as well as 500,000 tyres for heavy goods vehicles and buses with Prometeon, which could be extended to Pirelli. The first phase involves 150,000 units delivered by the end of 2025 and 350,000 in the first quarter of 2026, followed by a second phase involving an additional 4.5 million tyres.

CEO Djamal Cherdoud clarified that the objective is not to make a profit but rather to put an end to speculation, reduce prices by 35–55%, and ensure the supply of high-quality products. Naftal will handle distribution through its 2,000 points of sale.

The company is also continuing its efforts to combat speculation in motor oils: 5,000 tons of Castrol have already been placed on the market at prices 72% lower than usual, and 3,000 tons of Liqui Moly are expected to follow. Finally, Naftal, together with Sonatrach, set up a used oil regeneration company and is encouraging the launch of tyre recycling projects to protect the environment and create jobs.
