Award The Kia EV6 is the Car of the Year in Europe 2022
Interview "The electric car creates a surplus of between 2,500 and 2,800 workers at Seat"
This is good news within the catastrophic scenario caused in the last week since Russia unilaterally decided to invade Ukraine.
New car sales in Spain closed the month of February with a rise of 6.6% to
62,165 units.
In the accumulated figure for the year, registrations of new passenger cars and 4x4s total
104,583 deliveries, with an increase of 4.2%.
It must be taken into account that the sector forecasts
growth for this year of between 3% and 5% with total sales between 870,000 and 925,000 units
.
Of course, everything will depend on how long the Ukraine War lasts and the economic crisis that it entails, which would be added to the existing shortage of semiconductors and that greatly affects European car manufacturers in the first half of the year.
In addition, March will be the touchstone to see how
the war will affect deliveries of
volume vehicles that will be directly affected by being manufactured in Russia, as is the case of the
Renault Arkana
, given that maritime blockades are being studied against the governed country. of Putin in addition to the air blockade.
As well as models affected by the paralysis of the factories of parts suppliers located in Ukraine.
This would be the case of the Volkswagen group that is going to have
a supply failure for its Zwickau factory where it produces the electric Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5, the Cupra Born and the Audi Q4 e-tron.
But it will also affect the headquarters,
Wolfsburg
, where the
Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen Golf and the Seat Tarraco.
Not to mention external factors such as
the
cyberattack
suffered by Toyota in Japan
and that has forced the activity to stop.
