Renault announced on 24.09.2026 that it will put around €600m into its Spanish plants in Valladolid and Palencia by 2030, which will receive five new models – including two compact electric cars, making Renault's Spanish factories build EVs for the first time in its 75-year history in the country. Palencia is to produce vehicles on the new RGEV Medium 2.0 electric platform, while the body plant in Valladolid gets a battery assembly line; the programme is funded from the group's own resources plus subsidies from the central government and the regional government of Castile and León. No figure for new jobs was given (El Español, 24.09.2026; second source: El Debate, 24.09.2026). — Source: https://www.elespanol.com/castilla-y-leon/region/20260924/confirmado-renault-invertira-millones-euros-fabricara-nuevos-modelos-valladolid-palencia/1003744396320_0.html

Spanish energy group Reolum presented four decarbonisation projects to the regional government of Castile and León: biomass, carbon capture, green hydrogen and green e-methanol. Sources put the combined investment at €2.8bn to €2.85bn and direct employment at around 700. The largest individual schemes are La Robla Green (around €850m, some 200 operational jobs), the plant in the Zamora Norte industrial park at Monfarracinos (around €700m) and Villadangos Green (around €500m, due on stream in the second half of 2026). The projects are at different stages; the figures come from the company's announcement and were reported consistently by several regional outlets. — Source: https://www.elespanol.com/castilla-y-leon/economia/empresas/20260727/empresa-energetica-creara-empleos-directos-invertira-millones-euros-castilla-leon/1003744335447_0.html

Horse Powertrain (the Renault–Geely joint venture) is investing €45m in Valladolid in a 3,500 m² foundry for aluminium cylinder heads using tilt casting, with a capacity of 300,000 units per year (expandable by 20%) and around 150 jobs. The site, with over 60 years of Renault history, is thus positioned as a strategic hub for hybrid powertrain technology. — Source: https://www.eldebate.com/espana/castilla-y-leon/20260721/planta-45-millones-consolida-castilla-leon-como-referente-automocion-europa_441698.html

After a construction phase that began in June, Adif AV reopened the Vilecha gauge changer south of León and the 7 km double-track section to León station on 27 October 2025; trains between Madrid and Asturias no longer have to reverse there and save up to 15 minutes. The section belongs to the second-track project on the Palencia–León high-speed line (41.5 km of double track, €95.2 million incl. VAT, funded from NextGenerationEU), after which 75% of the line will be double-track. The article gives no completion date for the project as a whole (LOK Report, 29 Oct 2025; Vía Libre, 27 Oct 2025). — Sources: https://www.lok-report.de/news/europa/spanien/62527-spanien-wiederinbetriebnahme-der-spurweitenumstellung-in-vilecha-suedlich-von-leon.html · https://vialibre-ffe.com/noticias.asp?not=44802&cs=infr

The 24.648 km railway tunnel (Spain's second-longest) with two separate bores runs beneath the Cantabrian Mountains, connecting Castile and León with Asturias. Built by state infrastructure operator ADIF, it was inaugurated on 29 November 2023 in the presence of King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, with commercial operation starting 30 November 2023. Asturias gained its first connection to a high-speed rail line, cutting Madrid-Gijón travel time from over five hours to about 3:46. — Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pajares-Tunnel
