Spain is the European country whose production has increased the most in 2014
- As Inovev predicted in a previous analysis, Spain in 2014 has been the European country that has seen its production increase the strongest in volume. Number of reasons explain this, including the arrival of new models on the assembly lines of the Spanish plants (Renault Captur, Opel Mokka, Citroen C4 Cactus, Ford Mondeo, Ford Transit Connect) and overall recovery of the Spanish and European markets in 2014 (+ 18% and + 5% respectively).
- In 2014, Spanish production should exceed 2.2 million vehicles (against 2 million in 2013), representing an increase of 10% compared to last year, while production in Europe (29 countries) as a whole should increase by about 5%. Spain consolidates its second place as a producer in Europe (after Germany). Spanish production should however not regain its pre-crisis levels (2.9 million vehicles in 2007) due to the low that was reached by the European market.
- Other European countries therefore turn around the European average of 5%, except for certain countries to the east of Europe that produce in fewer numbers but sometimes have benefited from the arrival of new models in their assembly lines, such as Slovenia (new Renault Twingo and Smart Forfour), Hungary (Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, Mercedes CLA) or Serbia or Bulgaria.
- In 2015 and 2016, Inovev forecasts a slight increase in production thanks to in particular the imminent arrival of the Ford Galaxy / S-Max in 2015 and Citroën C3 Picasso in 2016.
