On August 28, the 7th China-Arab States Expo, themed “Innovation, Green Development, and Prosperity,” officially kicked off in Yinchuan, Ningxia. As a leading player in China’s commercial vehicle industry, BAIC FOTON made a strong appearance with five flagship products, including the eVIEW, FOTON Galaxus, and eAUMARK. The company showcased its latest innovations in green, low-carbon, and smart technologies, injecting fresh momentum into China-Arab economic and trade cooperation.
Since its inception in 2013, the China-Arab States Expo has upheld the principles of “fostering friendship, deepening cooperation, mutual benefit, and promoting development.” Now in its seventh edition, the Expo has become a key platform for strengthening ties between China, Arab nations, and other Belt and Road partner countries and regions. At this year’s event, BAIC FOTON showcased a range of products designed to meet diverse logistics needs—from urban delivery to medium- and long-distance transport. With core strengths in ultra-long range, energy efficiency, and smart safety, the company highlighted China’s technological breakthroughs in the green transformation of the commercial vehicle sector.
FOTON Galaxus Natural Gas Tractor Truck: A New Benchmark in Long-Haul Transportation
Addressing the needs of medium- and long-haul logistics, BAIC FOTON unveiled two flagship natural gas-powered models from its Galaxus series—the FOTON Galaxus 7 and FOTON Galaxus 9—at the expo. With four key strengths—Super Power, Super Luxury, Super Comfort, and Super Intelligence—these models are redefining the standard for high-end heavy-duty trucks. On the performance front, both trucks are equipped with a 630-horsepower engine delivering up to 2,600 N·m of torque—the highest in the industry. Operating efficiently within a 1,100–1,400 rpm range and paired with ZF’s second-generation AMT, the models achieve fuel savings of 3–5%. Multiple CNG tank options—1,500L, 1,350L, and 1,000L—offer flexibility to meet varying range requirements.
In terms of comfortable experience, the trucks boast 3D-pattern mattresses, dual 12.3-inch LCD displays, a column-mounted AMT shifter, PM2.5-filtered air conditioning, and a spacious 1,240 mm-wide sleeper berth, effectively transforming the cabin into a “luxury hotel on wheels.” For smart safety, the trucks come equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as FCW, LDWS, and 360° surround-view monitoring, ushering in a new era of intelligent heavy-duty trucking in China.
eAUMARK Pure Electric Light Truck: A High-Efficiency Solution for Cold Chain Logistics
As a high-end pure light-duty truck built on All-New platform, the eAUMARK is powered by a super energy electric drive chain composed of CATL and FOTON. It features ECO driving mode, regenerative braking, and an aerodynamically optimized design, resulting in a 10% increase in driving range. Equipped with a 100.46 kWh high-energy-density battery pack and a chassis curb weight under 2.5 tons, the eAUMARK delivers significantly improved payload capacity. To meet the demands of high-performance applications such as express delivery and cold chain logistics, the vehicle also comes with an industry-leading warranty—8 years or 500,000 km for the battery, and 5 years or 300,000 km for the electric drive axle—offering strong reliability and long-term value for fleet operators.
eVIEW All-Electric Delivery Van: A New Benchmark for Efficient Urban Logistics
Designed for efficient urban logistics, the eVIEW all-electric delivery van stands out with its low energy consumption and high operational efficiency, offering the longest driving range in its class. With a spacious 7m³ cargo compartment and an interior length of 2,800 mm, the eVIEW also features a super-low 500 mm rear loading height, 470 mm side sliding door height, and a 1,250 mm extra-wide wheel arch gap, all of which significantly improve loading and unloading efficiency. On the tech front, the vehicle supports remote diagnosis and upgrades, V2L, and keyless start. It also supports advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and incorporates redundant safety design and international safety certifications, ensuring full-time protection for operational safety and reliability.
BAIC FOTON has rapidly expanded its presence in the Arab market, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, achieving significant growth in sales. In response to the region’s unique climate—characterized by extreme heat and frequent sandstorms—BAIC FOTON has developed a range of specially adapted vehicles and established a comprehensive sales and service network. The company has successfully delivered multiple major orders and formed strategic partnerships with several key local enterprises. It is also actively contributing to the development of green mobility initiatives under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, further strengthening its market influence in the region.
BAIC FOTON has consistently pursued a dual-track strategy of “ICE + BEV,” having launched its new energy technology R&D as early as 2003. The company has independently developed and mastered core “three-electric” technologies, enabling it to offer a full range of solutions including pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains. Today, its new energy lineup fully covers all categories of commercial vehicles.
Building on the global trend toward decarbonization, BAIC FOTON leverages its technological expertise from the Chinese market to empower its global presence. Its lineup of all-electric light trucks, vans, and buses has obtained the European Union’s WVTA certification, enabling access to 45 countries and regions across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Notably, BAIC FOTON has delivered over 1,400 pure electric buses in Latin America. In countries such as Chile, Malta, and Mexico, its electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are already operating commercially in urban transit, airports, and express logistics, establishing BAIC FOTON as a leading “Chinese solution” for the world’s low-carbon transportation transformation.
At this year’s China-Arab States Expo, BAIC FOTON not only showcased China’s outstanding achievements in green technology and smart manufacturing within the commercial vehicle sector but also strengthened its partnerships through deep engagement with customers from Arab countries and Belt and Road markets. Looking ahead, BAIC FOTON will continue to contribute more “Chinese ingenuity” to the global low-carbon transportation transition with its innovative, green, and efficient products and services—working hand in hand to create a sustainable development blueprint for the future.
