The Foxtron Cavira crossover SUV replaces the Luxgen n7 in the domestic Taiwanese market, following Foxtron's transition from OEM to customer-facing brand.
Foxtron, the electric vehicle manufacturing joint venture of Taiwanese global contract manufacturer Foxconn and carmaker Yulon, is gearing up for a major push into Europe. The move comes against a re-evaluation of the company’s US strategy in light of recent regulatory changes, tariff imposition, and the elimination of EV subsidies. Foxtron chairman Andy Lee has confirmed that the company is focusing on Europe due to its market opportunity and more attractive regulatory environment, as per Digitimes Asia.
Following international speculation, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced last week that Foxtron will set up an EV factory jointly with Electromobility Poland (EMP). It is projected to begin operations in 2029, with the capacity to scale up to 400,000 units manufactured per year. The project will leverage local suppliers and will grow to include battery and electric drive assembly facilities, body and paint shops, and also R&D and software development units. Three models will initially be launched under a new local brand.
Expanding into foreign markets will also help Foxtron scale up its R&D efforts, as the domestic market in Taiwan is limited. The EU has been steadily promoting a shift towards EVs and low-emission vehicles.
According to Lee, Foxtron’s experience with massive-scale global supply chains and its existing modular platforms will help it develop customised models for specific markets quicker than competitors. However, it has not yet had much success with overseas expansion plans.
The company, which was rumoured to be in talks to acquire Nissan last year, is also set to begin shipping right-hand-drive vehicles to Australia and New Zealand in Q4 2026, as part of its recent agreement with Mitsubishi Motors.
