Lordstown stated that the next platform and automobile program are “key” to its long-lasting technique.
“Our asset-light business model and collaboration with the Foxconn EV ecosystem, including MIH, will provide the opportunity for Lordstown Motors to create winning EVs that are tailored to the needs of customers that use them for various work applications, while gaining the cost benefits of scale,” stated CEO Edward Hightower in a declaration.
