Poland’s initiative to develop an electric vehicle is entering a significant phase. The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) has allocated nearly 4.5 billion złoty (approximately $1.1 billion) to ElectroMobility Poland, acquiring shares in the company. The funding, sourced from the National Reconstruction Plan, aims to facilitate the construction of a manufacturing plant in Jaworzno, with the production of the first vehicles anticipated to commence in three years, in 2029.
On August 26, NFOŚiGW officially became a shareholder in ElectroMobility Poland. This investment marks the largest in the fund’s history, as confirmed by government sources. The funds are part of the support program for low-emission economy initiatives.
In earlier developments, the general meeting of ElectroMobility Poland approved an increase in the company’s capital and appointed two representatives from NFOŚiGW to its supervisory board.
Climate and Environment Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska stated that this project is intended to not only boost electromobility but also invigorate the entire Polish industry.
Factory to Be Built in Jaworzno
A key aspect of this project is the construction of a state-of-the-art electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Jaworzno. This facility will house engineering support and a research and development center.
The project is slated for the years 2026 to 2030, with vehicle production expected to begin in 2029.
According to government plans, the objectives extend beyond merely launching the factory. ElectroMobility Poland aims to establish a complete ecosystem in Poland related to modern automotive solutions, encompassing technology development, engineering skills, manufacturing, supplier relationships, and the creation of a European car brand with its decision-making center in Poland.
The research and development center is expected to play a crucial role in adapting vehicles to meet European market demands, as well as in advancing competencies in software, data, and digital transport solutions.
Furthermore, NFOŚiGW is planning to create a local supply chain with approximately 70% of component value expected to originate from the European Union, with a significant portion produced in Poland.
This focus on local production is intended to differentiate the project from a standard assembly plant, aiming to build industrial capabilities that remain in Poland for the long term.
Collaboration with Foxconn
The project will not be solely executed by Polish entities. In May 2026, NFOŚiGW and ElectroMobility Poland signed an investment agreement and shareholder agreement. The investment is set to be realized via a joint venture with Hon Hai Technology Group, known as Foxconn, with involvement from Foxtron Vehicle Technologies.
This collaboration with the Asian partner is expected to facilitate technology transfer and enhance local competencies, while also establishing a production and supply chain capable of servicing the European market.
Largest Investment in NFOŚiGW’s History
The scale of this investment makes it remarkable from the perspective of the fund itself. NFOŚiGW Vice-President Paweł Augustyn described it as the largest investment in the institution’s history.
According to NFOŚiGW, this investment is anticipated to foster job creation, industrial skills development, and enhance Poland’s position in the European value chain of the zero-emission transport sector.
The allocation of these funds was also commented on by the Ministry of State Assets, where Deputy Minister Eliza Zeidler stated, “We act, we do not just talk.”
