Sustainable mobility for the PERTE of the electric and connected vehicle.

From Preditec (Alava Group), we have presented, together with 50 other companies and led by Renault Spain, an innovation plan with 31 initiatives that aim to develop the strategic project for the recovery and economic transformation (PERTE) of the electric and connected vehicle (EV).
