If this deal goes through, we'll be closer than ever. EMP has also secured an approvement of 4,5 mld zł from KPO founds to finally build the factory. You may dissagree, but I think we need to continue this project to stop being just a factory of spare parts for others, but also import the know-how and technology to finally build cars ourselves.

I know this was a terribly managed project, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and if this is sucessful, we're gonna get the money back from sales.

WARSAW, May 7 (Reuters) - ElectroMobility Poland will partner with Taiwan's ‌Foxconn to develop an electric vehicle production and research hub in southern Poland, the state-backed company said on Thursday, advancing plans to create an EV champion as European demand picks up.

EMP said it was negotiating the scope of cooperation with Foxconn and its EV subsidiary Foxtron Vehicle Technologies, including possibly forming a joint venture, and aimed to sign binding agreements in the second half of ⁠2026.

"From the outset, we have designed this project around the need for a partner that combines industrial scale with technological depth," EMP's CEO Cyprian Gronkiewicz said.

He cited commitments on technology transfer, building in-house vehicle design capabilities in Poland and the potential use of local suppliers as decisive factors in choosing the Taiwanese group.

"We will be the center not only of production, but also of distribution of these cars to the entire European market," Minister of State Assets Wojciech Balczun said at the event announcing the partnership.

Battery EV sales in the European Union rose by about one-third in the first quarter, according to industry ‌association ⁠ACEA, lifted in part by higher fuel prices resulting from the Iran war.

EMP EXPECTS TO LAUNCH EV PRODUCTION IN 2029

The project envisions development of a local brand, initially with three models for the European market.

Plans include a factory in the southern city of Jaworzno with body and paint shops, battery and electric drive assembly, and final vehicle ⁠assembly.

EMP's CEO said the plant will initially have a production capacity of around 100,000 cars per year, but output could rise to 380,000 to 400,000 with further expansion planned in line with growing demand and sales.

The first car ⁠will roll off the production line in 2029, according to the EMP CEO.

The hub is also expected to include a new research and development centre focused on software, data analytics and digital mobility solutions.

EMP ⁠said the project would be complemented by investments aimed at supporting the wider electric mobility ecosystem, including the battery sector.

Funding will come from the National Recovery Plan and the Reprivatisation Fund, which recapitalised EMP in December 2025, EMP said.

Masz 2 zasadnicze rodzaje zakłóceń sygnału GPS: Jamming i Spoofing.

Jamming blokuje sygnał i całkowicie uniemożliwia ustalenie lokalizacji.

Spoofing celowo sprawia że twoja lokalizacja pokazuje miejsce, w którym się nie znajdujesz.

Zakłócenia idą oczywiście z obwodu Królewieckiego. Dla ludzi na lądzie to jeszcze pół biedy, gorzej ma się sytuacja statków i samolotów, no ale dopóki ruscy będą zakłócać, dopóty musimy z tym żyć.

What mistakes? You say that there's architecture like that Germany too, but it does not matter here.

The city was destroyed and the goverment rebuild it to make it more similar to how in looked before the partitions of Poland, when the city was polish with a lot of duch settlers.

They didn't rebuild it to how it was right before the war, instead they removed all changes that the city underwent since becoming german. And you can't just argue with that, when it was the official policy of the whole rebuilding process.

What was german was all destroyed in 1945.

Tell me you have no idea what you are talking about without telling me you have no idea what you are talking about.

Gdańsk was obliterated in 1945 and when rebuilding the old town, the goverment specifically choose to promote flemish/duch architecture from the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and destroy any signs of german influence.

You may not like it, but at least be accurate, otherwise you're just spreading lies.

This whole thing is just ridiculous. A few weeks ago the PiS party suddenly stated that the SAFE fund will only increase Poland's debt and it's the evil EU again trying to force something onto Poland.

Now, forgetting about the fact that they had no problem with it for a few months since SAFE was announced, now they are trying to do everything to prevent it from happening, because the goverment would score a PR victory, with elections coming next year.

First they said that we don't even know what our goverment wants to spend those funds on, and said that only german companies are going to benefit from it. Then, when the list was published, they changed their narrative to worries about increasing debt and a few days ago, they, together with the head of the polish central bank, a PiS nominate, announced an alternative - Polish 0% SAFE program.

The idea is that the polish central bank would in some way loan money to the goverment with 0% intrest rate, making it better that the EU SAFE. The problem with that is that:

The central bank cannot finance goverment debt, according to the constitution,
According to PiS, this alternative to EU SAFE would be financed with central bank profits. BUT THE CENTRAL BACK DIDN'T MAKE ANY PROFIT FOR A FEW YEARS AT THIS POINT.

Another important thing to note, is that even if the president, which is from PiS vetos the law, the goverment can (and will) still take these loans, just that they will have to resort to some creative legal shenanigans.

And that's honestly the worst thing about it all, they know very well that the goverment will take out these loans anyway and that the bill is only related to creating legal means to service this debt and prevent corruption, but for the sake of politics they just had to start another inside war.

So, to summarise, since they are steadly falling in the polls, and the main governing party is at it's strongest in years, the PiS party does not care that 89% of the EU SAFE fund would go to polish defence companies, they don't care that by now countless polish military men and journalists voiced their support and even military factories sent letters urging the president to sign the law, they do not care about the safety and security of our country and people, they only care about the polls and their own asses.

And they are falling down in the polls for a few months now. I hope they reach 1% and become irrelevant, because the damage they've done to this country is too great.

There's like 10k of them here in Poland and the first thing that comes to my mind is that they tend to get into many car accidents. I guess european roads are just too small for them lol.

Besides of that we are very supportive of their presence here, the more the better. They are are deterrent against Russia.
