The majority of affected companies are based in Leiria and Marinha Grande, although companies from other municipalities in the Leiria Region are also in the same situation.

Jorge Vala, president of the Porto de Mós City Council, revealed this situation, noting that numerous companies with valid projects were unable to obtain the expected support.

Opinion by Silva Pires: Dacia Spring gains presence

Dacia presented a complete renovation of the Spring, its first 100% electric vehicle, now built on the Twingo platform. The new model lost the fragile appearance of the previous one, gaining presence, dimension, interior space and a more appealing design. However, it maintains the aggressive pricing policy, which should be around 17,500 euros. Specifications include an 80 hp engine, a 27.5 kWh battery and a range of 250 km. The launch is scheduled for the end of the year.

China Automobile Dealers Association and ASFAC Discuss Automobile Credit Cooperation

The Association of Specialized Credit Institutions (ASFAC) met in Lisbon with a delegation from the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), which represents approximately 18,000 members in the Chinese automobile sector, to discuss cooperation opportunities in automobile financing, with special focus on new energy vehicles. ASFAC highlighted the relevance of southern Europe as a reference in automobile credit and presented the Portuguese market, whose sector represents more than 75% of credit granted to individuals for financing. However, ASFAC criticized the absence of concrete information on the transposition to Portugal of the new European consumer credit contracts regime, whose deadline ended in November 2025, warning that this uncertainty harms the preparation of institutions and the evaluation of new partnerships. The meeting had the support of the Embassy of China in Portugal and the law firm Broseta.
