The presentation of the project by Volkswagen to construct the ‘Gigafactory Valencia’ – enabling ‘sustainable battery production’ for electronic vehicles – was attended by PM Pedro Sánchez and regional president Ximo Puig.

It is part of a €10 billion investment plan by Volkswagen Group and SEAT to turn Spain into a ‘European hub for electric mobility’.
