ElectroMobility Poland and Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn have announced plans to cooperate on the development of an electric vehicle production facility in Jaworzno, southern Poland.
The project would also include a research and development centre, although both parties said negotiations are still ongoing and no binding agreements have yet been finalised.
According to the companies, detailed agreements are expected to be negotiated during the second half of 2026.

ElectroMobility Poland, commonly known as EMP, was established roughly a decade ago by several Polish state-owned energy companies with the goal of developing a domestic electric vehicle industry.
The company previously introduced the Izera brand in 2020 and initially planned to begin vehicle production in Jaworzno by 2023.
Construction of the planned factory was originally expected to start in 2021, but the timeline was repeatedly delayed.
EMP later announced plans to use the SEA Platform developed by Geely for Izera vehicles.

Despite the partnership, the project struggled to advance, and production targets were postponed several times, including a revised target for late 2025.
The Polish government reportedly paused the Izera project at the end of 2024 amid slowing electric vehicle demand in Europe and continued delays.
EMP is now attempting to revive the project with support from Foxconn and its electric vehicle division Foxtron.
Foxconn has been seeking to expand its presence in the electric vehicle sector as a contract manufacturer and technology supplier.

The company already maintains EV partnerships in Asia, including cooperation with Mitsubishi, while industry reports have also linked Foxconn to potential collaboration with Nissan.
Representatives from EMP and Foxconn recently held talks in Poland involving the country’s Ministry of State Assets.
“The discussions, done with Poland’s Ministry of State Assets, and other institutions involved in the project, cover the scope of cooperation and is expected to lead to a detailed agreement package,” Foxconn said in a statement.
“Final agreement will be based on the results of negotiations and contract signing among the parties, subject to relevant regulatory requirements,” the company added.

Jun Seki, Foxconn’s chief strategy officer for electromobility, said the company aims to support EMP through vehicle platforms, engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities.
“Foxconn is deeply committed to accelerating electric mobility through open platforms, scalable manufacturing, and deep technological collaborations,” Seki said.
“Together, with Foxtron, we will foster local R&D and strengthen supplier networks to effectively serve the European market,” he added.
Cyprian Gronkiewicz, CEO of ElectroMobility Poland, said the company was seeking a partner capable of supporting both industrial production and digital vehicle technologies.
