Stellantis 首席执行官卡洛斯·塔瓦雷斯 (Carlos Tavares) 认为与富士康合作将获得竞争优势 |
Stellantis and Apple iPhone contract assembler Foxconn have struck an agreement to form a joint venture company – and supplier in the auto industry – focused on developing connected car technologies.
他们表示，这个名为 Mobile Drive 的合资企业将加快业内最先进的车载和联网汽车技术的上市时间。此外，合资公司还将与Stellantis等汽车行业公司竞标全球汽车项目合同
Mobile Drive will combine Stellantis’ global vehicle design and engineering capabilities with Foxconn’s specialisation in the rapidly changing software and hardware realms of smartphones and consumer electronics. The two companies claimed they aim to be at the frontier of in-cabin information and entertainment capabilities, seamlessly connected inside and outside the vehicles in which they are installed.
“Today, there’s something that matters just as much as beautiful design or innovative technology, it’s how the features inside our vehicles improve the lives of our customers,” said Carlos Tavares, Chief Executive Officer at Stellantis. “Software is a strategic move for our industry and Stellantis intends to lead with Mobile Drive, a company that will enable the swift development of connectivity features and services that mark the next great evolution of our industry, just as electrification technology has.”
“The vehicles of the future will be increasingly software driven and software defined. Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever increasing software driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out. Mobile Drive will meet and exceed these expectations with teams of designers and software and hardware engineers,” said Chairman Young Liu at Foxconn. “This is a natural extension of Foxconn’s global leadership in the development and application of smart technologies to improve the quality of life of consumers around the world.”
Mobile Drive 的所有开发项目将由 Stellantis 和富士康共同拥有。这家总部位于荷兰的合资企业将作为汽车供应商运营，通过竞标为 Stellantis 和其他感兴趣的汽车制造商提供软件解决方案和相关硬件。
“Leveraging Foxconn’s extensive knowledge of user experience and software development in mobile ecosystems, Mobile Drive will offer the disruptive smart cockpit solution that will seamlessly integrate the automobile into the driver’s mobile-centric lifestyle,” Calvin Chih, Chief Executive Officer at FIH (a Foxconn business division).
“With this partnership, we will push the boundaries in connected car technology and bring immersive experiences yet to be imagined,” said Yves Bonnefont, Chief Software Officer at Stellantis. “Mobile Drive ultimately gives us the agility we need to provide the digital experience of the future at the speed our customers demand.”
Mobile Drive将专注于信息娱乐、远程信息处理和云服务平台开发，软件创新预计将包括基于人工智能的应用、5G通信、升级的无线服务、电子商务机会和智能座舱集成。
