Analýza dopadů rozvoje elektromobility na automobilový průmysl v České republice v kontextu regulací EU v letech 2014–2024

This master’s thesis examines the impacts of the development of electromobility on the automotive industry in the Czech Republic in the context of European Union regulations between 2014 and 2024. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the importance and development of the Czech automotive industry, assess its competitiveness in the era of electromobility, and define possible scenarios for its future development. The theoretical part introduces the foundations of environmental policy, economic approaches to climate change, the international and European regulatory framework, and theoretical concepts of competitiveness. The practical part applies secondary data analysis, time-based and cross-sectional comparison, an adapted Porter’s diamond of national competitiveness, PESTLE analysis, and the two-axis scenario method. The results show that the Czech automotive industry remains a key sector of the Czech economy; however, its future position will depend on its ability to adapt to technological change, the development of electromobility, EU regulatory requirements, and transformations in supply chains. The thesis emphasizes the need to support research and development, battery technologies, charging infrastructure, workforce reskilling, and higher domestic value added in the automotive sector.
