  Currently, the commercial vehicle industry is in a critical transformation period characterized by the deepening of global layout, the acceleration of new energy substitution, and the penetration of the intelligent revolution. The three major trends of energy structure adjustment, technological route iteration, and market competition reconfiguration are intertwined, driving the industry to move from "scale competition" to a new stage of "value competition". Against this backdrop, Foton Motor Corporation, with its forward-looking strategic layout and strong innovative capabilities, delivered a remarkable report card in 2025, demonstrating its industry leadership: In the first three quarters, it achieved operating revenue of 45.449 billion yuan, an increase of 27.09% year-on-year; cumulative net profit attributable to shareholders was 1.113 billion yuan, a significant increase of 157.45% year-on-year. This achievement not only serves as evidence of Foton's own high-quality development but also reflects its precise grasp of the development laws and trend leadership in the commercial vehicle industry.


 


   

In the profound transformation process of the commercial vehicle industry from incremental expansion to optimization of existing capacity, Foton Motor Corporation, with the core mission of "building a world-class commercial vehicle enterprise", has accelerated the strategic transformation towards "comprehensive internationalization, comprehensive new energyization, and comprehensive intelligence". Through a series of measures such as accelerating the pace of new energy transformation, deeply advancing the international strategic layout, and striving to achieve breakthroughs in the intelligent field, it not only completed the role transformation from focusing on its own development to leading the industry transformation, but also established a benchmark for the high-quality development of the commercial vehicle industry through its solid practical exploration. 

Deepen the transformation of new energy: Build a solid technological foundation for green development 

Facing the accelerating trend of the new energy industry, Foton Motor adheres to technological innovation as the core driving force, breaks away from the reliance on a single technological path, and has established a diversified technical route of "three lines in parallel" for pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel. It fully covers the low-carbon transformation needs of different commercial scenarios. It has continuously made breakthroughs in the independent research and development of key components, and has built a controllable system covering the entire chain from batteries, motors to electronic control. Its Aikeke power battery, with a strength that exceeds the latest national standard "Safety Requirements for Power Batteries for Electric Vehicles" (GB38031-2025) by 3-7 times, becomes the first commercial power battery brand in China to pass the NESTA verification of power battery safety by China Automotive Research Institute, setting a new safety benchmark for the industry. 

Based on solid technical accumulation, Foton Motor has established a platform-based R&D system, systematically constructing four dedicated vehicle product platforms for new energy vehicles covering heavy-duty, light-duty, mini, and VAN categories. This enables technical sharing and modular development across different vehicle platforms, effectively shortening the new product development cycle. The establishment of the platform-based system has accelerated the transformation of technical achievements into the market. Multiple new energy vehicle models such as Eman Galaxy, Starry Sky, and Fengjing i have been quickly launched, covering all product lines including heavy trucks, light trucks, and VANs. With solid technical accumulation and efficient conversion capabilities, the company's new energy vehicle sales reached 82,300 units from January to October 2025, a year-on-year increase of 98.83%, becoming a core force driving the green transformation.



  

Intelligent application implementation: From technological research and development to value creation 

With the goal of "building a world-class commercial vehicle enterprise", Foton Motors has identified intelligence as the breakthrough point for its core competitiveness, achieving a crucial leap from "intelligent technology research and development" to "intelligent value implementation", and forming a dual-wheel drive pattern of "product intelligence" and "business domain intelligence". At the level of product intelligence implementation, leveraging the scene definition experience accumulated over many years in the commercial vehicle field, Foton Motors precisely targets five core scenarios: high-speed trunk lines, ports and mines, end-point unmanned delivery, unmanned sanitation, and unmanned buses. For the operational pain points of different scenarios, Foton deeply integrates core technologies such as vehicle intelligent perception, scene intelligent decision-making, vehicle networking and big data, and intelligent AI to create customized intelligent solutions, fundamentally helping customers achieve the core demands of improving transportation efficiency, reducing operating costs, and ensuring driving safety, and leading the commercial vehicle industry from "intelligent technology research and development" to a new stage of "intelligent value implementation". 

At the enterprise operation level, Foton Motor uses AI+ to empower all business areas such as R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and customer service. It is committed to building a world-class intelligent management system, helping to increase R&D efficiency by 30%. The process automation in the manufacturing环节 and the intelligence rate of warehousing and logistics exceed 90%. This comprehensively enhances operational efficiency and business capabilities, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and providing a solid guarantee for the efficient development of the enterprise. 

Expand international layout: From product export to ecological win-win cooperation 

In 2025, China's commercial vehicle export volume is expected to reach 1 million units. The demand from emerging markets for localized production, customized products, and integrated services is becoming increasingly prominent. The traditional export model centered on products is no longer able to meet market demands. Against this backdrop, Foton Motors has broken away from the industry's traditional "product export" model and has established 32 local plants worldwide. It has also built an industrialization system of "local R&D - local production - regional radiation" in key regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. From the production of the 2,000th heavy truck at the factory in Thailand to the local production of the first automatic transmission AMT heavy truck in South Africa, and then to the official commissioning and operation of the Chinese commercial vehicle production line at the factory in Brazil, Foton Motors is achieving a strategic transformation from "product export" to "industry empowerment". 

The internationalization of Foton is essentially the fulfillment of the responsibility of "building an ecosystem and promoting common development". Through a well-established Aikezhi Intelligent Ecology System, it provides more business touchpoints and profit models, and builds a one-stop service system to safeguard the overall internationalization process. In the Thai market, Foton not only offers customers new energy heavy-duty truck products, but also provides integrated ecological solutions such as photovoltaic energy storage, intelligent management, and financial services. This full-chain ecological overseas expansion model enables Foton to upgrade from a "global supplier" to a "local partner", truly achieving symbiotic and mutually beneficial coexistence with the local market.
