Why did the VW gigafactory fall full? A similar project could be done later Home

However, for so many years, the transport of important industrial brands in the Czech Republic has not been underestimated.

The automaker froze the project to build a battery factory after a year of construction. The Republic, where the car industry is the driving force of the economy, saw potentially the largest private investment in its history.

VW planned to spend a total of 120 billion crowns on the construction of a battery factory, which was supposed to move the Czech Republic to a worthy place on the map of advanced hi-tech manufacturers and to link the production of electric cars from the source of raw materials (lithium) to the production of batteries and e-cars themselves.

The government, the Ministries of Industry and Transport, the CzechInvest agency and other institutions have, after a dark meeting, set a reverse pace of preparations, one with the initially obstinate municipalities around the proposed project, as well as with intensive communication with the residents.
