What Happened
MG Motor Europe announced its first manufacturing facility on the European mainland, located in Galicia, Spain. The €200 million investment will create over 2,000 jobs across Europe and is scheduled to begin production in 2028, with an annual capacity of up to 120,000 vehicles. The site will integrate R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics to form a complete industrial ecosystem.
The facility supports MG's 'In Europe, For Europe' strategy, strengthening local production and sourcing. MG will collaborate with European partners on battery technology, intelligent mobility, and clean energy. This move aligns with the EU's 2035 zero-emission targets and MG's goal to expand access to advanced mobility solutions.
MG has also recently delivered its one-millionth vehicle in Europe, and its parent group reached 100 million global customers. The brand continues to expand its product portfolio with new EVs and hybrids, including the MG4 EV Urban and MGS9 Plug-in Hybrid.
“Through our 'In Europe, For Europe' strategy, we are not simply responding to the future of mobility—we are helping define it. By investing in local capabilities, strengthening our European footprint and fostering a more competitive automotive ecosystem, we are accelerating Europe's journey towards a cleaner, smarter and more sustainable mobility future.”
