The Lounge retromobile Madrid, which will take place in Ifema from November 29 to December 1, will host the last commemorative events of the year for the Centennial of the birth of Eduardo Barreiros.

It will thus offer an opportunity for fans to participate and discover the industrial world of the Galician businessman.

The scheduled events, in collaboration with Eduardo Barreiros Foundation, chaired by his daughter Mariluz, will consist of a special vehicle exhibition, with information on the great industrial project that was Barreiros-Diesel, a concentration of brand vehicles during the day on Saturday 30 and a talk-debate on the figure of the businessman his work, within the Motor Events Forum.

Eduardo Barreiros in Retromóvil Madrid

It must be remembered that Barreiros developed the most important private industrial business project in Spain in the decade of the years 50 and 60. It contributed significantly to the motorization and industrialization of our country, since it manufactured 40% of heavy vehicles, with buses and trucks of all kinds. Later, it produced such iconic vehicles as the Simca 1000 or Dodge Dart, following agreements with Chrysler, which would end up buying the complex.

The Eduardo Barreiros Foundation, created in 1997 as a tribute to the figure of the Orense entrepreneur, manages his legacy and promotes, among other objectives, research in the automotive and motor world.

In 2019 it has held various events on the occasion of the centenary, so this is the last chance for fans and clubs to participate in a tribute to one of the great figures in the motor world.
