Foton Motors and Texas-based
Freescale Semiconductor will combine their collective knowledge to open the Foton-Freescale Automotive Joint Lab. The lab will focus on developing
software and system-level solutions for use in upcoming Foton vehicles. Both companies will collaboratively work towards developing relevant electronic control technology for applications that included hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs). By focusing on electronics and, more specifically, on software development, the Joint Lab hopes to introduce technology that can reduce vehicle emissions while also increasing the "economic performance and comfort of vehicles."
Speaking on behalf of Foton Motors, Wu Xeubin, the company's vice president and director of engineering research said:
Foton Motor has been committed to promoting energy and environmental technology in the automotive industry, and has proved continuous breakthroughs in new energy-driven vehicles over the past years. The opening of the joint lab will provide wings for Foton Motor products to fly into a promising future.
Wings and flying? We're not exactly sure what this statement implies, but it seems that the Joint Lab will be trying to help Foton Motors reach new heights.
