Toda la actualidad del sector
Automotion plays a strategic role in many countries’ economy. In Spain, concretely, it represents a 10% of GDP and has a highly interconnected effect: from parts´ manufacturing, design and vehicle assembly to marketing and repairs. All this creates important synergies with other sectors. 1000+ automotive component companies in the country employ 365.000+ people with quality jobs, also contributing notably to social welfare and economic development in several regions. That is why doing their part is relevant for the environmental protection to achieve a more sustainable world.
Climate change is global issue that demands support from all sectors to find a solution. The Spanish automotive industry is strongly heading to decarbonization by bringing technological solutions so transportation can be every time more efficient and sustainable
Since 1995 CO2 emissions have dropped a 36% and nitrogen oxide ones a 90%. Today, because of that, we can enjoy a cleaner, lighter and efficient vehicle. However, the transportation sector today still represents a 24% of emissions of green house gases in the EU. Much is yet to be done in the way of achieving a more sustainable and efficient mobility.
With innovation and collaborative work. Spanish automotive suppliers invest 4% or their billing in I+D, three times the industry´s average. In this sense, advances in efficiency, aerodynamics, vehicle weight and automated/connected driving are showing great results.
Anyway, there is no doubt that the best display of the sector´s commitment with the community has been reflected with the response from thousands of Spanish automotive companies during the Covid19 health crisis. This situation highlighted their strengths as an industry carrying a “responsible business” spirit in their DNA.
