Foton Motor and the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer have established a joint venture with Beijing Foton Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd(BFDA). The joint venture company operates under the FOTON Auman brand, producing the Auman heavy truck products and the OM457 heavy truck engines with Daimler licensing emissions standards and powers that reach Euro V and 490 horsepower, respectively.
In February, 2012, the joint venture of Foton Daimler Automotive Co.,Ltd. was founded in Beijing China.
Foton Motor has established FOTON ZF Joint Venture with ZF, which is a global leader in driveline and chassis technology as well as active and passive safety technology.
On April 18th 2019, the Joint Venture ZF FOTON HCV Automated Transmissions (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd. held the Launch & Offline Ceremony in Zhejiang Province, China. The JV in which FOTON holds a 49-percent share, focuses on heavy commercial vehicles and makes ZF's automatic commercial vehicle transmission system TraXon for China.
As the environmental problems have become increasingly prominent around the world, FOTON jointed hands with global well-known enterprises including Cummins, ZF, CEVA Logistics, FAURECIA, WABCO, Continental and Rheinland and founded a China Intelligent Connected Super Truck Alliance (CICSA) in June 2016, aiming at making technology breakthrough and building energy-saving, green and intelligently connected automobile products. The three targets of the alliance are:
As the initiator of the alliance, FOTON proposed a Super Truck Plan. According to the plan, FOTON had made efforts for 4 years and built the first super truck in accordance with Euro R&D criteria --- AUMAN EST, which was launched globally in September 2016. The truck has been verified via 10 million km real road test. The brand-new 208 technologies and 4 modules (body, chassis, powertrain and electrical system) reduce fuel consumption by 5-10%, reduce carbon emission by 10-15% and improve transport efficiency by 30%; the intelligent driving assistance, 1,500,000km service life of B10 and extended service interval at 100,000km boost intelligent, intensive and high-end development of modern logistics system. The super truck is more than a truck. It is a transport system for future aiming at autonomous driving, improving transport efficiency and traffic safety and further reducing carbon emission.
To build efficient, intelligent and connected super trucks to reduce fuel consumption by 30% (or pure electric), reduce carbon emission by 30% (or zero) and improve transport efficiency by 70%.
To build an industrial ecology of global intelligent connected vehicles for innovative upgrading and development
To build and develop global intelligent traffic and smart cities.
