We are developing automotive solutions in Poland, specifically in Silesia.

ElectroMobility Poland is responsible for establishing a production and development hub in Silesia – a modern industrial ecosystem that integrates investment potential, technological capabilities, and research and development. Based on a partnership with a renowned Asian manufacturer, the hub will focus on mass production of electric vehicles, involving Polish suppliers and local manufacturing capacities. Its goals also include developing engineering competencies and building a network of R&D centers to support innovation in key zero-emission technologies, such as drivetrains, vehicle software, and advanced materials. The project is intended not only to drive the growth of the e-mobility market, but also to strengthen the national industrial base and increase added value in the region.

The Izera project was not implemented, because by the end of 2023, full financing had not been secured, which rendered its original technological and business assumptions obsolete. In this situation, it became necessary to transform the concept into a more realistic and secure model – a production and development hub that, in cooperation with an experienced technology partner, focuses not only on vehicle manufacturing but also on building national competencies, a modern supply chain, and a lasting foundation for the development of new mobility in Poland.

The production and development hub is much more than an assembly plant and represents a completely different model from the single-brand project that Izera was. Instead of focusing on the rapid rollout of one product, EMP is building a durable and scalable industrial infrastructure, including an electric vehicle factory, an R&D center, and partnerships with local suppliers. The goal is to firmly embed Poland within the European value chain of the new automotive industry. In collaboration with a strategic partner, a new brand will be created with its headquarters in Poland and with EMP taking part in its management. This will give Poland access to technology, design, and strategic decision-making processes.

The hub is tasked with developing key competencies and high-growth-potential technologies that can be further scaled and commercialized – both within the domestic industry and in international markets. The main areas include: energy management systems (EMS), bidirectional charging (V2G), battery recycling, software-defined vehicles (SDV), integration of EVs with the smart energy grid, as well as last-mile logistics. These are fields with export and R&D potential.

The ElectroMobility Poland production and development hub project is overseen by the Ministry of State Assets and is being implemented in cooperation with the government administration. As a company with majority ownership by the State Treasury, EMP benefits from institutional state support and serves as a tool of industrial policy. The success of the project will largely depend on access to funds from the National Recovery Plan (KPO), which are intended to enable the implementation of key stages of the investment.

Yes – the investment includes not only an electric vehicle factory, but also a research and development, testing, and training center, developed in cooperation with a global technology partner. The project is intended to serve as an incubator for Poland’s modern reindustrialization, aligning with the goals of the green transition. Its ambition is to introduce a Polish automotive brand to European markets – backed by strong technological and industrial foundations.

Polish automotive is currently facing serious challenges: technological transformation, growing competition from China, and the lack of a national center that integrates industry, energy, and the IT sector. This challenge also affects Polish companies in the automotive sector. The industry currently generates nearly 8% of the national GDP, but its strength is largely based on the production of parts and components for foreign OEMs. Potential changes in market structure – such as the shortening of supply chains by international manufacturers – could directly threaten the stability and position of this strategic sector in the Polish economy. EMP, as a project supported by the State Treasury, can serve as the missing link by supporting the development of domestic competencies and strengthening Poland’s position in the new automotive ecosystem.

In 2023, the Polish automotive industry (classified under PKD 29) reached a sold production value of PLN 236.5 billion, accounting for approximately 11% of Poland’s total industrial output. The industry's exports amounted to €50.28 billion, representing over 20% of the country’s goods exports. The main segments include parts, batteries, and vehicles. In 2024, exports declined to €45.5 billion. Despite this drop, the sector remains one of the key pillars of Polish industry.

Silesia is an industrial center primarily due to its well-developed infrastructure — a dense network of roads, highways, railways, and proximity to several major airports. The region has a long-standing tradition in manufacturing and the automotive sector, which has led to the development of extensive economic zones, logistics centers, and technical facilities. It also offers a skilled workforce and is a natural location for suppliers of parts and components. At the same time, Silesia faces the challenge of economic transformation toward new technologies. This is why efforts to build the hub are being concentrated in this region.

Yes, although the Polish automotive industry does not have its own brand, it remains an important part of the economy. Efforts to involve state capital in building a co-ownership model of the project with a leading global partner create entirely new development opportunities for the entire sector. Polish automotive needs a dynamic transformation towards the most advanced technologies and the establishment of a strong state presence. Strategic action in this area will help protect the sector’s achievements and harness its potential to build a strong position within the EU.

Definitely not. EMP is a commercial law company operating on market principles – although the majority shareholder is the State Treasury, the project is not carried out by bureaucrats but by managers with experience in industry, energy, and modern technologies. Thanks to the joint venture model with a foreign technology partner, high management standards, know-how transfer, and full operational efficiency are ensured.

The joint venture model allows combining Polish capital and public interest with the expertise of a global technology partner, which accelerates the investment, reduces risks, and ensures access to advanced solutions. While the partner may come from China — currently the leader in the electric vehicle market — the key factors are their competencies, willingness to transfer technology, and alignment of interests. The project will be carried out under full supervision of the Polish side.

The ElectroMobility Poland project is a deliberate response to the profound changes happening in the global automotive industry. It is not an experiment or an ideological gesture – it is a strategic economic and business reaction to the direction the market is actually heading. The electric vehicle segment (NEV) is today the most dynamic and promising area within the entire automotive industry. Global competition, regulatory pressure, investment policies of global corporations, and the European Union’s ambitious climate goals mean that this sector will determine how competition in the automotive world will unfold over the coming decades.
