While Fisker had already revealed the specs, features and the looks of the new Ocean electric SUV, it had no way to manufacture it prior to the Magna deal. Fisker was still on the hunt for the right EV architecture. At one point Fisker was in talks with Volkswagen to use the German carmaker's MEB electric architecture. Eventually Fisker landed at an agreement with Manga instead.
The agreement entails the development of a new EV platform specially engineered for the Fisker Ocean and future siblings. Dubbed the "FM29", this lightweight aluminum-intensive platform will leverage Magna's existing EV architecture and the carmaker's Fisker-Flexible Platform Adaptive Design (FF-PAD) to deliver best-in-class range, interior room with third-row seating as well as overall performance.
