The much heralded "product offensive" Seat has arrived and the Martorell plant has started producing the third generation of León, a car which since 1999 has sold 1.2 million units. The new model, which will be produced three versions (to start five-door and three-door and later family), represents an investment of 800 million euros, if you count the whole process from idea to production of the vehicle, through the R & D and design. The production also guarantees stability to 1,600 of the 11,000 workers in Martorell, plus 6,000 jobs auxiliary industry.
The new León will begin shipping in November in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In Spain, the Volkswagen Group brand will wait until January to avoid saturating the dealers, which have just begun selling the new Toledo. The new car belongs to the segment of compact vans, which are 38% of sales in Europe, and the direction of Martorell confident that, next to Ibiza, serve as a lever for growth of the brand.
Executive Vice President of Production, Andreas Tostmann, explained today on the same line where it joins the Lion, that investment in R & D has enabled a 10% increase in productivity levels of the line, so as to reduce costs. The Lion is based on transverse MQB modular platform developed by the Group, a technology that allows the same line which will be produced three versions of this model also produced three of Altea. The new León has more interior space and is 90 kilos lighter, contributing to lower consumption. Besides the platform, production include other features, such as laser welding of the roof, which allows the material does not suffer any deformation at the joints.
Tostmann stressed the will of the leadership's Seat "Martorell saturate" and achieve maximum production capacity, 600,000 units, but today, just end the year with 390,000 units, says the president of the council, Matias Carnero (UGT).
Ram has been celebrated as "Seat has done its homework since 2005", with two records and the introduction of labor flexibility measures, training and improved work spaces in addition to the new agreement, linked to the productivity of the plant. All these issues have been decisive in the consortium awarded German production of the Audi Q3. However Carnero admits the damage the crisis has made the automotive sector, with sales in Spain have fallen by one million units. Seat, yet exports 80% of its production.
