The deputy delegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, participated on Tuesday in the presentation of the V Automobile Fair of Agrela, organized by the Association of Entrepreneurs of the industrial estate of A Coruña. The event, which will take place from 12 to 14 June, will bring together 10 official dealers and aims to exceed the thousands of visitors of previous editions.

During the event, the government representative stressed that the fair has become an essential event for professionals in the sector as well as for individuals. “It is a space that dynamizes the local and provincial economy and serves to make visible the collective effort of a strategic sector,” he said.

The institutional manager took the opportunity to demand a more sustainable and healthy mobility, stressing that the path towards emission-free transport “must be collective and inclusive, betting on innovation and environmental commitment”.

In this regard, he valued the support of the Government to the electric vehicle sector, through the Strategic Project for the Economic Recovery and Transformation of Electric and Connected Vehicles (PERTE VEC), which channels more than 55 million euros in investments in Galician companies linked to technological development.

He also highlighted the MOVES program, with which more than 5,000 Galicians and Galicians have already received aid to purchase electric vehicles or install charging points, with a total budget of 50 million euros in Galicia.

“From the administrations we make a great effort, but it is also key to the involvement of the sector. The concessionaires are a fundamental piece to inform and encourage citizens to take the step towards electric mobility,” he said.

Finally, he recalled that the automotive industry is one of the most relevant industries for Galicia. “Galicia has industrial muscle and leadership capacity. Events such as this fair reaffirm that potential and help move towards a greener, innovative and competitive production model,” he concluded.
