The Mobility in Harmony Consortium (MIH Consortium) is an organization led by Foxconn to operate the MIH Open EV Alliance, which promotes an eponymous electric vehicle development platform featuring open standards. [1]

History

The MIH Consortium was created in 2020 by Foxconn to develop and promote a set of open standards for electric vehicles. [2] By fostering partnerships to create reference designs, the MIH Consortium states it intends to shorten development cycles for electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and mobility service software. [3]

In July 2022 the consortium had 2,407 members from 65 countries. [1]

CEO Jack Cheng stated in August 2023 that MIH was seeking a factory site in India or Thailand for production of the small Project X car. [4]

Project X

Project X was announced in 2022 as a modular urban vehicle. [10] At the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, MIH displayed the Project X concept, a small, three-seat battery electric vehicle for urban use. It uses two swappable battery packs designed by Gogoro for that company's electric scooters. [11] A six-seat version is scheduled to be shown in 2024, and a nine-seat version will follow in 2025. [12] Ultimately, the Project X vehicles are intended to serve as a reference design base for further customization by fleet operators. [4]
