In 2023, this percentage decreased to 51.9%, slightly below the 2022 figure.

Challenges with railway infrastructure, a shortage of train operators, as well as locomotives and wagons, hinder surpassing the historical mark of 56.3% set in 2020.

In 2023, the plant shipped 273,223 cars, with 53% delivered by rail, including 30% to the port of Barcelona, 9.1% to Germany, and 12.8% to the coastal city of Santander.
