South Korea’s Posco International will build two new electric vehicle (EV) motor core production plants in Poland and Mexico to increase its production for overseas supplies.

This decision was made in a board meeting last week and officially announced today in the country. These two additions will lead the overall EV motor core capacity to 7 million by 2030. It will represent about 10 percent of the overall EV motor core sold in the global market.
