Taiwan’s Hon Hai Technology and US semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices (ADI) have agreed to work together to develop digital cockpits and high performance battery management systems (BMS) for electric vehicles (EVs).

Hon Hai, also known as Apple’s main manufacturing subcontractor Foxconn, had been expanding aggressively in the global EV sector in the last few years to reduce its dependence on the iPhone maker’s business.

The company recently unveiled several BEVs based on the open vehicle platform it had developed as the leading company of the MIH Consortium.

Following the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) this week, Hon Hai said in a statement: “Our two companies are positioned to forge a transformative path by advancing software defined and more sustainable, feature rich vehicles.”

ADI CEO and chairman Vincent Roche said: “The global automotive industry continues to digitalize and differentiate at the semiconductor level to deliver a more personalized, immersive and sustainable driving experience.”

Hon Hai CEO Young Liu said: “We look forward to working with ADI to leverage its high-performance automotive electronics technology.”
