Electromobility: The Automotive Industry Association of the Slovak Republic considers political ambitions to reduce emissions and their constant and fundamental changes to be the greatest threats to future development, as Slovak education and the sufficiency of a qualified workforce are also perceived as a risk factor.
There are about 340 Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in the Slovak automotive market. Their respond to E-production trend is sequential and OEM dependent. Recent activities worth highlighting include Intercable (EUR 23million investment into production’s expansion of high voltage cables for E-cars), Schaeffler (new R&D center to develop and test new powertrain modules for hybrids and E-cars), U.S. Steel (EUR 130 million/investment of the decade into production upgrade of electro-technical steel used in generators, transformers and E-cars), Panasonic Industrial Devices Slovakia (EUR 70 million investment to build in five years a factory with expanded accessories production for E-car batteries with 450 employees), Sygic (first comprehensive electro-mobility solution as part of Sygic GPS Navigation developed with Plugsurfing company), MSM Group (new factory for the production of E-car charging stations with the goal to produce 2,500 units by 2022.) and Electroad (startup developing intelligent algorithm providing reliable prediction of range, consumption and route parameters to E-drivers).
