During the handover relay, Wu Zongtian, President of BAIC FOTON International, delivered the 39,999,997th complete vehicle — a battery-electric bus bound for Pakistan. This new-energy commercial vehicle bridges Chinese manufacturing and overseas public transport. BAIC FOTON, a key player in BAIC Group's commercial vehicle segment, serves logistics, urban construction, and public transit scenarios, with products and services available in 140 countries and regions. Its commercial vehicles help underpin local industrial development and social operations, reflecting the philosophy of “always putting users at the heart of everything we do.”

For the Pakistan project, BAIC FOTON will supply battery-electric buses together with supporting charging facilities and support local partners in building a KD plant. Through technical support and industrial collaboration, the company aims to enhance local bus manufacturing and operational support capabilities. It states, “we should value the power of partnership along our journey.”
The Pakistan delivery is a microcosm of BAIC FOTON's global development, reflecting both the scale of the order and its capability to address overseas market demands with new-energy products. The company's approach is moving from complete-vehicle exports and after-sales support to also providing infrastructure and local manufacturing partnerships. The company says the delivery echoes its core tenets: “Quality products speak for the millions of users” and “Technology shall deliver tangible value.” Building on the 40 million user milestone, BAIC FOTON will further advance its new-energy and global expansion strategies to support BAIC Group's next 10-million-user target and its vision of four “TenMillion” goals.
