FOTON Expands in Latin America, Powers Global Green Transformation

福田汽车拉美产业化再落一子，绿色智慧生态战略驱动全球商用车产业革新

On April 8, 2025, under the global vision of "Together Win Future,"  hosted FOTON LATAM PARTNERS CONFERENCE 2025 in São Paulo, Brazil. Centered on the strategy of “deepening presence in Latin America, driving global growth,” the company announced two major milestones: the rollout of the first locally produced light-duty truck ALL NEW AUMARK in Brazil and the achievement of 12 million vehicles produced globally. This dual breakthrough not only marks the launch of the first Chinese commercial vehicle production line in Brazil, but also reflects FOTON’s commitment to advancing the global commercial vehicle industry through “technology export and ecosystem collaboration,” accelerating the sector’s green transformation and industrial upgrade.

2025年4月8日， 在“Together Win Future”全球化愿景下，福田汽车于巴西圣保罗举办2025拉美合作伙伴大会。以深耕拉美，驱动全球为战略内核，宣布两项里程碑事件：福田巴西首台本土化生产的轻卡正式下线，全球累计产量突破1200万辆。这一双重突破不仅标志着巴西本地的第一条中国商用车生产线正式投产运营，更预示着福田汽车正在以“技术输出+生态协同”的实践，为全球商用车产业的绿色转型与产业升级注入新动能。

Rooted in Latin America: From Local Manufacturing to Regional Hub

扎根拉美：从属地制造到区域枢纽的战略跃迁

The launch of FOTON’s localized manufacturing facility in Brazil marks a critical milestone in the company’s global expansion. Jointly built with local partner AGRALE, the state-of-the-art factory spans 197,000 square meters with an annual capacity of 5,000 units. Phase one already enables local production of medium and light-duty trucks, with plans to expand into heavy-duty trucks and pickups. As the first Chinese commercial vehicle brand to begin local production in Brazil, FOTON is aligning with the country’s “reindustrialization” strategy through integrated supply chains, the recruitment of over 1,000 local talents, and a “collaborative overseas industrial chain” model. In Q1 2025, FOTON’s sales in Brazil exceeded 500 units, up 180% year-on-year—proof of the localization strategy’s effectiveness. More than a production facility, the new factory serves as a strategic hub for the region, supporting FOTON’s expansion into key markets such as Mexico and Argentina. With a model of local R&D, regional manufacturing, and global synergy, FOTON is driving Latin America’s shift from product importation to technology export and ecosystem empowerment.

福田巴西本土化工厂的投产，是福田汽车全球化布局的关键支点。这座由福田与巴西合作伙伴AGRALE联合打造的现代化工厂，占地19.7万平方米，规划年产能5000台，一期投产即实现中卡、轻卡等车型的本地化生产，并计划拓展至重卡与皮卡领域。作为首个在巴西本地生产的中国商用车品牌，福田汽车还将通过供应链整合、千名本土人才招募及“产业链协同出海”模式，深度融入巴西“再工业化”战略。2025年第一季度，福田汽车巴西销量突破500台，同比增长180%，也从侧面印证了属地化战略成效。工厂的落成不仅是产能的升级，更成为辐射拉美市场的核心枢纽——从巴西出发，覆盖墨西哥、阿根廷等关键市场，福田正以“本地研发、区域制造、全球协同”的生态模式，推动拉美从产品输入向技术输出与生态赋能的转型。

Behind 12 Million Vehicles: Resilient Industrial Footprint and Green Ecosystem Strategy

全球1200万辆背后：韧性产业布局与绿色生态战略

The rollout of FOTON’s 12 millionth vehicle—produced at its local factory in Brazil—marks a significant milestone in the company’s global strategy and showcases its growing ecosystem synergy capabilities. FOTON has established 22 KD plants, over 1,000 dealerships, and 1,200 service outlets worldwide, covering more than 130 countries and regions. With 18 regional parts centers, the company has built an integrated “stocking–distribution–service” support network.

全球第1200万辆整车巴西工厂下线，是福田汽车全球化布局的里程碑，亦是其生态协同能力的集中体现。目前，福田已在全球建成22个KD工厂、超1000家分销及1200家服务网点，覆盖130余国，并通过18个区域配件中心实现“储备-调配-服务”一体化网络。

This resilient global framework reflects FOTON’s strategic balance between “technology going global” and “localized operations.” In the field of new energy, FOTON has independently developed core “Three Electric” technologies. Several of its NEV models have received EU WVTA certification and have entered 45 countries and regions.

这一韧性体系的背后，是福田对“技术出海”与“本土运营”的深度平衡。在新能源领域，自主研发的“三电”技术，多款新能源产品通过欧盟WVTA认证，并已登陆45个国家和地区。

In response to the global decarbonization push, FOTON launched the industry’s first all-scenario commercial vehicle smart ecosystem brand—IECO (Intelligent-Ecology)—in Brazil. Centered on intelligence, efficiency, energy-saving, and evolution, IECO integrates “vehicle–charging–storage” technologies and supports a multi-path approach including BEV, HEV, and FCEV. During the event, FOTON also unveiled a new lineup of customized new energy vehicles for the Latin American market. The lineup includes heavy-duty cold chain trucks, light-duty urban delivery vehicles, and electric buses—forming a complete solution set from ecosystem planning to on-the-ground implementation. Among the new models, the eGALAXUS heavy-duty truck adopts a tri-powertrain strategy—pure electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and hybrid. It features predictive thermal management and a high-efficiency electric drive system for ultra-low energy consumption. It is also the first commercial vehicle to apply 100 Mbps Ethernet architecture, supporting L2+ autonomous driving and smart cockpit data integration.

面对全球“脱碳”浪潮，福田汽车在巴西率先发布中国商用车行业首个全域智慧生态品牌“爱易科（IECO）”，以“智能、高效、节能、进化”为核心，整合“车-充-储”一体化技术，覆盖纯电、混动及氢燃料多路线。此次活动中，福田汽车推出拉美市场定制化新能源产品矩阵，覆盖冷链物流重卡、城市配送轻卡及电动公交等全场景用车解决方案，完成了从生态布局到技术落地应用的闭环。其中全新重卡产品eGALAXUS，涵盖纯电、氢燃料、混动三条动力技术路线，其具备预见性热管理和高效电驱技术，实现低能耗表现。同时采用智慧电子架构，首次在商用车应用百兆以太网，具备L2+的智驾能力和智能座舱大数据传输。

FOTON’s new energy commercial vehicles are already deeply rooted in global markets. In Latin America, over 1,400 electric buses have been delivered. In Europe, pure electric trucks are operating in Germany, Italy, and Poland, while electric sanitation trucks serve multiple German states and municipalities. With continuous innovation in technology and ecosystem development, FOTON is fast-tracking energy transformation and gaining momentum in the European market. By combining technological breakthroughs with ecosystem innovation, FOTON is delivering a comprehensive “China solution” for green logistics across Brazil and Latin America—accelerating the region’s transition toward zero-carbon transportation.

实际上，福田汽车新能源商用车已深耕全球。目前在拉美，福田电动公交已交付超1400辆；在欧洲，福田纯电动卡车已在德国、意大利、波兰等欧洲国家市场销售，纯电动环卫专用车已服务德国多个州及行政区。福田汽车正以技术创新为引领，加速生态及能源转型升级，全面驶入欧洲市场。通过技术突破与生态创新双轮驱动，福田汽车正为巴西乃至拉美提供绿色物流的“中国方案”，加速区域交通体系向零碳目标进化。

Eco-Win for All: Building a China-Inspired Model of Global Synergy

生态共赢：构建全球化协同的“中国范式”

During the event, FOTON signed multiple strategic agreements with international partners including AGRALE, Marcopolo, and DP World, deepening its localized model of “Technical Standards + Ecosystem Synergy + Value Sharing.” Simultaneously, FOTON officially launched its “Super Power Alliances” in the Latin American market,  partnering with world leaders such as CATL and TELD to deliver comprehensive NEV ecosystem solutions — from battery packs to smart charging — shifting from product-level exports to full-scenario empowerment. Through this dual engine of technology export and ecosystem collaboration, FOTON is not only strengthening its global competitive edge in the commercial vehicle industry, but also reshaping the global competition landscape with openness and innovation—establishing a new industry paradigm of “Latin America-driven, globally resonant” growth.

活动中，福田汽车与巴西AGRALE、Marcopolo、DP World等国际伙伴签署多项战略协议，深化属地“技术标准+生态协同+价值共享”模式，已成功链合动力电池龙头宁德时代、充电生态特来电等国际新能源企业，组建"超级动力生态联盟Super Power Alliance"，联盟将以动力电池、智慧充电等绿色出行装备解决方案，实现从单一产品输出到全场景生态赋能的跨越式发展。凭借技术输出与生态协同，不仅建立起福田汽车在全球商用车行业中的自身优势，更以开放姿态重构全球竞争逻辑，形成“拉美驱动、全球共振”的产业格局。

Rooted in Latin America, powering the world—FOTON is demonstrating to the world that the globalization of Chinese brands is not merely about market expansion, but a deeper integration of technology, ecosystems, and shared responsibility. With an open and inclusive mindset and a firm commitment to green innovation, FOTON is leading the commercial vehicle industry from “Global Industrial Chain Synergy” to a new paradigm of ecosystem-based global collaboration. Under the concept of “Deepening Roots in Latin America, Driving Global Progress,” FOTON is offering a new model for the intelligent and zero-carbon transformation of global transportation.

以拉美为核，链动全球。福田汽车以开放包容的格局、绿色创新的担当，向世界证明：中国品牌的全球化不仅是市场的拓展，更是技术、生态与责任的深度交融。在“深耕拉美，驱动全球”的旗帜下，福田正引领商用车产业从“制造出海”迈向“生态共赢”，为全球交通产业的智能化与零碳化转型提供新范式
