Get ready for a game-changer in the electric vehicle (EV) industry! Taiwan's Foxtron has unveiled its Bria EV model, and it's set to make waves globally.
Foxtron, a joint venture between tech giant Foxconn and Yulon Motor, launched Bria on Thursday, offering an exciting new option for EV enthusiasts. But here's where it gets interesting: Bria is not just another EV model; it's the first of its kind to be made in Taiwan for export worldwide. Imagine that - a Taiwanese-made EV hitting the global market!
The Bria model will initially be available in three price ranges, starting from around $28,600 and going up to $36,540. That's an affordable option for those looking to go green without breaking the bank. And the best part? Foxtron aims to expand its reach beyond Taiwan, targeting overseas markets. So, get ready to see Bria on the roads of your city soon!
Last week, Foxtron announced a significant move - acquiring Yulon Motor's Luxgen passenger car brand for a whopping T$787.6 million ($24.95 million). With this acquisition, Foxtron not only gains control of Luxgen's sales subsidiaries, outlets, and employees but also plans to launch its Model B EV in Taiwan under the Bria brand. Talk about a power move!
Following the transaction, Foxtron will take the reins, aiming to establish a comprehensive EV value chain in Taiwan. From product development to sales and after-sales services, Foxtron wants to dominate every aspect of the EV game. And with Foxconn, the world's leading iPhone manufacturer, owning 45.6% of Foxtron, and Taiwanese automaker Yulon owning 43.8%, this venture is backed by some serious industry heavyweights.
Foxtron operates a unique contract design and manufacturing services model, where it produces EVs for various car brands. So, not only is Foxtron bringing its own EV models to the market, but it's also a key player in the EV production for other brands. Talk about versatility!
