Under the global trend of decarbonisation, FOTON has independently researched and developed and mastered the core technology of 'three electrics', and realised the development of multiple routes of new energy technologies such as pure electrics, hybrids, hydrogen fuel cells, etc., which cover the whole series of commercial vehicles and accelerate the green transformation of the global logistics and transportation industry. At present, Foton's overseas new energy products have covered 45 countries and regions around the world, including Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and South America.

The release of the three pure electric vehicles at this auto show is an important step for Foton in Indonesia's commercial vehicle sector and on the road to sustainable development. In January this year, FOTON has reached a strategic cooperation with INDOMOBIL, one of the largest local automotive groups, and the two parties will actively explore the Indonesian market, assemble Foton EVs locally, and plan to build a FOTON Indonesia EV manufacturing base to provide Indonesian customers with high-quality commercial vehicles and excellent services.

Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia, and the commercial vehicle market has huge growth potential. Foton will embrace the Indonesian market with a win-win attitude, enhance the international competitiveness of new energy products, actively participate in the construction of the local economy and people's livelihood, and continue to enhance the green and efficient travelling experience of local residents.
