Slovakia, the world's #1 car producer per capita 🏆, is shifting gears with Chinese partnerships to turbocharge its automotive industry. Richard Rasi, chairman of the Slovak National Council, told CGTN that China's tech and investment are now "key drivers" in this European auto hub.
🇸🇰 Slovakia's Road to Automotive Dominance
With over 1 million cars produced annually (that's 1 car for every 5 residents! 🚘), Slovakia's economy thrives on auto manufacturing. But as the world pivots to EVs, the country needed a new battery—literally.
🔋 China's Electric Edge
Enter Chinese giants like Geely-owned Volvo and battery maker Gotion. These companies are:
⚡ Building Slovakia's first EV battery gigafactory
🌱 Bringing sustainable manufacturing tech
🤝 Creating 2,000+ local jobs
💡 Why Slovakia Chose China
Rasi highlighted three power moves:
China's EV leadership (60% of global EV sales! 📈)
Fast-tracked tech transfers 🚀
Shared vision for green mobility 🌿
As Rasi put it: "This isn't just business—it's about shaping tomorrow's roads." 🛣️✨
