Italian Torino Design designed the flavor of ElectroMobility prototypes. German online news page Deutsche Welle said ElectroMobility in talks with VW, Toyota and Hyundai about their architectures optimized for electric vehicles.
WARSAW – For air purifier manufacturer PZL Sedziszow, Poland’s ambitious plan to produce electric cars from scratch may be the catalyst that will make domestic suppliers reach their foreign rivals.
The state-owned ElectroMobility Poland has presented prototypes for the SUV and Izera tailgate, two models for the economic market that it plans to launch in 2023.
PZL Sedziszow began producing batteries two years ago and estimates that the government’s plan of five billion zloty ($1. 3 billion) to build any of the models will attract more global automakers to the market.
“Only new mobility can encourage car production in Poland,” owner and President Adam Sikorski told Reuters.
“If brands see that there are sufficient and reliable suppliers of electric car parts in Poland, they will be more willing to set up meetinghouses in Poland. “
Car production accounts for 11% of commercial production and four% of gross domestic product in Poland, less than in Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic, where the sector accounts for more than one third of commercial production.
But Warsaw believes that switching from thermal to electric cars can be just an opportunity to close the gap.
Climate Minister Michal Kurtyka predicted that Poles would adopt a national car logo and that their good luck could raise the foreign profile of the country’s suppliers.
“We have the possibility of uploading a load seasoning to this existing ecosystem,” he told Reuters.
Even if the allocation is successful, it may still give the spare parts industry a boost.
“It’s hard to produce a car from scratch and equally complicated to do so in giant volumes,” said Jens Horning, a leader in PwC CEE’s automotive industry, “but it will attract innovation and new technologies into the supplier space. “
The government’s efforts to revive the automotive industries have an asymmetrical history at best, and DeLorean’s British attempts to establish a supercar business in the 1980s proved to be an expensive and shameful failure.
Global automakers with decades of delight are already generating electric models, and the pressure on Polish public finances from the COVID-19 pandemic raises questions about how much cash they will be willing to invest in the plan.
However, advances in computer science and software have reduced technical barriers to accessing the automotive sector, en allow Deutsche Post Germany, for example, to expand its own delivery van, the StreetScooter, from scratch.
And for risk, Poland will license the production platform of a foreign partner, told Reuters Piotr Zaremba, director of ElectroMobility Poland.
He refused to call the partner, but said he was an automaker who had brought about 20 new cars in the last five years.
The Volkswagen Group has announced its goal of factoring a license for its MEB electric platform and has already reached an agreement with Ford.
VW declined to comment on the story.
“We don’t build the platform from scratch because it’s too big a threat, from a technical and advertising point of view,” Zaremba said. “Then, at every step, we check to decrease the threat through proven solutions. “
Starting smallly will allow Polish suppliers to expand in parallel with the project, thus strengthening their competitiveness, which will also allow them in foreign markets, he said.
A highly professional but inexpensive workforce has helped turn the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary into investment and production centres for global automotive brands such as VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Kia, among others.
Poland has fallen, but believes that the transition to electric mobility has created a new opportunity.
It has already used beneficial incentives to attract Asian battery suppliers such as LG Chem and Guotai Huarong to their position in the industry.
Under pressure to cut emissions, the government said in 2016 it was looking to have one million electric cars on the road by 2025. Today, with about 15,000, this is a long way off, but officials hope that interest in cars electrical power to develop. contribute to the fuel demand of Izera models.
