Happy Birthday! Opel Corsa Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary
Thirty years ago today, the SEAT S.A. factory in Martorell was inaugurated. The anniversary coincides with the beginning of the company’s biggest transformation ever, with a total investment of three billion euros. This transition from combustion to electrification will involve all areas: research and development, production and logistics, commercial and people and organisation.SEAT S.A.’s main factory will start producing fully electric vehicles by 2025 for different brands within the Group. To achieve this, the company has designed a strategic plan that includes five main pillars: people and organisation, electrification and product, production end to end (E2E), digitalisation and sustainability.One of the key projects for the transformation is that SEAT S.A. will lead the Small BEV cluster for the Volkswagen Group; the family of cars that will democratise sustainable urban mobility for different brands. Martorell will become one of the Group’s production hub for these electric cars and a crucial part of the electric vehicle value chain in Spain.

All he ever wanted to do was prove that he was simply the best rally driver in the world. “My aim was to show that I can win in any car,” said Röhrl in the book Opel Motorsport mit Tradition. And his life’s ambition was to win the Monte Carlo Rally, which he achieved in four different cars.
