Foxconn will build cars for Fisker, with mass production in 2023 and an annual production capacity of 250,000 vehicles

Recently, Foxconn and Fisker jointly announced that Foxconn will build cars for Fisker. According to the announcement, the car manufactured by Foxconn will be mass-produced as early as the fourth quarter of 2023, with an initial annual production capacity of 250,000 vehicles.

Although this "cross-border cooperation" seems a bit incredible, considering the corporate characteristics of Foxconn and Fisker, this cooperation is actually very natural.

It is understood that Fisker is a battery-powered car company founded by veteran car designer Henrik Fisker. In 2019, Magna International announced that it would produce the "Ocean SUV" for Fisker. From this point of view, Fisker's main focus is the lightweight operation model of cooperation with OEM factories.

As the smartphone market continues to decline and leading smartphone companies such as Apple begin to take interest in smart cars, Foxconn has also begun to actively develop its smart car manufacturing business.

For example, in October 2020, Foxconn released an electric vehicle chassis and a software platform, hoping to help automakers build complete vehicle products faster. In February 2021, Foxconn executives also revealed that Foxconn is expected to launch two lightweight models based on its own platform in the second half of 2021.

Although self-production and self-sales are still the main theme of the new energy vehicle market, with the gradual maturity of Foxconn's industrial chain and the "Fisker model", lightweight car manufacturing will surely be accepted by most car companies in the future.
