As a cornerstone of its commitment to sustainable development, FOTON will concentrate its efforts on achieving the “Dual Carbon” strategy, with a target to peak carbon emissions by 2028 and attain carbon neutrality at its core factories by 2035. In 2024, the company plans to release its first ESG report and aims to achieve full value chain carbon neutrality by 2050.

In terms of its new energy strategy, FOTON places new energy at the forefront of its development strategies. FOTON is accelerating the diversification of its new energy vehicles, aiming to establish multiple technological routes.
