"This partnership brings together Gogoro's global leadership in urban battery swapping and smart vehicle technologies with Foxconn's extensive global manufacturing capabilities to enable mass distribution of Gogoro's smart battery swapping ecosystem and vehicles."
"As the Gogoro ecosystem continues establishing itself as the industry leader in battery swapping and urban refueling, our ability to rapidly scale our manufacturing to meet global demands is vital," adds Horace Luke, founder and CEO, Gogoro Inc. "Foxconn's global manufacturing leadership, focus on new innovative technologies and commitment to sustainable electric transportation made it the perfect fit for Gogoro. Together, our companies will be on the forefront of rolling out smart mobility solutions in cities around the world."
