Formosa Lithium Iron Oxide Corp. was established in 2008 and it is
committed to the development, production, and sales of anode materials for
lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. It has a monthly capacity of 400 tons and
it is the main supplier of LFP battery materials in the world. The LFP batteries
produced with its materials have been commercialized and widely used in
energy storage batteries in electric vehicles, solar energy, wind power, and
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
ICT companies in Taiwan have now taken an active interest in electric self-
driving vehicles and automotive electronics. Acer, Asus, and Lite-on are some
of the most representative ICT companies in the automotive electronics sector.
Acer was established in 1976 and is a well-known Taiwanese tech company. It
has been actively positioning itself in the self-driving market in recent years by
cooperating with Yulon, the local EV maker, to develop Taiwan's first self-driving
EV concept. The move takes the company beyond ADAS into the unmanned self-
driving sector.
In addition, a new entrant in Taiwan has also successfully developed a
battery and power system for electric vehicles. XING Mobility was established
in 2015 and it has immersion-cooled battery pack technologies and patents. It
employs high-density modular designs to achieve efficient heat dissipation and
cooling which significantly reduces the volume and weight of the batteries. It
provides flexible combinations for spatial and power requirements of different
vehicle models. The battery modules are suitable for the shapes and dimensions
of all types of vehicles and they greatly reduce the time and cost of the
development of specific vehicles. They have been used in electric supercars,
electric trucks, and conversion of traditional petrol antique cars to electric cars.
2. Central Taiwan
The central cluster is spread across Taichung City, Changhua County,
Nantou County and Yunlin County. Central Taiwan has traditionally been the heart
of Taiwan's precision machinery industry so it includes manufacturers for servo
