  • Crisis: France will help with up to 8,000 million to the car

New car registrations in Spain still do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although during June the market performed better than in April (-96.5%) and that in May (-72%), the 82,753 passenger cars and 4x4s registered during June still represent a decrease of 36.6% compared to the same period of 2019, according to data from the Autoinfor consultancy. So far this year, the market has practically halved, with 340,184 registrations

The evolution shows the importance of implementing as soon as possible the purchase aid promised by the Pedro Sánchez government in the middle of last month. Above all, if the case of France is taken as a reference.

France: from falling 50% to rising 1.2%

There, since the beginning of June, two ambitious park renovation plans have been operating: one that allows the acquisition of vehicles with any type of motorization (even used ones) and one specific for 100% electric and hybrid 'plug-in' models. They have a combined endowment of 1,335 million euros and have been key for sales in the neighboring country to go from more than 50% in May to growth of 1.2% during June, to 233,820 units. It is, in fact, the first rebound in the market since December.

Meanwhile, in our country, only the Moves II Plan grants are being managed, which have funds of 100 million euros, of which a maximum of 70% can be used to purchase vehicles, provided they are 100% battery-powered, 'plug-in' hybrids or hydrogen fuel cell. The problem in this case is that it is finally the Autonomous Communities that make the disbursement of the aid and, according to what was published in the BOE, they have a term of up to 90 days to open the corresponding window.

In this sense, the associations Ganvam and Aedive, pointed out that the lack of homogeneous management of the 2020 funds has led to registrations of pure electric cars falling by 31.7% in June, to stand at 802 units.

The Renove, before July 15

Although what is really paralyzing many operations is the delay in the approval of the main course of aid: the so-called Renove endowed with 250 million (230 if heavy vehicles are excluded) and that will allow to acquire a new car (or already registered year) regardless of the technology (even gasoline or diesel) although always with emissions below 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer. In return, you must deliver a car that is at least 10 years old.

Yesterday, and to the surprise of the automotive sector, the Council of Ministers did not include the approval of this program on the agenda. According to the Minister of Finance and government spokesperson, María Jesús Montero, that agenda was not closed and there was some issue that was moved to the following, the case of the Renove to be approved in "next councils of ministers", before the first fortnight of July.

Today, Reyes Maroto, responsible for Industry and Tourism, insisted that its development "takes time" and that the details and bases for its application are being finalized.
