Apple Car Schematics to be submitted to Japanese auto parts manufacturers in 2020

In January 2020, a man claiming to be Apple's parts manager told Japanese auto supplier Sanden that Apple wanted to build electric vehicles and showed schematics of electric vehicle and air conditioning components.

Sanden is a leading manufacturer of automotive air conditioning components, and Apple and Sanden continue to discuss specific component requirements. However, Apple Car talks apparently faded as Sanden filed for debt restructuring with its creditors in June 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated financial woes.

While the report doesn’t provide further details about the companies’ talks, it further confirms Apple’s long-rumored electric vehicle ambitions.

Apple is accelerating work on the project and targeting electric vehicles with fully autonomous driving capabilities. Apple is aiming for a 2025 launch, but the project has faced numerous setbacks and critical deviations over the years, so the timeline is uncertain.

The above is the detailed content of Apple Car Schematics to be submitted to Japanese auto parts manufacturers in 2020. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
