Spain is the world's eighth largest car manufacturer

More and more cars are being made in factories in Spain, and last year the figure rose to 2.73 million units. That means Spain is in eighth place among the world’s leading car manufacturers. It is a milestone for the Spanish motor industry.

Compared with 2014, Spain moves from ninth to eighth place in the car makers’ premier league. So show fresh figures from the international motor organisation OICA, presented at the international motor show currently running in Geneva.

The car sector is growing in Spain, with factories in Barcelona, Valencia, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Pamplona, Vitoria, Vigo and Madrid. The whole motor sector saw a 13.7 per cent increase in the rate of production last year.

Here is the top ten among the world’s leading car manufacturers: 1) China — 24.5 million units. USA — 12.1. Japan — 9.2. Germany — 6. South Korea — 4.5. India — 4.1. Mexico — 3.5. Spain — 2.7. Brazil — 2.4. Canada — 2.2. svenskamagasinet.nu
