According to a recent media report, Foxconn is exploring opportunities to manufacture EVs in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Chairman and CEO Young Liu recently met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat at Semicon India 2023. Liu said, "Foxconn continues to expand its presence in India in response to customer needs." He went on to add that India would become a new manufacturing centre of the world.

Foxconn has been operating in India since 2005. It is the largest contract manufacturer of Apple devices in the world and is currently the top iPhone producer in India.

Foxconn – the maker of the Apple iPhone – has pulled the covers off a Pininfarina-styled electric SUV.

Apple iPhone maker Foxconn has revealed what it says is a production-ready five-door hatchback at the 2024 Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland.

The Foxtron Model B is an urban-sized SUV rival to the electric Jeep Avenger, Kia Niro and Volkswagen ID.3 with styling from the famous Italian design house, Pininfarina.

Measuring 1865mm in width, 1530mm in height with a 2800mm wheelbase and 4300mm overall length, the Model B is similar in size to its main rivals. For context, a Kia Niro is 1825mm wide, 1570mm tall, 4420mm long and has a 2720mm wheelbase.

Specific details of its electric powertrain and battery are yet to be revealed, however, the company claims the Model B will have a range of 500 kilometres when and where it goes on sale – which is also yet to be confirmed.

The Model B is one of five concepts shown since inception all using the same in-house developed MIH (Mobility in Harmony) modular architecture.

Slightly larger is the Model C, while Foxtron has also shown a Model E sedan, a Model T bus and a Model V dual-cab pick-up.

The Model B and Model E are the only Foxtrons styled by Pininfarina so far.
