It confirms that we are an attractive destination for cutting-edge technologies \u2013 we have high-quality supply chains, skilled workers, and the necessary infrastructure to compete globally,&#8221;<\/em> says <strong>Zden\u011bk Petzl, Executive Director of the Automotive Industry Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The significance of this project extends beyond the gates of the plant itself. Approximately 65% of the parts for the models manufactured at TMMCZ come from Czech suppliers, and the expansion will certainly bring new orders for dozens of domestic companies. <em>&#8220;The production of electric cars and battery systems in Kol\u00edn is a&nbsp;significant boost for the Czech supply chain. New orders will help maintain high value-added production and well-paid jobs in the Czech Republic and support further investment in modern technologies,&#8221;<\/em> adds Petzl.<\/p>\n<p>The Automotive Industry Association has long been involved in preparing an environment that allows for flexible responses to current trends, such as the production and operation of electric vehicles in the Czech Republic. <em>&#8220;I&nbsp;am proud that AutoSAP and its members are actively working with the government to implement similar strategic projects in the Czech Republic. The expansion of production in Kol\u00edn is proof that joint efforts are bearing fruit and that the Czech automotive industry is responding effectively to the transformation towards zero-emission mobility and production,&#8221;<\/em> concludes Petzl.<\/p>\n<p>The Automotive Industry Association would also like to thank Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Minister of Industry and Trade Luk\u00e1\u0161 Vl\u010dek and CzechInvest CEO Jan Michal for their support and cooperation, which contributed significantly to the realization of this strategic investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17662,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[232],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Toyota to launch production of new battery electric vehicle in Kol\u00edn.
