On April 29, 2025, Renault’s two factories in Spain, alongside Stellantis’ three plants, began gradually resuming production following a significant power outage that affected Spain and Portugal on Monday. The outage, described as a force majeure event, temporarily halted operations, impacting Renault’s manufacturing facilities in Valladolid and Palencia. Renault Group Spain implemented measures to normalize operations swiftly, ensuring a structured return to full production capacity. The Valladolid plant, which produces models like the Captur, and the Palencia facility, responsible for vehicles such as the Kadjar, are critical to Renault’s European operations. The company prioritized employee safety and equipment checks before restarting assembly lines. This resumption supports Renault’s commitment to maintaining its production targets for 2025, with no specific delays reported. The coordinated response highlights Renault’s operational resilience in addressing unforeseen challenges while sustaining its manufacturing output in the region.
