VOLKSWAGEN AG SEAT, Iberdrola and Volkswagen Group España Distribución are strengthening their commitment to the electrification of transport by signing a strategic collaboration agreement to jointly promote the rollout of electric, sustainable mobility in Spain. The alliance was endorsed at a meeting between Iberdrola Chairman Ignacio Galán and Volkswagen Group CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of SEAT, Dr. Herbert Diess.
The companies share the vision of the need to advance in the electrification of Spain in a coordinated manner, with alliances among the main agents that are providing solutions in this area, as well as the opportunities to configure an industrial, commercial and innovation ecosystem that will enable our country to maintain a prominent position in the automotive industry of the future and lead the development of sustainable mobility in Europe.
They have also identified the recharging infrastructure as one of the key factors in promoting electromobility and will therefore be working together in different areas of action. The green deal includes activating cross-sector innovation projects and a plan to ensure the roll-out of fast and ultra-fast charging points on the main routes of Spain's road network. In addition, they will foster their use at SEAT's facilities and at the brand's and Volkswagen Group España Distribución dealers and the integration of Iberdrola's recharging infrastructure into the navigators of electric vehicles, as well as the marketing of Iberdrola's electric recharging solutions at SEAT's dealers.
In this context, Iberdrola has completed the installation of 140 recharging points at SEAT's centres in Martorell, including spaces for private and public use.
