Volkswagen will concentrate more than 10% of its global production in Spain and Portugal
The German car company plans to produce more than a million vehicles a year – electric, hybrid, and combustion – at its three factories on the Iberian Peninsula: Martorell (Barcelona), Pamplona, and Palmela (Portugal).
Volkswagen has started producing the ID. Cross at its factory in Pamplona, Spain, marking the completion of the electrification process of its two Spanish factories. The production of this and three other electric models - Cupra Raval, Volkswagen ID. Polo, and Skoda Epiq - is guaranteed to secure jobs and has involved a 4,000 million euro public-private investment.
The company's Spanish factories are expected to produce over 800,000 vehicles per year, with a total of over 1 million vehicles produced in the Iberian Peninsula, including a Portuguese plant. Volkswagen has 20,000 direct employees in Spain and around 100,000 indirect jobs.
