Spain is now the eighth largest producer of vehicles, since in June it had confirmed that output growth this year had made Spain exceeds Brazil in this world ranking. In 2014, Spain was producing 2,402,978 vehicles, of which 1,871,985 were passenger cars. Spain produces mainly passenger cars, most of which end up outside our borders . 84.9% of the vehicles manufactured in Spain just exported. But the big question is this, where cars just Made in Spain? What country buys more cars Spanish?
