SEAT Celebrates its 16 millionth Vehicle


Today, January 25, Spanish car maker SEAT is celebrating a historic milestone as its 16 millionth model rolled off the production line at the firm’s modern Martorell plant, near Barcelona. SEAT’s first model, the “1400” came off the assembly line at the company’s base in Barcelona’s Zona Franca on 13th November 1953.

At that time the firm’s 900 workers managed a production rate of five cars per day. Today, by contrast, the company has a workforce of around 12,000, including the staff at the SEAT Technical Centre, and produces about 2,000 units daily at the Martorell plant. The 16 millionth model, a silver Leon Ecomotive equipped with a frugal 105 PS 1.9 TDI diesel engine, is destined to be sold on the Spanish market.
