Foxconn plans EV event in Japan to woo manufacturers, sources say
Foxconn is set to hold a seminar in Japan on April 9 to lay out its strategy on electric vehicles, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said, as it courts more Japanese automakers after winning a deal from Mitsubishi Motors. The Taiwan contract manufacturer, which also makes iPhones for Apple and artificial intelligence servers for Nvidia, aims to boost understanding of its EV strategy among automakers and suppliers, one of the sources said. Chief EV strategy officer Jun Seki, a former Nissan executive hired by Foxconn in 2023, is expected to speak, added the source.
