According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Czech government approved the construction of the Pilsen-Líne strategic business park at a meeting on Wednesday. The area of approximately 400 hectares belongs to the Ministry of Defense, which should transfer the land to the Pilsen region.
A factory for the production of batteries for electric cars, a so-called gigafactory, could be established on the site. On Wednesday, Škoda Auto confirmed that this location appears to be ideal and could potentially be included in the final selection for the location of the gigafactory.

The location is ideal for the Volkswagen gigafactory
The German automaker Volkswagen (VW) is most interested in the construction of a factory for the production of batteries for electric cars. The Plzen region previously stated that the car company expects to invest up to 120 billion crowns and would employ up to 4,500 people. He is deciding between the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland for his intention.
“Based on our internal evaluations, this location appears to be ideal in the Czech Republic and has great potential to be included in the final selection of a possible location for the Volkswagen Group’s gigafactory in Central and Eastern Europe. We believe that today’s decision of the government of the Czech Republic is a prerequisite for achieving all planned milestones and also represents certainty for future planning,” said Škoda Auto board member Martin Jahn. A final decision can be expected within a few months.
