en.Wedoany.com Reported - SAIC Motor has selected the Galicia region of Spain to establish its first manufacturing plant on the European mainland, located between Ferrol and As Pontes. The project involves an investment of approximately €200 million, is expected to create over 2,000 jobs, and is slated to begin operations in 2028, with an annual production capacity of up to 120,000 vehicles.

The MG brand was among the first Chinese brands to enter the Spanish market, gaining recognition through its range of electric and hybrid models. Its parent company, SAIC Motor, has decided to produce locally in Europe, bringing the supply chain closer to end customers, with a strategy summarized as "In Europe, for Europe." The future Galicia plant will not only serve as an assembly center but will also integrate vehicle R&D, advanced manufacturing, key component supply, and intelligent logistics operations to build an interconnected industrial ecosystem.

MG stated that it will strengthen collaboration with technology partners, research centers, and European suppliers to accelerate the development of next-generation batteries, intelligent mobility systems, and clean energy solutions. The brand has experienced years of growth in Europe, celebrating the delivery of its one-millionth vehicle in the European market in early 2026. Since its return to the UK in 2011, it has built a network of over 1,300 partner dealerships across 34 markets.

The establishment of the Galicia plant comes as MG intensifies its product offensive. In its statement, the company mentioned the launch of models such as the MG4 EV Urban, MGS9 Plug-in Hybrid, MGS5 EV, MGS6 EV, and MG HS Hybrid+, as well as the MG Cyberster. The strategy covers the electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid segments, combining pricing, warranty periods, and technical configurations.

In its press release, MG highlighted the SolidCore semi-solid-state battery, describing it as the first mass-produced semi-solid-state battery, along with Hybrid+ and plug-in hybrid technologies. The brand has not yet specified the exact models to be produced at the Galicia plant but stated that the facility will be part of its transition towards more sustainable mobility solutions and aligned with Europe's decarbonization goals.
