The president of the Spanish Association of Car and Truck Manufacturers (Anfac), Wayne Griffiths, has pointed out the need to establish a new fiscal framework and expand the network of recharging points as the main challenges that the automotive sector in Spain has to face .
In an interview offered to Global Mobility Call, the congress organized by Ifema Madrid that starts this Wednesday, Griffiths has expressed that it is necessary to launch a network of public access recharging points with sufficient capillarity and quantity to supply the user at any time . In addition, he has considered it “key” to facilitate the purchase of vehicles with “more efficient and simpler” aid plans, for which he has called for a positive tax regulation that encourages this offer.
Griffiths has pointed out that the new mobility model must maintain the values of employment, industry and economy that the automotive industry has traditionally contributed to Spain.
On the other hand, the also president of Seat has highlighted the positive elements that the sector currently has, such as the commitment to put new electric vehicles on the market and to have a single and agreed strategy on the decarbonised mobility model for Spain.
Asked when the automotive industry will be fully sustainable, Griffiths has assured that they are working to reach the goal of zero emissions in 2050. “It is clear that we are facing a transition that will last for the next two decades,” Griffiths said. .
In this sense, the president of Anfac has valued the role of the ‘Next Generation’ funds as a tool to promote the transformation of the sector and remain competitive in this new mobility industry.

Global Mobility Call, which will serve as a platform to learn about the new proposals of the data ecosystem, mobility and transport models, will start tomorrow at the Ifema fairgrounds in Madrid. In this congress, multisectoral and transversal debates will take place, with more than 100 speakers and discussion tables, organized in a main auditorium and five thematic forums, bringing together more than 300 experts.
Global Mobility Call was born with the aim of promoting growth and the creation of new business models with the participation of European public-private collaboration projects.
In the Technology, Data and Innovation Forum, it will be revealed how digital technology, data analytics, the development of new infrastructures and energies are allowing the development of new mobility services for people and goods with a citizen orientation, while reducing its impact on the environment.
The New Urban Planning Forum will show how the new models of urban planning help configure spaces for citizen coexistence in urban, metropolitan and rural areas in a way that is more respectful of their natural environment while satisfying the daily mobility needs of their inhabitants.
The Economic Development and Regulation Forum will allow the discovery of new business opportunities based on the interrelation of the different economic, institutional, academic and social actors that make up the ecosystem of sustainable mobility and the transformation of value chains that allow achieving expectations of economic growth globally sustainable in the medium and long term.
In the Sustainable Transport Forum for people and goods, public-private collaboration initiatives for multimodal and intermodal transport of people and goods will be presented for more efficient and environmentally friendly mobility, in an environment of continuous growth and complexity of logistics flows and travel.
Finally, the Future Society Forum has the objective of creating a new, more inclusive, sustainable and connected society within the framework of the 2030 Agenda by promoting mobility habits, ownership of means of transport and the influence of ‘e- commerce’ in consumer decisions.
