Revenue also rose to 1.55 trillion New Taiwan dollars ($48.1 billion).\nThe reason? Foxconn’s business making AI servers.\nThe past year has been “all about artificial intelligence,” Foxconn chairman Young Liu said in a pre-recorded opening speech before he went on stage at the company’s annual Tech Day, on Oct. 8 in Taipei. \nThat same day, Foxconn revealed it was making the world’s largest production facility for the GB200, a key component of Nvidia’s next-generation Blackwell computing platform.\n“Everyone is asking for Blackwell. The demand is awfully huge,” Benjamin Ting, Foxconn’s senior vice president for cloud enterprise solutions, told the Tech Day audience on Tuesday. \nLiu later told reporters the new Foxconn plant was planned to be built in Mexico. \nRight place, right time\nFoxconn controls about 40% of global market share for servers and its jump in AI revenue could be a case of “right place, right time,” Kirk Yang, chairman of Kirkland Capital and longtime Foxconn watcher, says. The company could leverage both “years of server experience” and a close relationship working with Nvidia. \nYet Yang thinks another of Foxconn’s recent business ventures is a better bet for the company: electric cars. \nFoxconn, which has been in the EV business since 2019, officially unveiled two more EV prototypes this week. First is the Model D, a multipurpose utility vehicle, and the Model U, a “midi-sized” electric bus.\n\n\n\n  TAIPEI, TAIWAN - OCTOBER 09: Foxconn electric vehicle Model D is on display during the Hon Hai (Foxconn) Tech Day 2024, in Taipei, Taiwan, on October 9, 2024. Taiwan-based Hon Hai Technology Group, also known as Foxconn Technology Group internationally, which has been manufacturing products for Apple, unveils several new Foxtron electric vehicles, including the Model D and Model C, and mid-sized electric bus Model U. Advanced technologies such as super computing centers featuring NVIDIA chips and Artificial Intelligence (AI) functions, semiconductors and wafers are also showcased at the exhibition.

Chiang said the growth in the EV market has slowed and some mainstream auto brands have slowed research and development for EVs, and she thinks it may be helpful for those companies to work with Foxconn and leverage the Taiwanese firm’s strength in manufacturing and cost. \nFoxconn’s EV division already has a Japan connection. Its chief strategy officer for EVs, Jun Seki, spent over three decades at Nissan and two years at Japanese electric motor manufacturer Nidec before moving to Foxconn in early 2023. Seki told Nikkei Asia Foxconn expects to sign manufacturing agreements with two Japanese automakers by the end of this year.\nFoxconn could also find success with commercial vehicles, rather than personal passenger cars. Chinese EVs could end up dominating the market for the latter, as fierce price competition at home leads to more affordable models overseas. \n“China players’ focus is still on the consumer right now,” Chiang says.\nThis story was originally featured on Fortune.com","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"Product Release","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2474222846"}
