Gasgoo Munich- On August 25, Gasgoo is set to lead a delegation of premium suppliers—spanning new energy, AI large models, smart chassis, intelligent cockpits, advanced driver-assistance systems, powertrains, and lightweight materials—into Beiqi Foton Motor. There, suppliers will engage in deep technical exchanges with Foton's R&D and procurement teams through cutting-edge technology displays and specialized forum discussions. Together, they will explore innovative paths for the electrification, intelligence, and globalization of commercial vehicles. Behind this event lies Foton's long-standing commitment to deep R&D, product innovation, and ecosystem synergy.
Established in 1996 and successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1998, Foton Motor stands as China's commercial vehicle leader with the most comprehensive product lineup and the largest industrial scale. Over three decades of steady development, Foton has fully covered every segment of the commercial vehicle market. It has built four robust business systems: vehicles and mobile equipment, components, digital technology, and commercial ecosystems. Its products and services now reach over 130 countries and regions, marking significant achievements in its global layout.
Looking back at its corporate history, Foton has continuously broken industry boundaries to achieve major leaps. From 1996 to 1999, it completed the "Three Major Steps in Four Years," quickly solidifying its foundation. Between 2000 and 2009, the steady "New Three Steps" strategy transformed it from a regional player into a national, and eventually global, commercial powerhouse. Entering the globalization phase from 2010 to 2021, it grew into a "dual-independent" commercial vehicle manufacturer with a production base of 10 million units. In 2022, the company embarked on a "second entrepreneurship" and completed a brand refresh, officially stepping into a new phase of high-quality development.

Guided by a clear strategy, Foton continues to break through the waves of industry change. Anchoring its core 2025 goal on "striving to become a world-class commercial vehicle enterprise," it is pushing a full transition toward internationalization, new energy, and intelligence to achieve leapfrog growth. Full-year vehicle sales reached 650,000 units, up 5.9% year-on-year, while revenue surged 28.41% to breach the 61.247 billion yuan mark. Notably, new energy commercial vehicle sales jumped 87.21% to 101,200 units, becoming a core engine for growth. Overseas sales hit 164,500 units, allowing Foton to continue leading the domestic commercial vehicle export market.
Following its 2025 growth, Foton faces intensified competition and deepening energy and technology shifts in 2026. The company is sharpening its focus on four core capabilities: technological R&D, product innovation, ecosystem building, and global operations. In the smart sector, it is diving deep into steer-by-wire chassis, autonomous driving, and intelligent cockpits to create full-scenario smart commercial solutions. In new energy, it maintains a three-pronged approach—pure electric, hydrogen, and hybrid—to build a "electric-or-hydrogen" green technology system. The targets are ambitious: achieving a "dual 200,000" breakthrough with 200,000 new energy sales and 200,000 exports. Regarding the industrial ecosystem, Foton upholds the philosophy of "chain innovation, industrial symbiosis, and value sharing," empowering supply chain upgrades through full-industry collaboration to strengthen its global competitive barriers.
Gasgoo brings extensive experience in facilitating offline OEM matchmaking. In 2026, it successfully hosted numerous technical exchange sessions for major players like Hongqi, BAIC, FAW-Volkswagen, JAC Group, and Dongfeng, building a stable and efficient service system for precise OEM-supplier connections. To precisely match Foton's needs for tech iteration and industrial upgrading, Gasgoo will set up a specialized, refined platform for tech display and exchange on August 25. This aims to foster precise alignment between quality components firms and Foton's R&D and procurement departments.
The event will feature two core segments: a specialized forum and a supplier technology exhibition. The forum will host deep discussions on AI large models, smart chassis, intelligent cockpits, advanced driver-assistance systems, and new energy core components (battery, motor, and control). Meanwhile, the tech exhibition offers exhibitors dual opportunities for booth displays and presentations, facilitating efficient communication between supply and demand.
Registration is now officially open. Gasgoo invites quality enterprises across the upstream and downstream supply chain to participate actively. Interested companies can scan the QR code below to complete registration.
