DECLARATIONS
José López-Tafall, general director of ANFAC, indicated that “for another month, despite the growth compared to the previous year, we continue with a slow rate of entry of electrified vehicles. In the accumulated until October we continue below 10% of market share, very far from the 15% that ANFAC has set as a goal for this year. It is a figure that places us very far from the European average with a 20% electrified quota. Electrification is key and the sector has taken on the challenge, especially now that Europe has set the end of the purchase of combustion vehicles in 2035. However, the Administration must be consistent and speed up decision-making. Our goal this year was to register 120,000 electrified passenger cars and we are not going to come close. It is urgent that the Government take strong and immediate measures, in terms of development of recharging infrastructure, direct aid plans for purchase and specific tax measures that discount the electrified vehicle: the pace that has been set for the Ecological Transition requires greater speed in public measures. The sector alone cannot change society, all actors must be involved. From ANFAC we trust that in the processing of the Budget Law the Government is aware of these urgencies and approves fiscal measures that have the support of the majority of parliamentary groups”.
