Foxconn, known as "the world's largest foundry, does not seem to want to be firmly labeled all the time, in recent years, Foxconn has been engaged in the transformation of new industries, and constantly develop new technologies, and electric vehicles are one of the most important directions."
At Hon Hai Technology Day last year, Foxconn launched three pure electric new cars at one time, namely Model C, Model E and Model T, and officially released the pure electric vehicle brand Foxtron.
Yes, the Model E is the car that stole the tesla edamame series name, according to Musk's plan that year, Tesla's first 4 cars are called SEXY (sexy) combination. I don't know if Foxconn deliberately wants to "touch porcelain" Tesla?
A few days ago, according to media reports in the Bay Area, Foxconn is about to officially deliver the Model T of the three cars.
According to previous information, Model T positions electric buses for public transportation travel (Model C positions pure electric medium-sized SUVs, Model E is pure electric medium and large sedans). Its design ideas focus on simplicity, echoing the urban design of the future of cleansing. And in order to interact with the city's residents, it is also equipped with a series of sensors and smart functions. It can be achieved, for example, when cornering, indicating the path of the wheel by illuminated lines. Another example is by making a humming sound to warn pedestrians near the vehicle. If there is an obstacle or pedestrians are too close, the Model T will also remind the driver or actively slow down.
Since it is a "bus", the interior of the Model T is mainly a large space with sufficient light, but unlike the traditional bus car, the Model T is not only the windshield, but also with three aspects of the driver to understand the outside environment of the monitoring screen.
At the same time, Model T has made exclusive improvements to the frame to ensure the reliability of the vehicle, so that according to Foxconn, its chassis exceeds the minimum durability standard of the US FTA by 50%. And passed the 1000 hours test of the full-size vehicle crash test center.
For the most core of pure tram technology, it is understood that Foxconn has built a network covering the upstream and downstream of the automotive industry for more than ten years, such as self-research and investment in batteries, and its lithium technology specializes in the development and production of lithium batteries, and holds 1.1% of the shares of CATL. Finally transformed into the Model T, it achieved a pure electric endurance of 400 kilometers, and it was possible to cross the entire territory of Taiwan at one time without charging.
Although the Model C and Model E passenger cars for mass consumers do not currently have a clear delivery plan. However, after half a year, the first model Model T will achieve mass production, in fact, it can already glimpse Foxconn's determination and strength in building cars.
