On October 18th news, according to Phoenix Technology, Liu Yangwei, chairman of Foxconn , said at the company's annual technology day that he hopes to produce cars for Tesla one day in the future.
Liu Yangwei said that based on Foxconn's past share of the personal computer and mobile phone market, Foxconn hopes to achieve the same achievements as in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. "But we will start with the small goal and account for about 5% of the share by 2025.
Currently, Foxconn is increasing its manufacturing efforts for electric vehicles to achieve business diversification.
At the Technology Day, Foxconn also released two new electric vehicles, Model B crossover SUV and Model V electric pickup trucks, as well as Model C mass-produced version. It is worth noting that the naming of Foxconn electric vehicles is very similar to the naming of Tesla . The transformation from
to an electric vehicle manufacturer from Apple to an electric vehicle manufacturer may be related to the current major customer Apple's sales decline. At present, the iPhone 14 series has been on sale for almost a month, but some dealers have begun to sell at a price cut. In addition, the delivery time of iPhone 14 Pro model has also been significantly shortened, with the arrival time of 29 days and 30 days respectively, which is lower than the same period performance of iPhone 13 Pro.
Due to iPhone 14 series sales were lower than expected, and Apple asked Foxconn to remove some of the iPhone 14 series production lines to reduce production capacity. After achieving a record sales result in September, Foxconn said in a statement that it will be "cautiously optimistic" about the prospects for the last three months of 2022. (Text | Tianyu)
