Taipei, Jan. 19 (CNA) Taiwan-based manufacturing giant Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. said on Tuesday that many companies have joined its electric car platform, which is open to outside investors interested in electric car development.
Hon Hai's Chief Technology Officer William Wei (魏國章) said during an economic forum in Taipei that the MIH Open Platform for which it has been pushing has attracted over 400 participants sharing hardware, software and an ecosystem the platform provides to take on possible bottlenecks during the development of the emerging technology.
In February 2020, Hon Hai, known as Foxconn in the global market, announced a joint venture with the Yulon Group, one of the leading carmakers in Taiwan, and they are scheduled to start rolling out electric cars in two years' time.
