The Peugeot 208, made in El Palomar, occupies second place in the 2022 cumulative ranking.
Optimism for what is to come
For Salomé there are several indications that show a possible scenario of optimism for what is to come.
According to his view, the beginning of a macroeconomic improvement, together with the growth of economic activities shown by some sectors, will allow the automotive industry to become the main axis of dynamism.
“We have achieved a greater integration of national components into cars and now the 50% of everything patented is nationalbut we are at an important moment of the year where we can go to a market of long -awaited 400,000 units, or stand idle and continue to suffer from the shortage of vehicles, lamenting the loss of operations and declining customers, ”Salomé said.
