FOTON Unveils Innovative Solutions, Redefining Mexico's Commercial Vehicle Sector.

November 15th to 17th, the Expo Transporte Anpact International Transport Exhibition took place in Guadalajara, Mexico. As one of the most innovative and largest-scale exhibitions in the Americas, it attracted leading commercial vehicle companies such as Volvo Commercial Vehicles, Scania, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen. Seizing the opportunity for the rejuvenation of the FOTON brand in Mexico, FOTON presented its dual-line solution for commercial vehicles, labeled 'ICE+BEV,' at the transport exhibition. The event served as a platform for the unveiling of various new products, making FOTON a focal point on-site, given its rapid development momentum in Mexico.


Debuting as a flagship product in the ICE technology lineup, the FOTON AUMAN GALAXY Heavy Truck made its first appearance in international markets. As the latest generation of FOTON AUMAN R series heavy truck product, the GALAXY integrates high safety, comfort, fuel efficiency, and intelligence. The vehicle is equipped with “FotonSuperPowertrain”, meeting the requirements of EC93 European collision regulations. Employing a U-shaped high-efficiency after-treatment system, the SCR/DPF conversion rate can reach up to 99%, and the transmission efficiency is as high as 99.7%, aiming to maximize fuel efficiency. The 360-degree panoramic surround-view system, seamless and free of joint gaps, ensures driving safety with no blind spots. Intelligent safety driving systems, including ESP (electronic stability control), ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control), automatic LAK (lane-keeping system), and AEBS (Automatic Emergency Braking System), are also featured. The design philosophy of GALAXY is evident in its airbag suspension, 1010 mm extra-wide double berth, and large-capacity berth drawer design, maximizing comfort. Details such as electric sunshades, wireless charging for mobile phones, and aviation reading lights reflect GALAXY's commitment to creating the driving cabin as a 'second home' for the driver.



FOTON showcased its electrification solutions, including eVIEW and eTOANO, at the Transport Exhibition. Introducing a new generation of mini truck tailored for the 'last mile,' the eWONDER electric truck made its overseas debut as a cutting-edge product in the FOTON lineup. Balancing functionality with style, the eWONDER not only serves cargo transport needs but also caters to lifestyle commuting, personalized modifications, and commercial requirements. It transcends the confines of mini truck scenarios, providing a completely fresh value experience, lifestyle, and micro-van culture. The eWONDER redefines the conventional notion of a mini truck, offering users a truly 'SMART' experience that goes beyond being merely a mini truck.



Smart: WONDER features an intelligent cabin design with a smart multifunctional steering wheel, intelligent multimedia touchscreen, and smart electronic parking system for simplified driving, flexible braking, lane changes, and easy shifting.


Money-saving: By combining high thermal efficiency power with low vehicle resistance, WONDER achieves 5% lower fuel consumption compared to similar products, making it more economical and fuel-efficient.


Aesthetic: Designed by Italy's ICONA team, WONDER embodies a blend of simplicity, utility, and aesthetics. It sets the trend in micro-truck design by introducing various dual-tone color options that cater to the aesthetic preferences of the younger generation.


Reliable: WONDER has undergone extensive testing in high-temperature, low-temperature, and high-altitude environments. Key components have a B10 lifespan of 300,000 kilometers, and the cabin's airtightness has been improved by 48% compared to similar products.


ComforT: WONDER features sedan-grade, wraparound, and multi-color interior designs, adjustable ergonomic seats, providing comfortable driving even for drivers up to 1.8 meters tall. It employs a new air conditioning system, environmentally friendly materials, acoustic carpeting, and more to create a high-end, serene driving experience for users.


Mexico stands as a focal market for FOTON in the Americas region. FOTON is committed to achieving mutual development with local dealers and partners. A comprehensive local operating strategy has been devised, encompassing plans for automatic transmission products, new energy solutions, factories, parts centers, and more. The objective is ambitious – striving to secure a position among the top three in the entire commercial vehicle market in Mexico by 2030. In the first half of 2023, FOTON Mexico has surpassed cumulative sales of 3100 units, marking a remarkable year-on-year increase of 332%. This notable market growth undoubtedly stems from the recognized strength of FOTON's products.



During the exhibition, FOTON hosted the FOTON NIGHT event. In the presence of Jorge Machuca, the Director of Cummins Latin America Engine Business, 15 units of AUMAN heavy trucks were ceremoniously delivered to a leading transportation company in Mexico. Machuca remarked, ' The heart that drives our trucks. FOTON is written with 'F' for future because we are committed to doing the best job for the benefit of our clients.'



FOTON's 'ICE+BEV' dual-line solution for commercial vehicles not only injects fresh vitality into the Mexican commercial vehicle industry but also underscores FOTON's leading position in the field of electrification. The unveiling of these innovative products reflects FOTON's commitment to sustainable transportation, offering users efficient and environmentally friendly mobility solutions. Foton Motors is set to infuse a new wave of innovation into the Mexican commercial vehicle sector, collectively forging a vision for a sustainable and promising future.
