España surfea la crisis del motor transformando sus plantas al eléctrico: la producción se duplicará en 2026

Spain is on track to end three consecutive years of declining car production, as the country begins to reap the benefits of major investments in electrification. While the rest of Europe grapples with plant closures, particularly in Germany where Volkswagen slashed 50,000 jobs and threatened to shut four factories, Spain has managed to convince major automakers to invest in the country for manufacturing electric vehicles, batteries and new models.

These investments have shifted from grand announcements to assembly lines, with electric vehicle production doubling every month since June compared to the same month of the previous year, according to monthly data released by the car manufacturers' association, Anfac.
