The project has the firm support of the Government of Navarra and responds to the strategic objective of locating the entire electric vehicle production value chain in the Ciudad del Transporte, in the vicinity of Pamplona.

Features of VGP Park Pamplona Noáin

VGP Park Pamplona Noáin is located in the municipality of Noáin, 10 km from Pamplona, the capital of Navarra, and will house a high quality, sustainable and energy efficient battery assembly plant for MOBIS Spain Electrified Powertrain S.L.U., part of Hyundai Mobis, the global mobility solutions provider based in South Korea.

With a built-up area of 50,000 square metres on a site of 147,700 square metres, VGP Park Pamplona's first industrial building will be used for the assembly of high-voltage (HV) battery cells for an electric vehicle platform.

VGP Park Pamplona Noáin will have modules dedicated to the storage of materials, assembly, production warehouses, as well as spaces for services and offices. It will also include advanced robotisation and logistics technologies and will benefit from the highest environmental and quality certifications.

The project will strengthen the socio-economic landscape of the region. In addition, the assembly of car batteries at the plant will not only boost local logistics and industry, but also sustainable mobility throughout the country.

Like ongoing projects in other VGP parks in Europe, such as those in Germany, Croatia and Romania - where VGP is developing the infrastructure and environment necessary to foster technology investments - this project is indicative of the growing wave of industrial investments in Europe. Particularly notable is the interest generated by industries related to sustainable mobility and energy transition, which mark a fundamental shift towards a more sustainable future.

As in all VGP's logistics and industrial projects, VGP Park Pamplona Noáin will meet the Group's high quality standards and will be sustainable and energy efficient. The building will be developed aiming for BREEAM Excellent certification.
