The vehicle production in Spain accelerates its growth. The vehicle factories spread throughout the Spanish territory are coping, as far as possible, with the shortage of components. Especially when it comes to the shortage of microchips and semiconductors. During the month of June 2022 have been manufactured a total of 232,407 unitswhich means a 34.6% growth
Compared to the same period of the previous year.
As for the accumulated data, as might be expected from the poor results obtained in the first half of the year, they are not good. Between the months of January and June vehicle production accumulated 1,135,087 units, 5.8% less
than in the first half of 2021. Now, if we compare these figures with the first six months of 2019, prior to the pandemic and the global shortage of microchips, Spanish factories have stopped producing 401,703 vehicles.
