Mitsubishi Motors has announced plans to outsource the production of its electric vehicles (EVs) to Foxconn, a Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant best known for assembling Apple products. This move is expected to significantly reduce costs and accelerate Mitsubishi’s transition into the EV market.
A Strategic Partnership
Foxconn has been aggressively expanding into the EV sector, engaging in discussions with multiple automakers, including Nissan and Honda. If this collaboration materializes, Mitsubishi could leverage Foxconn’s expertise in high-efficiency production while focusing on design, marketing, and software integration.
The partnership aligns with a broader trend in the automotive industry, where companies are increasingly outsourcing manufacturing to established electronics giants. Experts believe that this model could become a standard approach for automakers looking to compete in the rapidly growing EV sector.
