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 combines investment, technological, and R&D potential. Based on a partnership with a renowned Asian manufacturer, the hub will focus on the mass production of electric vehicles with the participation of Polish suppliers and local manufacturing capacity. Its mission will also include developing engineering expertise and building a network of R&D centers to support innovation in key areas of zero-emission technologies, such as powertrains, vehicle software, and new materials. This project is intended not only to develop 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 full funding could not be secured by the end of 2023, which rendered its original technological and business assumptions obsolete. In this situation, it was necessary to transform the concept into a more realistic and secure model—a production and development hub that, with the participation of an experienced technology partner, focuses not only on car manufacturing but also on building domestic capabilities, a modern supply chain, and a sustainable foundation for the development of new mobility in Poland.

The production and development hub is much more than just 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 a single product, EMP is building a sustainable and scalable industrial infrastructure, including an electric vehicle factory, a research and development center, and partnerships with local suppliers, with the aim of firmly establishing Poland within the European value chain of the new automotive industry. In cooperation with a strategic partner, a new brand will be established with headquarters in Poland and EMP’s involvement in its management, which will give our country access to technology, design, and strategic decision-making.

The hub is designed to develop key competencies and technologies with high growth potential that can be further scaled up and commercialized—both within the domestic industry and in international markets. The main areas include: energy management systems (EMS), vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging, battery recycling, software-defined vehicles (SDV), integration of EVs with the smart grid, and 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. As a company in which the State Treasury holds a majority stake, EMP benefits from institutional state support and serves as an instrument 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 collaboration 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 capabilities.

The Polish automotive industry currently faces serious challenges: technological transformation, growing competition from China, and the lack of a national hub integrating industry, energy, and the IT sector. This challenge also affects Polish companies in the automotive sector. This sector currently generates nearly 8% of the country’s GDP, but its strength relies mainly 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 industry within the Polish economy. As a project supported by the State Treasury, EMP can serve as the missing link by supporting the development of domestic capabilities and strengthening Poland’s position in the new automotive ecosystem.

In 2023, the Polish automotive industry (PKD 29) recorded sales of 236.5 billion PLN, accounting for approximately 11% of Poland’s total industrial output. The industry’s exports amounted to €50.28 billion, or over 20% of Poland’s total goods exports. The main segments are parts, batteries, and automobiles. In 2024, exports declined to €45.5 billion. Despite this, the sector remains one of the key pillars of the industry.

Silesia is an industrial hub primarily due to its highly developed infrastructure—a dense network of roads, highways, and railways, as well as its proximity to several major airports. The region has a long tradition of manufacturing and industry in the automotive sector, which is why extensive economic zones, logistics centers, and technical facilities have been established here. It also has a skilled workforce and serves as a natural location for suppliers of parts and components. Silesia also faces the challenge of economic transformation toward new technologies. Hence the efforts to build a hub in this region.

Yes, despite the fact that it does not have its own brand, the Polish automotive industry is an important part of the economy. Efforts aimed at engaging state capital in the development of a joint-ownership model with a leading global partner create entirely new development opportunities for the entire sector. The Polish automotive industry needs a dynamic transformation toward state-of-the-art technologies and the establishment of a strong state presence. Strategic action in this area will help secure the sector’s achievements and leverage its potential to build its position within the EU.

Of course not. EMP is a commercial company operating on market principles—although the State Treasury is the majority shareholder, the project is not being carried out by civil servants but by managers with experience in industry, energy, and modern technologies, and thanks to a joint venture with a foreign technology partner, high management standards, know-how transfer, and full operational efficiency are ensured.

The joint venture model allows Polish capital and the public interest to be combined with the expertise of a global technology partner, which accelerates the investment, mitigates risks, and ensures access to cutting-edge solutions; Although the partner may be from China—as it is currently the leader in the electric vehicle market—what matters most are its expertise, willingness to transfer technology, and shared interests, and the project will be carried out under the full supervision of the Polish side.

The ElectroMobility Poland project is a deliberate response to the profound changes taking place in the global automotive industry. It is neither an experiment nor a symbolic gesture—it is a strategic economic and business response to the direction in which the market is actually heading. The electric vehicle (NEV) segment is currently the most dynamic and promising area of the entire automotive industry. Global competition, regulatory pressure, the investment policies of global corporations, and the European Union’s ambitious climate goals mean that this sector will determine the nature of competition in the automotive industry for decades to come.
