Apple iPhone Maker Foxconn rolls out 3 Autonomously Developed Electric Vehicles
04 November 2021: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., known as Foxconn and Apple iPhone Maker, recently launched for the first time, three autonomously developed electric vehicles. These are: the Model C recreational vehicle, the Model E sedan and the Model T electric bus. The announcement was made during the live streamed Hon Hai Tech Day 2021 event. This move underlines Foxconn’s determination to become a global next-generation automotive manufacturer.
Young Liu, Chairman of Hon Hai Technology Group, introduced three autonomously developed electric vehicle models to media and guests. Lilian Chen, CEO of Yulon Motor Group, appeared alongside a Model C electric vehicle together with Shen Jong-chin, Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan, who was present.
Foxconn is a Taiwanese multinational electronics contract manufacturer with its headquarters in Taiwan. Upholding the company’s vision which symbolizes the infinite possibilities created by the Group’s industrial advancement and emerging technologies, this year’s Tech Day focused on four core themes: Passion, Technology, Software and Experience.
Terry Gou, Founder of Hon Hai, made a surprise appearance by driving out in a Model E electric car. He has always believed that the adoption of electric vehicles would inevitably be a global trend by the simple fact that it has become the world’s largest and most expensive smart electronic device. He believes that with the strong capabilities in electronic manufacturing, including semiconductors, modules, precision machinery and operation, Taiwan can play a key role in the development of electric vehicles.
Lilian Yen Chen, CEO of Yulon Motor Group said that within less than a year since its establishment, Foxtron, the joint venture between Hon Hai and Yulon Motor, has successfully demonstrated Hon Hai’s strong capability and speed of delivery as well as Taiwan’s decades-long history of research and development expertise. Yulon Group’s Luxgen and CMC proprietary brands will be the first key partners to adopt Foxtron’s product platform.
