Investment strategy
FOTON aims to establish a strong presence in core NEV components, create a comprehensive marketing ecosystem, and enhance its manufacturing capabilities.
Technology strategy
leverage five core technology pillars: vehicle integration, electric propulsion, electronic control, power batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells, explore opportunities in lightweight design, intelligent systems, and big data analytics.
Ecological development
plan to systematically address energy consumption, energy production, and energy trading. This systematic approach will help build a user-centric and future-oriented 'co-creation, co-construction, and co-sharing' ecosystem for new energy businesses. This ecosystem will include asset management, vehicle operations, operating lease, and recycling & utilization. These entities will collectively form FOTON's 'product-centric + service-centric' business ecosystem, empowering users while also contributing value to the relevant value chains.

ELECTROMOBILITY
FOTON started the exploration and research and development of new energy technology as early as 2003, adhering to 3 routes of hybrid, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel.
HYBRID
To alleviate customers' concerns about both 'range' and 'charging' for vehicles, FOTON's Intelligent Dual-Engine System is compatible with both ICE models and electric vehicles, offering efficiency and energy savings.
ELECTRIC
To alleviate customers' concerns about both 'range' and 'charging' for vehicles, FOTON's Intelligent Dual-Engine System is compatible with both ICE models and electric vehicles, offering efficiency and energy savings.
HYDROGEN
To alleviate customers' concerns about both 'range' and 'charging' for vehicles, FOTON's Intelligent Dual-Engine System is compatible with both ICE models and electric vehicles, offering efficiency and energy savings.
Verified by the World's Top Events
To promote the Initiative of decarbonisation and environmentally friendly transportation around the world, FOTON has successfully served the 2008 and 2022 world-class Olympic Games, providing shuttle services for athletes from all over the world. In 2022, during the 24th Winter Olympic Games, FOTON provided 515 units of hydrogen-fuel buses for shuttle service to athletes and staffs around the world with zero-carbon operation, setting a record for the largest scale and the largest number of hydrogen-fueled buses ever to serve international-level sports events.
Accelerating Global Electrification
As a world-leading modern city public transport system, Beijing’s public transportation system has a clean energy and new energy bus ratio of more than 95%, making it the world’s largest “clean bus fleet”. FOTON’s new energy buses account for more than 80%. Mature commercial operation experience enables FOTON’s new energy customization to go global. New energy buses have achieved commercial operation in core scenarios such as public transportation systems, airports, express logistics, etc. in markets such as Chile, India, South Korea, New Zealand, Egypt, Malta, Australia, Mexico, etc.
Certificated by EU WATA
As an access card to the European market, WVTA certification focuses on environmental, safety and security standards. It is internationally recognized as one of the most valuable certification systems in the world and accepted throughout the EU without the need for further testing. Its new energy products including pure electric light trucks, VANS, and buses, have passed the WVTA EU certification, and are currently expanding into European countries such as Italy, Poland, and Spain.
THE FORWARD OF ICE VEHICLES: ULTIMATE EFFICIENCY.
We believe that fuel vehicles and electrification will develop side by side over a long period of time. It is not a contradiction with sustainability, but is inherent in the harmonious development of people, vehicles and the environment. That’s why we are developing the 2 routes of “ICEv+BEv”, to make an Ultimate Fuel Efficiency by technology breakthroughs as the jointly result of FOTON CUMMINS, FOTON ZF and etc.
