Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT), a subsidiary of Taiwan’s Foxconn, is set to launch its first manufacturing plant in the Middle East this December. The facility, located in Saudi Arabia, will produce electric vehicle chargers and is expected to begin operations in 2026, according to Reuters.
This initiative is part of the Smart Mobility project, a collaboration between FIT and Saudi partner Saleh Suleiman Alrajhi & Sons. The effort aims to support Saudi Arabia’s clean energy objectives by developing local EV charging solutions. His Excellency Prince Fahad bin Nawaf Al Saud, chief executive of Smart Mobility, highlighted that Saudi Arabia is targeting 30 percent electrification of its vehicle fleet by 2030.
FIT has strengthened its electric mobility capabilities through recent acquisitions, including Germany’s Prettl SWH group—now FIT Voltaira—and Auto-Kabel Group, which specializes in EV wiring and connectivity systems. These moves have boosted FIT’s technical expertise for the EV market.
In preparation for the Saudi plant, FIT Voltaira has obtained certifications from the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization for several EV charger models, such as the Royal Series AC Charger and SE DC Charger. These products have already been tested or deployed at various sites across the country, ensuring compliance with local standards.
FIT projects robust growth in its mobility segment, with anticipated revenues of USD 700 million for the current year. The new Saudi facility is expected to further drive this expansion by delivering localized EV charging solutions once production commences.
