If successful, it will be the second vehicle introduced by the Fisker brand following the Ocean SUV’s expected launch, which is anticipated in Q4 2022.
“The creation of Project PEAR with Foxconn brings together two like-minded and complementary companies, each focused on creating new value in a traditional industry,” commented Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.
The firms said that following the MOU signing, teams from both Fisker and Foxconn will establish several workstreams focused on design, technology, engineering, and manufacturing. Due to a rapid development schedule, both companies expect to conclude discussions and enter into a formal partnership agreement during Q2 2021.
Fisker shares are sitting at $20.60 premarket, up 26.46%.
