Expert opinion

José López-Tafall, CEO of Anfac, stated , "July is once again a positive month for electrification. The fact that the market has sold more than 20,000 units and reached 20% of total sales is an important milestone, as is the fact that from January to July of this year, total electrified sales will already exceed those of 2024. We're doing well, and we must take advantage of this trend to regain our position relative to the European average. It's time to continue accelerating."
