Stellantis shipped its 15 millionth vehicle on Friday from the Bouzas terminal at the Port of Vigo, marking a milestone since the Vigo plant was founded in 1958.
At a ceremony attended by regional and local officials, including Galicia’s president Alfonso Rueda, speakers highlighted the strategic role of the Port of Vigo in the factory’s growth. Rueda described the plant as Spain’s most productive auto facility, noting that one in four cars built in the country in 2025 was manufactured there. He called Vigo one of Europe’s strongest automotive hubs and a key industrial pillar for Galicia.
Plant director José Luis Mosquera said the milestone reflects decades of cooperation between the factory, the port, and the city. He also recalled the launch in 1975 of a pioneering “motorway of the sea” logistics corridor linking Vigo with Saint-Nazaire, France.
