Spanish automotive market fuel trends

Overview

The Spanish automotive market is experiencing distinct trends regarding electric and alternative fuel vehicles. While the second-hand market for Chinese-built MG4 electric cars has seen significant price drops—with some models falling to €15,900—the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) sector is seeing notable growth.

Driven by consumer demand for fuel savings and the ability to access Low Emission Zones via the DGT’s ‘Eco label’, the number of LPG vehicles in Spain has risen to approximately 250,000, up from roughly 35,000 to 40,000 a decade ago. Manufacturers such as Renault and Dacia are supporting this trend through specific model offerings. Additionally, the Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has recommended converting existing gasoline vehicles to LPG as a mobility solution, noting that such conversions can offer fuel savings of 30% to 40%.
