The Plan España Auto 2030 is a presidential-level industrial-policy framework rather than a single statutory instrument. Sánchez announced it jointly with ANFAC and the wider automotive ecosystem on 3 December 2025. Operational execution is split between MINCOTUR (Industry and Tourism — Plan Auto+, PERTE VEC) and MITECO (Ecological Transition — MOVES Corredores).
The 2026-immediate envelopes are:
autonomous-region-administered MOVES III with a centrally-managed direct dealer-discount model. Effective 1 January 2026. Buyers receive the discount at point-of-sale rather than waiting on regional reimbursement queues — a structural fix for the multi-month delays that crippled MOVES III take-up. Industry-only (no charging-point subsidy element, which moves to MOVES Corredores).
Fast-charging corridor deployment along TEN-T network and inter- urban routes, complementing the existing MOVES III charging envelope.
of the existing PERTE Vehículo Eléctrico y Conectado, which has already disbursed/committed ~EUR 3 bn across its first three calls (PERTE VEC I 2022, PERTE VEC II 2023, PERTE VEC III 2024). Industrial-finance side: battery-cell production, electric-drive components, vehicle-platform retooling, supplier-network reconfiguration.
The headline EUR 30 bn five-year envelope (through 2030) includes both public commitments (the 2026 envelopes above plus future-year PERTE rounds) and the private capex it is designed to unlock — explicitly modelled on the leverage logic of France 2030 and the German KTF channel.
Spain produces ~2.4 m vehicles per year, the second-largest EU producer after Germany, but had no comprehensive national EV- industrial framework prior to this plan. PERTE Chip 2022 covered semiconductors only; PERTE VEC has been narrow industrial-side support without the demand-side companion that France (bonus écologique) and Germany (Umweltbonus until end-2023, then KTF-funded successor) had run for years. The plan closes that gap and centralises management to address the well-documented MOVES III execution problem (waiting lists of 12–18 months in several autonomous regions).
Strategic context:
including supply chain. Risk of Spanish plants losing electrified mandates to Eastern Europe (Volkswagen Trinity-platform decisions, Stellantis MHEV vs BEV allocation) was the explicit policy motivation.
construction) and Stellantis-CATL JV (Zaragoza, planned) are the largest battery-cell investments; PERTE VEC top-up underwrites associated supplier ecosystem build-out.
positions ES as the EU's volume-segment EV producer, in contrast to DE/IT premium-segment positioning.

~EUR 12 bn — narrower envelope and no demand-side leg.
Plan España Auto 2030's EUR 30 bn five-year mobilisation positions Spain in the second tier of EU national industrial-finance commitments (below DE-SVIKG and FR-2030 but above IT/NL national-level envelopes to date), with a more targeted sector concentration (auto/EV/battery) than the omnibus French and German vehicles.
unlock additional supplier capex around the Sagunto gigafactory cluster and the Stellantis-CATL Zaragoza JV — anode/cathode precursor processing, separator films, electrolyte salts.
meaningfully accelerate ES BEV registrations from the ~12% 2025 market-share base, with knock-on effects on EU-wide CO₂ fleet- compliance arithmetic for OEMs that are heavy on Spanish production (Stellantis, Renault, VW Group).
AFIR (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation) TEN-T network obligations Spain has under EU law; closes a gap on the Madrid— Lisbon and Madrid—Bordeaux corridors.
top-up draws from the broader Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia (NextGenerationEU + national co-financing); ES is closer than DE/FR to its NGEU absorption ceiling, so genuinely additional funding will need to come from the 2026 General State Budget.

characterises it as "mobilisation" rather than a pure public- funding envelope. Likely roughly EUR 5–8 bn public commitment with EUR 22–25 bn private capex it is designed to unlock; needs confirmation against subsequent MINCOTUR documentation.
Accelerator Act / Auto Action Plan — Plan España Auto 2030 was presented before the EU framework; likely Spain will frame Plan Auto+ as an Auto Action Plan implementing instrument when the Commission documentation is finalised.
