Why does Spain have no car brands?

In Spain, there are surprisingly no car brands, although it is the sixth largest car producer in Europe. This is because in the early 20th century, the country focused more on producing agricultural machinery, leaving the car industry to other countries. In the 70s, when the government tried to create its own car brand, it was unsuccessful due to financial and technological limitations. The lack of a Spanish car brand can be attributed to the country’s slow industrialization, as well as its focus on other industries. Spain also does not have the necessary resources to support a car brand, such as a strong automobile industry and a well-developed infrastructure.
