TAIPEI, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The MIH Consortium, an open electric vehicle (EV) initiative by Hon Hai

Technology Group (Foxconn), showcases expertise and innovation in the

automotive supply chain on the global stage at 2023 Auto Shanghai. With over

2,600 global members across 14 working groups, MIH is striving to establish a

comprehensive EV supply chain, with a particular focus on enabling the future

of smart cities for mobility service providers and fleet operators.

Last November, MIH launched "Project X" to provide partners interested in

entering the EV market with the freedom to select vehicle segment and

specifications via a modular and highly customizable system. To showcase

Project X's open and agnostic spirit and the technical achievements of MIH's

working groups, an A-Segment three-seater electric vehicle has been designed as

the initial demonstration model. The project is progressing steadily, and the

Project X prototype is scheduled to make its debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility

Show in Tokyo in October, with six-seater and nine-seater prototypes also

expected to be launched within the next two years.

Jack Cheng, CEO of MIH Consortium, has reaffirmed the consortium's commitment

to play a pivotal role in the future of global smart cities, participating

actively in enabling services such as ride-hailing, carpooling, car-sharing,

delivery, and logistics fleets. Cheng has further revealed that MIH plans to

launch Proof of Concept (POC) projects in Southeast Asia, including Thailand

and Japan, with the B2B approach based on "Project X" being the foundation in

defining MIH's portfolio of EV products. Additionally, MIH has announced its

intention to develop a new range of electric vehicles including tuk-tuks and

commercial vehicles, including mini vans, 3.5-ton trucks, and 5-ton trucks.

Following MIH's participation in Taiwan's largest smart mobility exhibition,

"2035 E-Mobility Taiwan & Taipei AMPA," their partners C2A Security, DeepDrive,

Elaphe, FEV, Foxconn Industrial Internet (Fii), HCMF Group, Longsys, UL

Solutions and Voyager Technology is making another strong impression at the

2023 Shanghai International Auto Show, demonstrating cutting-edge technology

solutions.

MIH is set to make significant strides in the global electric vehicle and smart

mobility markets. The anticipated debut of the Project X prototype along with

new smart city initiatives will be made at the Japan Mobility Show in October.

MIH is committed to the development of smart city, customizable and modular

vehicles, and global partnerships to offer compelling option for businesses

seeking smart EV and mobility solutions.
