Mercedes-Benz will invest a billion euros in the Izera electric car factory in Jawor in the coming years, representatives of the German carmaker said. The company signed on Monday a memorandum of understanding for the development of the factory in Jawor with the Polish government and the Walbrzych Economic Zone.
Mercedes director Mathias Geisen said that the investment is part of the company’s wider strategy to focus primarily on the production of zero-emission cars.
“We are moving towards purely electric vehicles, towards digital solutions. This is a huge effort for the transportation of the future. This is especially true for commercial vehicles, which is why I am extremely pleased that we have signed a memorandum, an agreement with the Polish government and other business partners," Gisen said at the ceremony.
Polish prime minister Morawiecki said the launch of production is scheduled for 2025, and the plan will create up to 1,000 new jobs.
