21 November 2025, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) (TWSE: 2317), the world's largest technology manufacturer and service provider, on Friday detailed its latest progress in electromobility that combines artificial intelligence technology and modular versatility to bring diverse application scenarios to a single reference electric vehicle – the MODEL A.

Presented for the first time on stage at Hon Hai Tech Day 2025, the MODEL A is a B segment vehicle, offering B2B customers a choice of seating configurations from single to eight seats, suitable for small families and multi-generational trips. Its highly flexible interior space, coupled with compatible sliding and side-opening doors, means the same reference model can cater, as well, to the needs of taxis, commercial vans, or last-mile delivery in logistics.

“This is more than just a single model. It is a symbol of collaboration and innovation in the EV industry,” said Jun Seki, Foxconn Chief Strategy Officer for EV, with three different MODEL A’s on the HHTD25 stage.

Its design philosophy of "Being White" emphasizes purity and flexibility, blending Japanese aesthetics with scalability to adapt to various scenarios and needs. The spaciousness and convenience with strong battery and motor performance and semi-zonal control follow extensive research by Foxconn’s Japanese EV development team of local market tastes and work-life needs of users in the Japan market.

The MODEL A, which stands for affordable development, utilizes off-the-shelf components to achieve Time To Cost and Time To Market goals. Depending on customer timelines, MODEL A is expected to initially launch in the Japanese market in 2027 with potential adoption later in Southeast Asia.

The new design concept incorporates Smart Battery Management and Smart Thermal Management to extend battery life and achieve an optimal balance between comfort and battery consumption. The MODEL A can be equipped with Foxconn's self-developed LiDAR technology, showcasing the future potential of ADAS/AD systems.

For commercial vehicle use, the MODEL A's smart cockpit features Smart Translation, supporting multilingual communication. Through an immersive in-car audio experience, the "mobile room" concept is embodied, echoing SHARP Corp's the "LDK+" philosophy showcased at the Japan Mobility Show in October. This not only enhances vehicle performance and usability but also provides flexible solutions for various usage scenarios.
