The company Ebro EV Motors, owner of the Ebro brand, lost 16.33 million euros last year –the first full fiscal year manufacturing cars in the Zona Franca–, 31.5% less than in 2024, but its revenues soared to 357 million (+920%), driven by sales of its models, as the company, listed on the BME Growth (the Spanish stock market for SMEs), reported this Tuesday. Revenues multiplied by ten compared to 2024 and those associated with the automotive business amounted to 335 million euros.

The automotive firm Ebro EV Motors, which began producing cars at the former Nissan plant in Barcelona's Zona Franca less than a year ago, posted sales of €105.2 million during the first half of its fiscal year. This growth has been driven by "the successful commercialization of its new sustainable vehicles," explains the group, which counts the Chinese company Chery as a minority partner. In fact, the brand has achieved a 2.52% market share in the plug-in hybrid SUV segment.

Pedro Calef is an engineer with a long career in the automotive sector. Now, as CEO of Ebro Motors, he is focused, on the one hand, on reindustrializing the former Nissan facilities in the Zona Franca, and on the other, on relaunching a legendary Spanish brand: Ebro. The factory is already up and running, although the so-called D-Hub needs to expand further with the arrival of the Chinese company Chery. And the first Ebros are already starting to hit the roads.
