Chery, a Chinese automobile group, is set to produce up to 150,000 vehicles in the old facilities of Nissan in the Barcelona Free Zone. The agreement allows for the recovery of up to 1,250 jobs and marks the first time a Chinese manufacturer will produce in Europe. Ebro Factory, a joint venture owned by EV Motors, has planned a long-term investment of 400 million euros and will begin rolling out production this year with the Omoda 5 model. Future plans include expanding production processes to include local suppliers and creating job opportunities for around 150 employees initially. The alliance between EV Motors and Chery represents a significant step towards reindustrialization and economic recovery in the region. Government officials emphasized the importance of adapting to global challenges and committing to Barcelona and Catalonia as industrial hubs, particularly in the automotive sector.
