==== Uruguay ==== From 1965, Nordex produced its own panel van and pick-up versions of the Citroën 2CV. While the doors and the rear structure (in the case of the panel van, the roof as well) were made of sheet steel, the fenders and bonnet were made by Dasur (Danrée, Soler & Bonet) and were made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic. In contrast to the original, the frame was manufactured on a sheet metal bending machine. Start of production was 1966 for the "3CV" model and the Ami 8 model in the 1970s. The Citroën Méhari and Ranger were produced in a Uruguayan assembly plant between 1970 and 1982. In a joint effort, Dasur made the body out of fiberglass and Nordex made the chassis, while Quintanar sold the vehicles. Around 14,000 vehicles were built, 9,000 of which were exported to Argentina and the rest remained inland. For the Méhari, a two-cylinder boxer engine with a 74 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 602 cc displacement and {{cvt|35|hp-metric|kW|disp=flip}} power drove the front wheels. The curb weight was 590 kg. The Méhari Ranger represented a national specialty. With a fixed structure, the Méhari became a station wagon with large glass surfaces. The side windows in front of the doors were also striking. The rear wheel cutouts also differed from the original. This vehicle weighed 700 kg.<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://www.picuki.com/media/1729369436583944177 |title=Recordando otra de nuestras restauraciones.

Another model produced was the [[Citroën BX]], which had been exported to Brazil since 1992. The production of the [[Citroën ZX]] is documented for Nordex in 1995. In Uruguay, Citroën cars were manufactured until 2002.
