What Happened

A delivery ceremony for over 100 FOTON 12-meter city buses bound for South Asia was held in Beijing on June 18, attended by BAIC FOTON executives, a transport authority delegation from the South Asian country, and local dealers. This delivery represents a key phased achievement in BAIC FOTON's scaled market expansion across South Asia, where the public transport system faces challenges of insufficient capacity and aging fleets.

“This order stands as a landmark project reflecting BAIC FOTON's long-term development in the South Asian market, as well as a meaningful symbol of friendly bilateral cooperation in the public transport sector.”
— Han Dong, President of FOTON AUV New Energy Buses
“This order represents the largest bus export deal from China to the local market and serves as an important milestone for the upgrading of the local public transport system.”
— Liu Guanghua, Vice President of Business at BAIC FOTON Overseas Division
Vehicle Adaptations for South Asia

  • Triple anti-corrosion treatment for weather resistance
  • Diesel engine with AT automatic transmission and hydraulic retarder
  • e-AIR intelligent electronic thermal management system for efficiency
  • ADAS intelligent driving assistance system for safety

Why this matters
