Spain’s Auto Plan 2030 Wins Cautious Backing From Unions and Industry

Stakeholders await BOE publication to convert 25 measures into enforceable policy.

Overview

  • Automaker groups ANFAC, Faconauto and Sernauto describe the package as an opportunity to secure factories and competitiveness, with Faconauto citing €1.28 billion in 2026 including €400 million for point‑of‑sale EV subsidies.
  • UGT FICA says it helped draft the plan and will join implementation working groups, highlighting direct purchase aid, a charging rollout tailored to Spain’s geography and the continuation of PERTE lines.
  • CCOO calls the proposal a good starting point but warns it lacks ambition to guarantee a socially just transition, pressing for stronger job stability, training and protections across supply chains.
  • Environmental groups welcome the direction yet note gaps, pointing to the absence of reform to the environmental labelling system.
  • Several actors caution that the plan needs publication in the BOE to take effect, a priority as Moves III funds are depleted in many regions.
