The Spanish market is slowly adapting to the new trend of electric cars. According to data from the Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers (ANFAC), up to August, sales of electrified vehicles increased by 28.4%. These vehicles include electric and plug-in hybrid models, across passenger cars, quadricycles, commercial and industrial vehicles, and buses. The pace is positive, but still too slow to reach the European average.

The new Sustainable Mobility Law, whose draft bill has already passed all the necessary procedures, is expected to be approved in the first quarter of 2023. It has already been approved twice by the Council of Ministers, and the more than 200 public objections received have been answered. Therefore, the final hurdle to overcome for its approval is obtaining the green light from the Congress of Deputies and the Senate.

The new law aims to change current transport models, setting out what they should look like in the future and aligning them with sustainable urban mobility. It is a project that is connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the European Union’s 2030 Agenda, as well as with the UN and OECD frameworks.
