Geely & Foxconn Berpakat Untuk Kontrak Pembuatan EV

Gergasi pembuatan elektronik Taiwan, Foxconn bekerjasama dengan kumpulan Zhejian Geely Holding untuk mewujudkan perkhidmatan pembuatan kontrak pihak ketiga. Anggaplah ia sebagai Magna Steyr Asia (yang membuat konsep EV terbaru Sony), tetapi dengan fokus pada EV. Berita ini menjadi berita hangat mengenai desas-desus Apple Car, yang menunjukkan bahawa Hyundai Motor Group sedang berbincang dengan syarikat teknologi itu untuk membuat kenderaan pertama mereka.

Foxconn adalah salah satu pengeluar kontrak terbesar Apple. Mereka mempunyai banyak kemudahan di seluruh dunia termasuk beberapa di Malaysia. Kami boleh mendapat manfaat daripada perjanjian ini. Beberapa pelanggan terbesar mereka, tidak termasuk Apple, termasuk: Acer, Amazon, BlackBerry, Cisco, Dell, Google, HP, Huawei, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, Motorola, Nintendo, Nokia, Sega, Sony, Toshiba, dan Xiaomi. Ini benar-benar salah satu syarikat pembuatan elektronik yang paling penting di dunia, dan mereka mempunyai tujuan yang jelas untuk mendorong lebih jauh ke dalam industri EV yang sedang berkembang.

Geely adalah syarikat automotif terbesar di China (mungkin juga yang paling serba lengkap) dan sudah memiliki Volvo Cars dan hampir 10% kepentingan di Daimler, tambah kepada banyak syarikat mereka yang lain, dan anda mempunyai salah satu kumpulan automotif terpenting di dunia. Syarikat ini mempunyai kapasiti pengeluaran gabungan hampir 2 juta kereta setiap tahun. Namun, pada tahun 2020 hanya menggunakan 66% kapasiti ini, jadi berkembang melebihi dari jenama yang dimiliki sekarang mungkin diinginkan.
