Royce和Azizi同是TEDxTaipei2013年的講者他們發現兩人都對「車」有著非凡的熱情因此他們決定攜手合作創立台灣第一家從事電動賽車與超級跑車的研發公司。他們一路走來的心路歷程為何遇到什麼困難又為什麼選擇台灣作為這項事業的起點呢

Azizi likes to go fast. Whether it was racing mountain bikes in the 1990’s or developing manufacturing and quality processes for Tesla Motors, the faster the better. He understood that his education would continue if he chose to work on the correct projects. His search for an educational work environment lead him to the Detroit car industry, then on to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and finally to Tesla Motors in California, where he was responsible for Asia Supplier Development and began his working career in Asia (and hundreds of airplane flights) helping suppliers throughout Asia develop manufacturable products.

Azizi is currently working with Royce Hong in creating XING Mobility, the first Electric Race Car and Supercar maker and advanced vehicle engineering consultancy in Taiwan. Together, they are building solutions for high power battery system in electric racing and road cars, and providing consulting services with a focus on advanced mobility.



Royce is a designer by training, entrepreneur by circumstance, and car fiend by obsession. Born in Hollywood, he now lives in Taipei and spends his time driving, designing and connecting design with people. He has two other day jobs as the Managing Principal at XRANGE architecture and design, and CEO + Big Head of Design at IPEVO, a creator of interactive classroom tools.

Azizi and Royce met as TEDxTaipei speakers in 2013. Sparked by their shared passion for automobiles and bleedingedge technology, the two joined forces to create XING Mobility, the first ever Electric Race Car and Supercar maker and advanced vehicle engineering consultancy based in Taiwan. They believe that Motorsports are field experiments for tomorrow’s mobility engineering, and the future of transportation will emerge from progressive technologies developed for the racetracks. Currently, they are developing electric racing and road cars with very high power battery systems.
