BAIC Foton Launches the "Super Power Ecology Alliance", with FOTON ENGINE Joining to Build New Heights for Overseas Development Together

Recently, the BAIC Foton 2025 Latin American Partners Conference with the theme of "Together Win Future" grandly kicked off in São Paulo, Brazil. This not only marks that BAIC Foton's globalization strategy has entered a new stage in the Latin American market, but also, taking the commissioning of the Brazilian factory as a pivot, deeply participates in Brazil's "reindustrialization" process through localized production. Relying on the Brazilian factory to radiate the Latin American market, it injects new impetus into the transformation and upgrading of the global commercial vehicle industry.

At this conference, the 12 millionth vehicle of Foton Motor globally rolled off the production line at the Brazilian factory, heralding a new journey for Foton Motor's global industrialization. Meanwhile, based on a profound insight into the current development trend of the commercial vehicle industry, BAIC Foton launched China's full-domain intelligent ecological brand for commercial vehicles, "IECO", aiming to deeply conform to the transformation trend of the commercial vehicle industry and the actual needs of users. During the event, BAIC Foton signed MoUs and a number of strategic cooperation agreements with international partners such as Iveco, AGRALE, Marco Polo, DP World, etc., indicating a comprehensive acceleration of BAIC Foton's strategic transformation of "going global through an ecological approach".

In order to further reconstruct the ecology and activate the global industrial potential, at the end of the conference, Foton Motor launched the "Super Power Ecology Alliance" plan, which is groundbreaking in the industry. The launch of this alliance marks that Foton Motor has achieved a strategic upgrade in technological research and development from making breakthroughs at individual points to ecological collaboration. FOTON ENGINE has joined the Super Power Ecology Alliance. Together with industry partners, it will provide more efficient and reliable transportation solutions and jointly build new heights for overseas development.

Joining the Super Power Ecology Alliance, Empowering with Technology to Lead the Innovation Trend

As the self-owned power brand of BAIC Foton Motor, FOTON ENGINE has unique regional resource advantages. By joining the BAIC Foton Super Power Ecology Alliance this time, FOTON ENGINE will, together with international power giants such as Cummins and ZF, rely on their respective regional and localized resource advantages to assist in building a power energy transportation system in the Latin American market. It will provide three-dimensional solutions ranging from core power to intelligent services for customers in Brazil and Latin America.

At the event site, the product exhibition area of FOTON ENGINE was crowded with people, attracting many dealers from Latin America and other visitors. The excellent sales performance of the FOTON F2.5 and FOTON F2.0 engines in the Latin American market left a deep impression on the visiting guests.

The vehicle models equipped with FOTON ENGINE products cover the entire vehicle series overseas, including VANs, light trucks, pickup trucks, etc. Thanks to its leading technology, scenario-based customization, and global ecological cooperation, it is deeply welcomed in overseas markets. In the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets, VAN models are favored due to their high cost-effectiveness and optimal TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) costs. In the South American market, the FOTON ENGINE installed in the TUNLAND series, with a torque of 450 N·m and a thermal efficiency of 50%, has quickly become the focus of the market. Aiming at the differentiated emissions developed according to the Euro VI standard in Europe, FOTON ENGINE continues to seize the new energy track through P2 hybrid and 48V mild hybrid technologies, consolidating its competitiveness in the entire market. In the first quarter of 2025, the overseas sales volume of FOTON ENGINE increased by 94% year-on-year. FOTON ENGINE always leads the market trend through technological empowerment and shines brightly in overseas markets.

Focusing on Overseas Markets and Expanding the Global Strategic Map

With a global perspective and benchmarking international standards, creating a globally leading self-owned power brand has always been the goal pursued by FOTON ENGINE. Therefore, since its birth, FOTON ENGINE has focused on six major overseas markets. From technological research and development to product innovation, and then to service upgrades, it implements localized and customized strategies to fully meet the diverse scenario needs of overseas users.

In order to better adapt to overseas markets, FOTON ENGINE conducts in-depth research on the local usage environment, regulatory policies, and characteristics of customer needs. In South American markets such as Brazil, in response to the local complex road conditions and climatic conditions, the engine is optimized and upgraded to ensure that the products comply with local environmental protection regulations. At the same time, the torque output and power response of the engine are finely tuned to improve the adaptability of the products.

In the future, in terms of the construction of sales and service networks, FOTON ENGINE will establish a close cooperative relationship with local dealers and use their channel resources to achieve the rapid promotion and sales of products. At the same time, professional after-sales service centers will be established, equipped with strictly trained technicians and sufficient original factory parts to ensure the provision of timely and efficient after-sales support services for customers.

The successful appearance at this Latin American conference is an important milestone in the process of advancing FOTON ENGINE's overseas strategy. In the future, FOTON ENGINE will continue to focus on overseas markets, continuously increase its investment in technological research and development, market expansion, and service optimization, expand its global strategic map, inject a continuous stream of impetus into the development of the global commercial vehicle industry, and steadily move towards the goal of becoming a globally leading provider of commercial vehicle power solutions.
