Apple Partner Foxconn Takes Ownership of Ohio Car Factory

Foxconn is set to partner with Lordstown Motors, Bloomberg News reported. A key Apple partner, it further establishes the Tawainese firm in the car manufacturing space.

Will Foxconn Build the Apple Car?

Foxconn will take ownership of Lordstown’s factory in Ohio and assemble the Lordstown Endurance electric pickup truck there. It already works with another vehicle-maker, Fisker.

Foxconn is very much one of the firms in contention to manufacture an electric vehicle for Apple, and there can be little doubt having a space in the U.S. to do so will help their bid to do so.
