JAKARTA - The Polish national electric car program through Izera will now be supported by Geely Holding Group. The Chinese automaker will supply Electro Mobility Poland (EMP) with the modular electric vehicle platform that will form the basis of the Izera range. This information comes from Geely, on Thursday, November 17th.

The Izera is a key element in Poland's efforts to capitalize on the shift to electric vehicles to help its auto sector catch up with regional rivals including the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

"Poland plays an important role in the European auto industry and I am confident that this agreement will enable a faster transition to electric drive cars, creating broader economic opportunities in the field of electromobility," said Daniel Donghui Li, chief executive of Geely Holding Group in a statement, as reported by Reuters.

Izera will use Geely's SEA platform, the company said, making it the first company from outside the Geely group to do so. The platform consists of the mechanical and software elements that form the basis of the car.
