Dacia Spain Director Laurent Sengenes Seeks Regulatory Stability for EVs

Dacia needs regulatory stability and predictable purchase incentives to prevent a slowdown in Spain’s transition to electrified mobility, according to comments made by Dacia Spain General Director Laurent Sengenes in an interview published by elDiario.es. The automaker plans to launch four electric vehicles before 2030 and aims for two-thirds of its Spanish sales to be electrified by the end of the decade, balancing battery-powered models with hybrid technology and LPG.

Dacia Seeks Regulatory Stability for Affordable Cars

Laurent Sengenes stated that while the automotive industry easily adapts to change, predictability in rules and public support remains vital. The company warned that an excess of regulation risks driving up vehicle costs, which disproportionately hurts affordable car models.

Creo que en nuestra industria nos adaptamos, obviamente, pero es verdad que necesitamos estabilidad. Estabilidad en las reglamentaciones

Regarding purchase incentives for electric vehicles, Dacia favors direct and transparent aid delivered straight to the consumer at the point of sale. Sengenes praised the Spanish Plan Auto+, particularly because of its retroactive application from January 1, but emphasized that continuous funding is necessary to avoid sudden drops in market demand, especially as fuel prices climb toward two euros per liter.

Dacia Launches Spring and Hybrid Vehicle Options

To capture growing demand for affordable electric options, Dacia is preparing a product push anchored by the new Spring. The model will debut at the Paris Motor Show carrying a price tag under 18,000 euros before incentives, designed to deliver practical electric mobility while maintaining the brand identity of budget-friendly manufacturing.

Alongside purely electric choices, the company rolled out hybrid mechanical configurations across its entire vehicle lineup as of September 1. This includes the Sandero, the brand’s top-selling model, which joins the Jogger, Duster, and Bigster in offering hybrid powertrains.

Spanish Engineers Develop Hybrid Tech for 2030 Targets

Dacia highlighted the domestic origin of its hybrid technology, noting that it was developed and manufactured in Spain with input from more than 1,000 engineers based in Valladolid. The Sandero hybrid achieves a fuel consumption rate of 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers under official figures.

Looking ahead, Dacia intends to allocate 30 percent of its sales mix to the C-segment by 2030, supported by models like the Jogger, Bigster, and the upcoming Striker. The automaker maintains an overarching corporate goal to ensure that 67 percent of its total sales come from electrified vehicles by 2030 while protecting its core business model and prioritizing long-term vehicle value over sheer volume.
