A government-supported Polish electric vehicle company has announced plans to collaborate with Taiwan’s technology giant Foxconn in developing an electric car manufacturing and research facility in southern Poland.
ElectroMobility Poland revealed Thursday that it will work with Foxconn to establish the production hub, marking a significant step in Poland’s efforts to build a homegrown electric vehicle industry as European markets show increased demand.
According to industry data from ACEA, battery-powered electric vehicle sales across the European Union jumped by approximately one-third during the first quarter, driven partly by rising fuel costs related to conflicts involving Iran.
ElectroMobility Poland stated it is currently discussing the details of its collaboration with Foxconn and its electric vehicle division, Foxtron Vehicle Technologies. The discussions include the possibility of creating a joint venture, with the goal of finalizing binding contracts during the latter half of 2026.
The companies expect to complete their partnership agreements in the second half of this year, which would advance the long-awaited project to its next stage.
“From the outset, we have designed this project around the need for a partner that combines industrial scale with technological depth,” said EMP CEO Cyprian Gronkiewicz.
Gronkiewicz highlighted that technology sharing, developing domestic vehicle design expertise in Poland, and the opportunity to work with local suppliers were key factors in selecting the Taiwanese company as a partner.
The proposed joint venture would create a Polish brand and distribute vehicles throughout Europe, beginning with three different models, while establishing manufacturing and technological capabilities within Poland.
The project includes constructing a facility in Jaworzno, a southern Polish city, featuring body construction and painting facilities, battery and electric motor assembly operations, and final vehicle assembly lines.
The Jaworzno location will also house a new research and development center specializing in software development, data analysis, and digital transportation solutions.
ElectroMobility Poland indicated the initiative would include additional investments to support the broader electric mobility industry, including battery manufacturing.
Financial backing will come from Poland’s National Recovery Plan and the Reprivatisation Fund, which provided new capital to EMP in December 2025. The Taiwanese partner will contribute both technological expertise and financial resources, according to the company.
ElectroMobility Poland was established in 2016 by four state-controlled utility companies to lead Poland’s domestic electric vehicle ambitions, though the initiative has faced multiple delays and strategic changes over the years.
