Electrified passenger cars approach 28% of the market in a strongly growing August

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General2 September 2026 at 09:27

The electrified vehicle market in Spain, which includes 100% electric models and plug-in hybrids in the categories of passenger cars, quadricycles, commercial, industrial and buses, closed the month of August with a growth of 28.2%, reaching 20,644 registered units.

This significant growth means that electrified vehicles represent almost 28% of the total automobile market, which demonstrates a growing trend in the adoption of this type of technology in the country.

The Spanish automotive sector is thus recording an accelerated transition to electric mobility, with more and more consumers choosing alternatives to traditional combustion vehicles.

USA: private sector creates 38,000 new jobs in August

The US private sector created only 38,000 new jobs in August, below market expectations and the lowest since January, according to ADP data. Gains were concentrated in healthcare and education, tourism and hospitality, and construction, while industry, professional and business services recorded losses. This weak reading of the labor market, which reflects a pattern of "not firing, not hiring," may reduce the odds of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve as early as September, despite official US employment data not being released until Friday.
