Renault will produce its hybrid models mainly in Spain
- Renault has announced that it has chosen Spain to produce its next five hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models scheduled for 2022-2023-2024. The country will therefore become one of the most important poles of hybridization for Renault brand vehicles, France still expecting to become the most important pole for battery electric vehicles (BEV) of the brand. Two plants will produce these HEVs and PHEVs: Valladolid and Palencia.
- In Valladolid will be produced a B-segment SUV type HEV (probably the Captur) and another new hybrid vehicle (HEV), also a B-segment SUV type.
- At Palencia, the renewed Kadjar in PHEV version will be produced as well as the renewed Méganesedan and the station wagon in PHEV version. It is to be noted that the BEV version of the Mégane will be produced in Douai.
- Spain, which is the second largest car producer in Europe behind Germany, is already largely involved in the electrification. The Opel plant in Zaragoza produces the electric Corsa, the Mercedes plant in Vitoria produces the electric V-Class and Vito, the Ford plant in Valencia produces the Kuga plug-in hybrids. And Spain will benefit from the transformation of the Martorell plant, which from 2025 will produce the future B-segment BEVs of the Volkswagen group.
