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.

2014~2025

2014~2017

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%.

2018~2020

To build an industrial ecology of global intelligent connected vehicles for innovative upgrading and development

2021~2025

To build and develop global intelligent traffic and smart cities.
