The Ministry of Industry and Tourism has provisionally awarded €41 million as part of the third call of the Strategic Project for the Recovery and Economic Transformation (PERTE) for the Electric and Connected Vehicle, specifically in the industrial value chain section.
The announcement was made by Rebeca Torró, Secretary of State for Industry, during her address to the Industry Commission in the Spanish Congress of Deputies.
This funding round aims to boost investment plans across the industrial value chain of electric and connected vehicles, including systems, subsystems, components, and certain auxiliary infrastructure systems essential for deployment.
Among the selected projects, Mercedes-Benz stands out, receiving €5.9 million for its plant in Álava, supporting the continuity of the German manufacturer’s operations in Spain.

During her remarks, Rebeca Torró reiterated the Spanish Government’s commitment to the automotive sector, particularly in supporting the joint challenge of electrification and decarbonisation.
“We are fully aware of the areas that require action: industrial transformation, expansion of infrastructure, and demand stimulation,” she emphasised.
Torró also highlighted Spain’s effort to enhance industrial competitiveness, noting the range of tools the government has mobilised to consolidate existing companies in the country and to reinforce Spain’s position as an attractive hub for new investment.
€600 million in new aid to offset industrial emissions
In addition to the PERTE VEC III announcement, the Ministry of Industry and Tourism has confirmed it will soon launch a new €600 million call for proposals aimed at compensating industrial CO₂ emissions. This figure represents a €300 million increase compared to 2024.
The new line of aid, set to be released before the end of the first half of the year, is expected to directly reduce energy bills for energy-intensive companies.
“With this €600 million allocation for 2025, we aim to help energy-intensive firms reduce their electricity bills by between 17 and 18 MWh,” noted Torró, adding that the government has worked closely with the European Commission to implement measures that further ease industrial energy costs.
