Ebro: From trucks to electric SUVs, the new era of the Spanish brand
Since the 1950s, the name Ebro has resonated strongly in the world of transport in Spain.

The passage of time and integration into the Nissan group led to the end of the brand's marketing, which ended up being absorbed and relegated to the background. However, today Ebro returns to the news with a renewed proposal: the manufacture of electric vehicles in the former Nissan factory in Barcelona, becoming committed to sustainable mobility but without losing its industrial essence. Despite having been back for a short time, the firm already presents specific models on its website—among which the S700 and S800 stand out—thus confirming that Ebro's electric adventure is a palpable reality.
