STATEMENTS
José López-Tafall, general director of ANFAC, indicated that “2026 starts off strongly and maintains the pace of the end of the previous year, with more than 15,000 new electrified registrations. But the majority of these registrations are a consequence of the closure of operations in the last quarter of 2025, so we must act in 2026 to consolidate the pace.”
The general director has indicated that “to maintain the pace of electrification in 2025, we must recover many of the tools that we had last year that drove the market. We are waiting for the announced Auto+ Plan to be launched as soon as possible and for the 15% personal income tax deduction for the purchase of electric vehicles to be urgently recovered; once we manage to accelerate the market in 2025, we must provide certainty to the citizen in 2026 and avoid confusion. Electrification is in a process of maturation in our country and these types of tools are especially necessary if we want to get closer to the European average and consolidate the good progress of the market. A separate mention, unfortunately, is the non-existence since May 2024 of any aid or incentive for the decarbonization of heavy vehicles. This must be corrected in 2026 without delay, Spanish road transport is risking its future.
