Foxtron Vehicle Technologies is a pure electric vehicle brand from Taiwan, China, established as a joint venture in 2020 between Hon Hai Technology Group (the parent company of Foxconn) and Yulon Group, with its headquarters in New Taipei City. The brand positions itself as “the Android of the EV world,” operating on a core CDMS (Contract Design and Manufacturing Service) model that provides full-chain solutions to global automakers, ranging from vehicle design and development and key component supply chain management to manufacturing.
In December 2025, Foxtron acquired the LUXGEN brand under Yulon and its entire Taiwan sales channels for 787.6 million New Taiwan Dollars. This move shifted Foxtron from a behind-the-scenes R&D role to the forefront, establishing it as a consumer-facing electric vehicle brand with its own commercial presence. Foxtron listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2024 (Stock Code: 2258), and as of the end of 2025, it had approximately over 400 employees.
The birth of Foxtron is rooted in Foxconn’s multi-year layout in the automotive industry. In 2005, Foxconn fully acquired Antai Electrical Industry, one of Taiwan’s four major automotive harness manufacturers, officially entering the automotive parts manufacturing field. Over the following decade, Foxconn gradually became a parts supplier for automakers such as Tesla, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. In 2014, Foxconn founder Terry Gou launched the New Energy Vehicle project under the code name “A-Fu Initiative,” but it failed to reach mass production.
In 2020, Foxconn Chairman Lavon Liu officially proposed the MIH Electric Vehicle Open Platform strategy, announcing that the company would not launch its own brand initially but would focus on contract manufacturing for automakers. That same year, Foxconn and Yulon Group established the joint venture Foxtron Vehicle Technologies, with both parties holding 45.6% and 43.8% respectively, while the remaining shares were held by other investors. On October 18, 2021, at Hon Hai Tech Day, Foxconn officially released the Foxtron brand and displayed three prototype vehicles: the Model C (pure electric mid-size SUV), Model E (pure electric mid-to-large sedan), and Model T (pure electric bus). In the same year, Foxtron signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Nidec to jointly develop key components of the electric drive system.
In the following years, Foxtron entered the product verification and cooperation expansion stage. In 2023, the Model C prototype was launched through the LUXGEN sales channel under the brand name “LUXGEN n⁷,” marking the first mass-produced reference vehicle from Foxtron Vehicle Technologies. In 2024, Foxtron displayed the Model B prototype at the Geneva Motor Show, with its exterior design created by the Italian Pininfarina design studio. In May 2025, Foxtron signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mitsubishi Motors to develop and supply pure electric vehicles for Mitsubishi, planned for sale in the Australian and New Zealand markets.
In December 2025, Foxtron fully acquired the LUXGEN brand, along with its Taiwan sales subsidiary, dealer networks, and employees, for 787.6 million New Taiwan Dollars, officially entering the market with its own brand, “Foxtron.” On December 25 of the same year, the brand’s first commercial model, the Bria, was officially launched. On February 6, 2026, user deliveries of the Bria began, ushering in a new stage of brand commercialization.
Foxtron’s product strategy presents a dual-track parallel pattern of “Reference Prototype” and “Commercial Mass-produced Vehicle,” while providing customized whole-vehicle solutions for OEM clients.
Bria (Originally Model B Production Version): Foxtron’s first commercial pure electric crossover wagon, launched in December 2025. Body dimensions are 4,315 × 1,885 × 1,535 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. The appearance was designed by the Italian Pininfina design studio, and it comes standard with a 57.7 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack. It is available in three configurations: Rear-wheel Drive Elegant (single motor, range 516 km NEDC), Rear-wheel Drive Emerge (single motor), and Four-wheel Drive Flagship Pioneer (dual motor, 400 horsepower, 0–100 km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds, range 466 km NEDC). The prices for the three are 899,000, 1,049,000, and 1,149,000 New Taiwan Dollars, respectively.
Cavira (In Development, Released on May 20, 2026): Foxtron’s second pure electric wagon, which will replace the market position of the original LUXGEN n⁷. It has completed testing and certification by the Taiwan Energy Administration; only one 468-horsepower dual-motor four-wheel-drive model passed the test, with a WLTC range of 538 km and energy efficiency of 5.8 km/kWh. The appearance adopts a through-type light strip and S-Duct diversion design similar to the Bria, and the center console features a vertical large-screen layout.
Model C (Reference Prototype): The first displayed mid-size SUV prototype, equipped with the MIH platform, with a wheelbase range of 2,750–3,100 mm, adaptable to multiple power configurations (front axle motor 95–200 kW, rear axle motor 150–340 kW). It was mass-produced and delivered in the form of the “LUXGEN n⁷.”
Model E (Reference Prototype): A pure electric mid-to-large sedan prototype, first displayed at Hon Hai Tech Day in 2021, focusing on luxury and performance positioning.
Model T (Pure Electric Bus): One of the earliest models to achieve mass production for the brand, already put into operation in many public transportation systems in Taiwan.
In addition, Foxtron also provides MIH Open Platform technology authorization services, supporting automakers in customizing the development of various models such as sedans, SUVs, and MPVs based on this platform.
2025 was a key year for Foxtron to transform from a B2B R&D service provider to a B2C whole-vehicle brand. In 2025, Foxtron Vehicle Technologies reported an operating revenue of 4.146 billion New Taiwan Dollars and a net loss of 3.742 billion, with the loss widening compared to the same period last year (which saw a loss of 2.137 billion). Although still in a loss-making phase, the pre-sales performance of the brand’s first commercial model, the Bria, exceeded expectations.
As of the official start of deliveries on February 6, 2026, Bria pre-sales orders surpassed 1,000 units. Among these, the mid-level Emerge model was the most popular, accounting for 65% of orders, followed by the flagship Pioneer model at 20%, while the entry-level Elegant had the lowest proportion. The brand has set a monthly sales target of at least 1,000 units, with optimistic expectations of ranking first in sales among Taiwan’s domestic electric vehicles.
Foxtron’s technology system is built around the MIH Open Platform (Mobility in Harmony), which serves as the core technical asset for the brand to provide CDMS services to global automakers.
MIH Modular Platform: This is a pure electric exclusive modular architecture with a wheelbase that can flexibly extend between 2,750 mm and 3,100 mm, supporting various body shapes such as hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, and MPVs. Suspension schemes are compatible with different combinations, including front MacPherson/rear torsion beam and double wishbone/multi-link setups. Powertrain options include single-motor front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or dual-motor four-wheel drive layouts. Key components of the battery, motor, and control systems are independently developed by Foxconn, with plans to achieve a 40% parts self-production rate for the whole vehicle in the future.
Electric Drive System: The motor power range is extensive. Front axle motors cover three grades: 95 kW, 150 kW, and 200 kW. Rear axle motors cover four grades: 150 kW, 200 kW, 240 kW, and 340 kW. In the Bria model, the dual-motor four-wheel-drive version delivers a combined output of 400 horsepower, achieving 0–100 km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds.
Power Battery and Range: The Bria series uses a 57.7 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack. The single-motor rear-wheel-drive version offers an NEDC range of 516 km, while the dual-motor four-wheel-drive version has a range of 466 km. The charging interface follows the CCS1 standard and supports DC fast charging.
Intelligent System: The Bria comes standard with a 9.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.5-inch floating center touch screen, supporting a complete vehicle infotainment system. The Cavira model will be equipped with a more advanced ADAS driving assistance system. The MIH platform layer maintains deep cooperation with NVIDIA in the research and development of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Design Engineering Capabilities: Foxtron is the only enterprise in Taiwan possessing whole-vehicle forward-looking development and system validation capabilities. Exterior design is entrusted to the Italian Pininfarina studio, while chassis and system architecture integrate the optimization experience of the US engineering team.
Foxtron has been positioned as an international-level electric vehicle brand “based in Taiwan, looking towards the global market” since its inception. Its overseas expansion is mainly carried out through two models: CDMS contract manufacturing cooperation and parts supply.
Mitsubishi Motors Cooperation (Oceania Export): In May 2025, Foxtron signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mitsubishi Motors to develop pure electric vehicles for Mitsubishi and supply them in OEM form. The vehicle is produced at the Miaoli Sanyi Factory of Yulon Motor in Taiwan and is planned to be officially launched in the Australian and New Zealand markets in the second half of 2026, included in Mitsubishi Australia’s 2030 product plan.
Saudi Arabia (Parts Supply): Foxtron cooperates with the electric vehicle brand Ceer, a joint venture involving the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), by supplying parts to Ceer. There are also future plans to establish a factory for production within Saudi Arabia.
US Market Layout: Foxtron Chairman Lavon Liu revealed at the 2025 investor meeting that the brand would announce a new US partner by the end of the year, noting that negotiations were currently underway with multiple car manufacturers.
Europe and Japan Cooperation: Foxtron continues to maintain negotiations with Japanese and European automakers regarding electric vehicle projects, while actively expanding parts supply relationships with large automobile manufacturers such as the Stellantis Group.
Global Capacity Planning: Foxconn previously announced plans to establish electric vehicle factories in Europe, India, and South America before 2024. Foxtron will rely on Foxconn’s global manufacturing network to accelerate its overseas capacity layout.
In addition, Foxtron uses the MIH platform as a technical carrier, providing design, development, and contract manufacturing services to global automakers, with multiple international clients currently in negotiation.
Foxtron is in a key leap period, transitioning from a contract manufacturing service provider to an own-brand whole-vehicle manufacturer. On the product level, the second commercial model, Cavira, will be launched in Taiwan on May 20, 2026, as the successor to the LUXGEN n⁷, expected to enrich the brand’s SUV product line. Certification data for the Cavira shows a range of 538 km (WLTC standard) and 468 horsepower for the four-wheel-drive version. Over the next three years, Foxtron plans to further expand its product portfolio to cover more mainstream market segments.
On the market level, deliveries of the own-brand Bria began in February 2026, with the company aiming to hit a monthly sales target of 1,000 units within the year. In terms of overseas business, the export vehicle manufactured for Mitsubishi is scheduled to land in the Oceania market in the second half of 2026. This marks the first time Foxtron electric vehicles are exported overseas in OEM form, representing a substantial first step in the brand’s internationalization. Additionally, strategic cooperation details with US automakers are expected to be revealed by the end of 2026, and the Saudi parts supply project is also progressing.
On the technology and capital front, Foxconn subsidiary Bon Shin International announced in April 2026 that it would increase its stake in Foxtron, with a single acquisition limit of up to 12 million common shares, demonstrating the parent company’s confidence in its long-term development. Foxtron will continue to invest in the R&D of advanced ADAS driving assistance systems and next-generation electric drive platforms. It will also continue to attract cooperation from global automakers through the MIH open platform, steadily moving toward the strategic goal of “capturing 10% of the electric vehicle market within seven years,” as proposed by Chairman Lavon Liu.
