作为全球最大的代工电子产品制造商，富士康已经在为包括苹果(Apple) iPhone在内的众多国际顶级品牌组装电子产品方面扮演着关键角色。
该公司已开始在电子产品组装以外的领域实现多元化，并开始接受竞争激烈但迅速扩张的业务电动汽车业务去年，美国推出了三款概念车。
他还宣布，该集团此前推出的电动巴士和一款家用运动型多功能车(suv)将在今年年底前开始商业化生产。
“在电动汽车从概念车到量产的过程中，富士康将设计时间缩短了一半，开发成本降低了三分之一，”刘说。
富士康的计划电动汽车它在电子产品方面的作用是——成为合同建造商的首选。
该公司的策略是为客户制造汽车，而不是以原型车为指导，以自己的名义销售。
“我希望有一天我们可以为特斯拉生产特斯拉汽车，”刘告诉记者，并补充说富士康的目标是到2025年占据全球电动汽车市场5%的份额。
刘说，该公司的一个客户是台湾人汽车制造商Luxgen在不到两天的时间里，该公司就收到了1.5万名客户的N7预购订单富士康C型去年公布的。
他补充说，各种型号将在台湾、泰国和美国投入生产，同时该公司也在考虑与印度尼西亚和印度的合作，但没有提供细节。
本月，该公司与美国的INDIEV公司签署了一份谅解备忘录，将在其俄亥俄州的工厂生产第一辆indii One原型电动车。
它的合作伙伴还包括Fisker，这家总部位于美国的电子汽车初创公司希望有朝一日挑战特斯拉的霸主地位。
菲斯克最近重申计划让富士康建造即将到来的菲斯克梨将于2024年在俄亥俄州工厂投产。
多年来，苹果有一个秘密的电子汽车项目一直被广泛报道，富士康可能是一个理想的合作伙伴，考虑到它与这家总部位于加州的巨头已有的关系。

Taiwanese tech giant<\/a> Foxconn unveiled two more electric vehicle prototypes on Tuesday, including a pickup truck, saying commercial production on two other designs would start later this year.
The world's largest contract electronics maker, Foxconn already plays a lynchpin role in assembling gadgets for a host of top international brands including Apple's iPhone.
The company has moved to diversify beyond electronics assembly and embraced the competitive but rapidly expanding EV business<\/a>, unveiling three concept cars last year.
<\/div><\/div>Foxconn chairman Young Liu showed off two more prototypes at Tuesday's media event in Taipei -- a sporty hatchback<\/a> dubbed the Model B and a pickup, the Model V.
He also announced that commercial production would start by the end of the year on the group's previously unveiled electric bus and a family sports utility vehicle.
\"Foxconn has cut in half the design time and reduced development cost by a third in taking an EV from concept to production-ready,\" Liu said.
Foxconn plans to do with electric vehicles<\/a> what it did for gadgets -- become a go-to contract builder.
Its strategy is to construct vehicles for clients rather than sell them under its own name, using the prototypes as a guide.
\"I hope one day we can do Tesla cars for Tesla,\" Liu told reporters, adding that Foxconn was aiming for five percent of the global EV market by 2025.
Liu said one of its clients, Taiwanese automaker Luxgen<\/a>, had received 15,000 customer pre-orders in under two days for its N7 car, which is based on the Foxconn Model C<\/a> unveiled last year.
He added that various models will be put into production in Taiwan, Thailand and the United States while the company is also eyeing cooperation with Indonesia and India, without providing details.

<\/div><\/div>Foxconn has also started building electric vehicles for Lordstown Motors after completing its purchase of a former General Motors<\/a> plant in Lordstown, Ohio in May.
This month, it signed a memorandum of understanding with US-based INDIEV Inc to build the first INDI One prototype EV at its Ohio facility.
Its partners also include Fisker, one of a host of US-based electronic car startups hoping to someday challenge Tesla's supremacy.
Fisker has recently reaffirmed plans to have Foxconn build its upcoming Fisker Pear<\/a> model at the Ohio factory starting in 2024.
It has been widely reported for years that Apple has a secret electronic car project, something Foxconn could be in an ideal place to partner on given its existing relationship with the California-based giant.
