Since many Internet manufacturers such as Huawei , Xiaomi , etc. have entered the new energy track, even Foxconn , the "OK giant", has entered the ranks of car manufacturing.
On October 18 last year, the birthday of Foxconn boss Guo Taiming , Foxconn officially released its pure electric car brand Foxtron and unveiled three new cars, namely Model C, Model E and Model T.
From the perspective of the car name, it can be seen that Foxconn seems to be coming for Tesla this time. After all, Musk had previously ridiculed that he could not create an electric car , which was far more complicated than mobile phones. This time, Terry Gou had the intention of "correcting his name".
Of course, no matter how we guess, Terry Gou has completely entered the new energy track with Foxconn.
Just recently, Foxconn's parent company Hon Hai Group officially released the model preview of the new car Model B. It is reported that the new car will be built on the MIH pure electric platform.
Judging from the preview of the new car, one of the most prominent features of the new car in the appearance is that it looks very flat. The split headlights equipped on both ends are connected by luminous light strips, and the brand's logo is embedded under the light strips.
and is equipped with a large number of dot matrix decor kits at the headlights and front surrounds. The side of
adopts the hatchback design. The overall visual effect highlights the roundness of the new car. The exterior rearview mirror does not adopt the traditional design, but uses a more trendy electronic rearview mirror. As for whether the mass-produced cars can retain this design, it is still unknown.
In addition, the hidden door handles and low-resistance wheels it uses also add a bit of technology to the whole vehicle.
Although the side face of the new car looks very technological, some netizens still don’t buy it because the side shape of the new car is very similar to that of the Volkswagen ID.3, especially at the C-pillar of the vehicle, giving people a feeling of being a picture of the cat.
Of course, the new car is not all "copying" ID.3. For example, the taillights are full of novelty. Although the taillights adopt the current through-type design, when pedestrians pass through in front of the vehicle, specific animations will be displayed at both ends of the taillights. Although the
technology is equipped with Zhiji L7 and Gaohe models, it is the first time it is equipped with hatchbacks, which further enhances the competitiveness of the new car.
As for the detailed information of body size, interior and configuration, the official has not disclosed it yet. It will take a look until the new car is unveiled.
However, there is news that the new car's range will hover at 500Km. Although this performance does not reach the current top level, it is sufficient for daily travel, and it can even easily travel between two cities 150Km apart.
It is understood that the new car is expected to be officially unveiled on the annual Technology Day held on October 18, and the first batch of mass-produced cars are planned to be officially put into production in 2023.
As a well-known Apple foundry, Foxconn actually had already invested in the new energy track as early as 2015. It first invested in Aiways Auto and reached a cooperation with Byton Auto.
However, Foxconn, which is the dominant mobile phone OEM industry, has repeatedly hit a wall in the new energy track. Byton and Aiways both fell in the fiercely competitive new energy track.
Since then, Foxconn has personally started the road of "going into the sea" to build cars.
On October 18 last year, Foxconn found Yulon Group, a well-known Taiwanese automaker. The two parties established the pure electric vehicle brand Foxtron in the form of a joint venture. In order to pave the way for Foxtron, Foxconn has also cooperated closely with many well-known car companies in the past two years. This shows that Foxconn is very concerned about Foxtron.
It is also worth mentioning that Yulon Group is the parent company of Nazhijie Automobile before. Netizens who learned this news also joked about Foxconn: Never follow the old path of Nazhijie .
Foxconn chose to "go into the sea" to build cars this time, which can be said to be adding a handful of firewood to the already lively new energy field, making it even more fire.This handful of firewood also made Foxtron's Foxtron automotive an "out of the circle", and the most discussed users are the brand's first model, Model B.
Of course, Foxconn chose to "go into business" to build cars this time, which actually has certain risks. Although car manufacturing and OEM mobile phones are roughly the same, the gap between the two is always large. As for whether Foxconn can continue to write its myth in the mobile phone field this time, it will take time to decide.
