The Omoda brand was launched in 2023 in Wuhu, China, where it is based. The Spanish subsidiary is called Omoda España and began its adventures on the old continent with wide network of dealers and after-sales service centers, where they strive to be as close as possible to the tastes and needs of customers in order to offer them the most attractive products with excellent technology and good quality.

How did the agreement with Omoda go in Barcelona?

EV Motors and the government were the main negotiators for the agreement, which eventually led to an agreement to produce cars in Spain in what the old Nissan plant in Barcelona was like.

The agreement has already been formalized, taking shape at an institutional event on Friday. Under this heading, we want to restore 1,000 jobs out of the 1,600 that were lost as a result of the closure.

The agreement was reached after a delegation from our country spoke with Chery in China. Everything was closed after the visit of Pedro Calef, CEO of Ebro.to the Chery headquarters, where Roger Torrent, Minister of Business and Labor of the Generalitat, was also present.

In addition, Ebro brand models will be produced. Between the two licenses there are older Nissan models. pickup and van.

Chery will start producing cars at a plant in the Barcelona Free Trade Zone, and the number of workers involved will increase as the various stages of the project progress.

Minister Jordi Hereuyesterday stressed that this is a good investment both for the Catalan industry and for the whole of Spain.

The best part is that they are confident of including hundreds of workers once laid off from Nissan.

Chinese cars and the future…

Chinese cars are already here and starting to have factories, which will undoubtedly mean that costs could be lower and they will be better adapted to the conditions demanded on the European continent.

All brands count on MG to deliver great results. and they believe that our country is one of those that can best accept the emergence of these brands and their attractive prices.
