this PERTE VEC (for the development of the electric and connected vehicle) firms leading multimillion-dollar initiatives and tiptoeing through Galicia with no minimal projects submitted by Stellantis Vigo with the group’s facility in Madrid. Again, community businesses join other offers the basis on which they aim to develop disruptive technologies in the framework of electrification of mobility, launched from other points of the peninsula. in Vigo, the firm Small Electric Cars and to lengthen Small Electricity took part in two of the projects presented to PERTE of the automotive industry. In the first case, the company seeks the development of a multi-purpose electric vehicle with special features that exceed 5 tons (like a conventional car); in a second, Little will develop ultra-fast chargers with reused batteries, something to be accomplished by the manufacturer of Balaídos.
Although the rigidity of this PERTE’s base has prevented Stellantis from presenting its plans for the Vigo factory (including the new industrial platform STLA to house the electric models), the company has launched two projects worth 266 million euros.

Little Electric Energy is also involved in this latest project. signature, which A Veigadaña industrial area (Mos) has its new base on the ground floor, battery reuse and recycling. And that’s exactly what they want to use. develop ultra fast chargersthis shortens the time that vehicles need to be plugged in.
Experience already stored in Movelco, another firm in the group, will add little to this., has a division that specializes in electric mobility in general and focuses on charging points. Stellantis needs large capacity recharging infrastructures for the power they need for their plants, and this is where the Small Electric Power project wants to enter.
off the beaten track
Regarding Small Electric Cars, its participation in PERTE is part of the project offered by Grupo Sapa for 200 million Euros, in which 27 companies, including from Galicia, participate. Urovesa, Unvi (from the Pérez Rumbao group) or Castrosua. In order to reduce the carbon footprint in goods and passenger transportation, Vigo firm is committed to expanding its electric vehicle range. now his intention develop a high-performance multi-purpose electric vehicle and specially designed for off-track work (such as nature parks) or urban environments. Small Cars now want a unit that exceeds 5 tons like a conventional vehicle, unlike any that has been created before.
