Gasgoo Munich- On June 30, Gasgoo will bring top-tier suppliers to Foton Motor, focusing on smart chassis, hydrogen power systems, smart cockpits, and lightweight safety technologies. There, suppliers will sit down with Foton's R&D and purchasing teams for deep technical exchanges. The initiative reflects Foton's long-standing dedication to R&D, product innovation, and ecosystem synergy.
Established in 1996 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange two years later, Foton stands as China's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer by scale, boasting the industry's most comprehensive product portfolio. Over three decades of steady growth, the company has mastered the full spectrum of commercial vehicle categories. It has built four robust business pillars—vehicles and mobile equipment, components, digital technology, and business ecosystems—serving customers in more than 130 countries and regions with a notably global footprint.
Throughout its history, Foton has repeatedly shattered industry ceilings to achieve leapfrog growth. From 1996 to 1999, it executed a "three-step leap in four years," rapidly cementing its foundation. Between 2000 and 2009, the company advanced a "new three-step" strategy, transforming from a regional player into a national—and eventually global—commercial powerhouse. By 2010 to 2021, Foton had fully entered its globalization phase, maturing into a "dual-independent" commercial vehicle maker with cumulative production exceeding 10 million units. Then, in 2022, the company launched a "second startup" effort, refreshing its brand and entering a new stage of high-quality development.

Anchored by a clear strategy, Foton continues to break through amid industry upheaval. For 2025, the company is aiming to become a "world-class commercial vehicle enterprise," pushing a comprehensive transformation toward internationalization, electrification, and intelligence. The numbers reflect this ambition: full-year vehicle sales climbed to 650,000 units, up 5.9%, while revenue surged 28.41% to top 61.247 billion yuan. Performance in niche sectors was particularly striking; new energy commercial vehicle sales soared 87.21% to 101,200 units, establishing themselves as a core growth engine. Meanwhile, overseas sales reached 164,500 units, keeping Foton at the forefront of China's commercial vehicle export market.
Building on its 2025 growth, Foton is accelerating its strategic rollout for 2026 to navigate intensifying competition and deepening shifts in energy and technology. The company is sharpening four core capabilities: R&D, product innovation, ecosystem building, and global operations. In smart technologies, it is diving deep into wire-controlled chassis, autonomous driving, and smart cockpits to create all-scenario intelligent commercial solutions. On the energy front, Foton is pursuing a triad of pure electric, hydrogen, and hybrid technologies to build a flexible green system. The goal is ambitious: a "double 200,000" breakthrough—200,000 new energy sales and 200,000 exports. Regarding the industrial ecosystem, the company upholds a philosophy of "chain innovation, industrial symbiosis, and value sharing," empowering supply chain upgrades through full-industry collaboration to fortify its global competitive barriers.
To precisely align with Foton's technical iteration and upgrade needs, Gasgoo will establish a specialized platform for technical display and exchange on June 30. This initiative will connect premium component suppliers with Foton's R&D and procurement departments for precise technical matchmaking. The aim is to help both parties explore innovative paths in commercial vehicle electrification, intelligence, and internationalization, forging a new pattern of collaborative industrial development.
