Poland, Foxconn Join Hands to Build Major EV Manufacturing Hub
Poland is moving ahead with an ambitious electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing project through a partnership between its state-backed automotive initiative and Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the collaboration aims to produce hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually for both domestic and European markets.
According to Tusk, negotiations with Foxconn are expected to conclude this fall. The project will be centered in Jaworzno, southern Poland, where a new industrial hub will be established and integrated into a broader technological and manufacturing ecosystem. To support the initiative, the Polish government plans to invest 4.5 billion zlotys (approximately €1.1 billion).
The facility is expected to manufacture up to 400,000 midsize electric SUVs each year. Under the agreement, the partnership will hold exclusive rights to market these vehicles across Europe.
The project is part of Poland’s broader strategy to capitalize on growing demand for electric vehicles as the European Union tightens carbon-emission regulations for the automotive sector, despite EV adoption progressing more slowly than many policymakers had anticipated.

In addition to vehicle production, Foxconn plans to invest in a semiconductor integration and testing facility near Wroclaw in southwestern Poland. The site had previously been earmarked for a major $4.6 billion investment by Intel, but the U.S. chipmaker withdrew from the project in July last year. The new investment is expected to strengthen Poland’s position in Europe’s emerging EV and semiconductor supply chains.
