3 I. INTRODUCTION Their combination of energy and environmental efficiency make electric vehicles the clearest example of the move towards a more sustainable and rational mode of transport deemed necessary and desirable by today's societies. Spain is especially well placed to meet all the technical and business needs of this sector, coupled with the political will to socially consolidate the use of electric vehicles.

4 II. BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION Business Definition Although sales in Europe cannot yet be defined as high, the gradual electrification of the motor vehicles in use is an inevitable reality.

5 II. BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION Vehicle on the road Value Chain DEMAND Vehicle availability Network availability Import Domestic production Charging R&D Infrastructure Export Urban planning Investment New Existing DESIGN R&D Investment Specialized staff R&D Centres Companies Technological Centres Components Production Technology

6 II. BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION Description of the Technology Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PEHV) Vehicle with fuel cells Combining a thermal engine of medium/big size with an electric motor as support when moving off and accelerating. The vehicle is able to work indistinctly with one, with the other, or with both at the same time. Vehicles powered exclusively by electric motors, and whose batteries are charged from the network or using a small internal combustion engine which spins constantly. Vehicle with an electric motor whose energy is provided by a chemical reaction inside a fuel cell. Pure Electric Vehicle (EV) Driven exclusively by one or several electric motors. The charging of the batteries is done from the network or the batteries are being replaced.

7 III. BUSINESS ANALYSIS Current Business Situation in Spain Domestic and foreign manufacturers such as RENAULT, DAIMLER, PSA-Citroën, Mercedes and SEAT have already made firm decisions to produce electric powered vehicles in Spain. The main domestic and foreign parts companies with plants in Spain are already working on specific components and systems for electric and hybrid vehicles.

8 III. BUSINESS ANALYSIS Current Business Situation in Spain The operator responsible for managing electricity in Spain, REE, is considering and assessing the integration and development of electric vehicles in Spain. In addition, large energy companies such as Cepsa, Repsol, Endesa, Iberdrola, Gas Natural and Acciona are taking part in projects to develop the necessary charging infrastructure for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

9 IV. OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRESSION FORECASTS Progression Forecasts The electrification of the automobiles in use is a reality. In the next years the number of hybrid and electric vehicles will increase in a nearly exponential way. Ambitious target: electric vehicles in 2014 Source: European Roadmap. Electrification of Road Transport. ERTRAC Source: Roadmap for EV / PHEV. International Energy Agency

10 IV. OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRESSION FORECASTS Progression Forecasts The consumer perception when purchasing a vehicle will change substantially towards values as energy efficiency and sustainability. That s why the prospects for the electric powered vehicles are very favorable.

11 IV. OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRESSION FORECASTS Progression Forecasts Spain is one of the European countries that is most committed to electric powered transport, both in the development of vehicles and supply infrastructure. Integral Plan for Automotive. Cabinet. 13/02/2009

15 V. FACTORS FAVOURING THE INITIATIVE Spain is located in the top five electricity producing countries, making it one of the most attractive places for the development of electric vehicles. Total net production of electricity in the European Union Countries members of the ENTSO-E (TWh) Source REE 31/12/2010

16 V. FACTORS FAVOURING THE INITIATIVE In addition, Spain offers lower energy transport costs than its competitors, as can be seen in the following graph. Transport Costs in the countries of ENTSO-E. Source: REE 31/12/2010

17 V. FACTORS FAVOURING THE INITIATIVE Renewable energy source represented 36,5 of total electricity production in Special regime technology structure. Blue: hydraulic; Green: Wind ; Yellow: solar; Purple: Other renewables; Orange: Non renewables. Source: REE 2010.

18 V. FACTORS FAVOURING THE INITIATIVE Main projects currently being developed in Spain REVE URBANcar CITYELEC TECMUSA CENIT VERDE

19 VI. DETERMINING FACTORS Legal Framework R.D. Main laws regulating the manufacture of vehicles in Spain: Royal Decree 2822/1998, of 23 December, passing the General Regulations on Motor Vehicles Royal Decree 2140/1985, of 9 October, stipulating the regulations for the certification of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, as well as their components and parts.

20 VI. DETERMINING FACTORS R.D. Main legislation regulating the electricity sector: Royal Decree 222/2008, of 15 February, establishing the rate structure for electricity distribution. Royal Decree 325/2008, of 9 February, establishing the rates for electricity transport activities for facilities entering service from 1 January Legal Framework Royal Decree 1578/2008, of 26 September, on the rates for electricity produced by photovoltaic solar energy after the rates deadline in Royal Decree 661/2007, of 25 May, in relation to Orden/ITC this kind of energy production. Order ITC/1857/2008, of 26 June, revising electricity rates from 1 July 2008.

21 VI. DETERMINING FACTORS Technological Factors TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF BATTERIES ELECTRIFICATION OF THE SUPPLY NETWORK

22 VI. DETERMINING FACTORS Commercial Factors OVERCOME TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS AVAILABILITY OF VEHICLES AND SUPPLY COMPETITIVENESS WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES

23 VII. CONCLUSIONS The electric vehicle is a reality in Spain, currently there are projects for its development Public administrations and private companies are boosting this initiative Spain has outstanding competitive advantages, as the business infrastructure of very developed and specialized technological and industrial centers
