SEAT is collaborating with the healthcare system by making automated ventilators with adapted windscreen wiper motors.
150 employees from several areas of the company have worked for a week on the definitive model after designing 13 prototypes.
A ventilator is currently undergoing prolonged testing as part of the approval process.

The SEAT Leon line at the Martorell plant is almost unrecognisable. Today, cars are no longer being made; instead, automated ventilators are being produced to collaborate with the healthcare system in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. Going from producing cars to ventilators in record time is the result of the intense work of many SEAT employees and a very powerful driving force: solidarity. “The motivation of everyone participating in this project is that with our know-how we can mass-produce equipment that will save lives”, explains Nicolás Mora from the Production area of SEAT Martorell.
