The headlights of the 20,250-mile journey illuminate the next mountain and sea for Foton Motor.

    In February 2025, a convoy code-named "Ten Thousand Stars" set off from Beijing, covering 6,000 kilometers of mountains and deserts over 41 days, and finally arrived in Uzbekistan. The entire range of Foton models, including the Galaxy, Mars, and TuYaNo, completed an extreme test of reliability, adaptability, and technical strength along this ancient Silk Road. This arduous technical expedition seemed to write a powerful prelude for Foton in 2025 - it was not only a validation of product performance but also a foreshadowing of the company's comprehensive breakthroughs in the market, technology, and strategy throughout the year. At the end of the year, the tire tracks that crossed mountains and deserts to reach distant places had transformed into a series of impressive performance reports: annual sales exceeded 650,000 units, continuing to lead the industry; new energy vehicle sales soared by 87.2% to 101,000 units; heavy truck sales doubled, and overseas markets grew steadily... The spirit of exploration and tenacity symbolized by the "Ten Thousand Stars" journey resonated profoundly and powerfully with the high-quality development report card that Foton presented in 2025. 

  The Starry Path: A Closed Loop from Extreme Verification to Market Trust 

  The "Ten Thousand Stars" Silk Road Journey is by no means an isolated brand event, but rather a microcosm of Foton's commitment to testing its products in the harshest and most realistic scenarios. The real-world performance data of 17 core features collected by the fleet in extreme conditions have not only served as a valuable foundation for product iteration but also as a strong source of confidence in the terminal market. This rigorous logic of transitioning from "laboratory" to "application field" has directly catalyzed positive market feedback. In 2025, Foton's heavy truck division shone particularly brightly, with over 10,000 heavy trucks sold in December and a total of 142,000 for the year, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 103.6%; the medium-sized bus sales also grew by 45.51% throughout the year. Among them, the Ouman Galaxy series, which has undergone rigorous tests on the Silk Road, has gained a large number of orders across the country through on-the-ground activities such as "Hundred Cities, Thousand Stores", becoming the core engine driving the growth of heavy trucks. This demonstrates that a solid closed loop has been formed between in-depth technical verification on the front lines and market demand.

  Triple Transitions: Sales Structure Reveals the Trajectory of High-Quality Development 

   In 2025, the performance growth of Foton Motor Corporation featured distinct structural optimization characteristics, clearly outlining the strategic path for the company to shift from scale expansion to quality and efficiency enhancement. 

Heavy trucks lead the way in high-end breakthroughs: The 142,000 heavy truck sales throughout the year not only signify the expansion of scale, but also represent the brand's upward movement and value breakthrough. Products like Eman Galaxy have gained recognition in efficient transportation fields such as long-distance trunk logistics, marking a key progress for Foton in the competition for the high ground of the industry value chain. 

  New energy achieves large-scale explosion: The total sales of new energy commercial vehicles throughout the year exceeded 101,000 units, with a year-on-year growth of 87.2%. In December alone, the sales reached 9,175 units, a year-on-year increase of 70.8%. This is not just a speed figure; it also indicates that Foton's new energy products have completely moved from demonstration operations to a new stage of large-scale commercial use. The Eman Starwing hydrogen fuel truck and large-capacity pure electric traction vehicles have achieved batch deliveries of hundreds of units in multiple regions, proving that their full value chain economic efficiency in real commercial scenarios has been verified by the market. 

  Deepening local operations in overseas markets: The total overseas sales for the year reached 165,000 vehicles, showing a steady growth. Behind the performance is a transformation in the model: shifting from product exports to a deep transformation towards local production and operation. The commissioning and certification of factories in Thailand, South Africa, Brazil, etc., as well as the signing of local cooperation memorandums with countries like Saudi Arabia, etc., indicate that Foton's global strategy is evolving from "exporting through trade" to "establishing roots through industry", simultaneously enhancing its risk-resistance capabilities and market penetration.

Technical Depth: Full-stack Self-Development Builds Long-Term Competitiveness 

Facing the wave of industry electrification and intelligence, Foton has chosen to build a moat by continuously investing in research and development. In the first three quarters of 2025, the proportion of research and development expenses to operating revenue reached 3.03%, with a focus on core areas such as new energy three-chip power supply, intelligent driving, etc. The Aikei Super Electric Drive System has achieved autonomous control, the Xingming Pure Electric Exclusive Platform has completed multiple pioneering validations, and the self-developed HWP High-Speed Leading System has been continuously updated. These full-stack self-developed technological achievements are not only the underlying support for the stable performance of vehicles during the "Ten Thousand Stars" journey, but also the strategic reserves for Foton to participate in higher-dimensional global competition in the future. The in-depth development of technology ensures that its sales growth has sustainable internal momentum. 

  Green and Global: Corporate Responsibility in Response to National Strategies 

  Fukuda's development blueprint for 2025 is in perfect alignment with the country's "15th Five-Year Plan" for high-quality development, the carbon neutrality goal, and the "Dual Circulation" strategy. 

In terms of green transformation, the release of the first ESG report and the attainment of carbon footprint certification for a wide range of products indicate that it has internalized green development as a systematic corporate strategy. The 101,000 units of new energy vehicles sold throughout the year precisely respond to the national energy strategy. 

  In terms of global expansion, the upgrade from "going global" to "entering the global market" has not only achieved 165,000 units of overseas sales, but has also demonstrated a model of global output of China's commercial vehicle industry's value chain and supply chain capabilities. Under the complex international situation, Foton has provided a stable path for China's manufacturing industry to integrate into the global market through local production and compliant operations.

  Conclusion: Guided by the stars, we set off on the next journey across mountains and seas. 

  When the engine sounds of the "Ten Thousand Stars" team reverberated along the ancient Silk Road, what it set out on was an expedition that transcended geographical distances and pointed towards the future of the industry. Foton Motors' 2025 year began with a tough technical verification and ended with a comprehensive breakthrough annual report. With a total sales volume of 650,000 units, rapid growth in new energy, the strong rise of heavy trucks, and in-depth overseas operations, these together depicted the steady and enterprising figure of a leading enterprise in the tide of industry transformation. 

  This is not only a victory of the market, but also a victory of strategic determination. Guided by the strategy of "comprehensive internationalization, comprehensive new energyization, and comprehensive intelligence", Foton Motor is transforming each test of extreme environments, each breakthrough in core technologies, and each expansion into overseas markets into solid steps towards becoming a world-class commercial vehicle enterprise. Looking ahead, the global commercial vehicle industry competition has entered the second half centered on green and intelligent technologies. And Foton Motor is gathering the scattered technological light and market fire into a brilliant galaxy leading on the new track, heading towards a more magnificent journey ahead.
