The present SPAIN-blog is dealing with:
CAR INDUSTRY
Automotive is a key production industry for Spain, ranking second position by turnover and exports, just behind Food & beverage. Therefore, it constitutes a strategic area for the Spanish economy, although major manufacturers and technologies are not Spanish origin and heavily threatened by delocalisation trends, especially in difficult economical environment.
One of the particularities of the Spanish car market has been up to now, the high interest on diesel passenger cars, which almost equal the fuel powered cars. Nevertheless, due to environment sustainability policies, in a near or medium term diesel engines may loose popularity and sales dropping down shifting to fuel powered cars, depending on fuel and biodiesel price support policies in Spain, as well as electric or hybrid vehicles.
