The Polish General Staff is preparing a document that would ban privately owned vehicles manufactured in China from entering the territory of the country’s military units and institutions.
The measure is justified by concerns about national security, the Polish Radio reported.
According to armed forces officials, modern Chinese vehicles are equipped with a large number of electronic systems and sensors that can collect data about the environment. Potentially recorded information includes photographs and video recordings, audio recordings, and geolocation data of the vehicle.
According to the assessment of the Polish army, this data set can be used for espionage purposes, especially in militarily sensitive areas. Because of this, the restriction would extend not only to barracks and military installations, but also to nearby parking lots used by civilian employees, soldiers and visitors.
Poland’s initiative is in line with a trend observed in other countries as well. in November 2025 Israel has begun seizing Chinese-made official vehicles used by officers, also citing security risks and protecting sensitive information.
The proposal is still being developed, but at the same time it reflects growing concerns at the European and international level about the use of technologies built into modern vehicles and their possible use for strategic data collection.
