The 1 millionth overseas Foton Motor rolled off the assembly line in Thailand, and the local pure electric heavy truck rolled off the assembly line in Thailand

On November 27, 2024, as a pure electric heavy truck slowly rolled off the production line, the 1 millionth vehicle sold overseas by BAIC Foton Commercial Vehicle rolled off the assembly line at the same time. The completion ceremony of the BAIC Foton Motor Thailand factory and the export roll-off ceremony of the 1 millionth vehicle were held in Bangkok.

The BAIC Foton Motor Thailand factory was jointly established by the Foton Zhengda joint venture.

The Foton Motor Thailand factory covers an area of ​​about 37,000 square meters. The current production line includes medium and heavy trucks, light trucks, small trucks, buses and other commercial vehicle products. Foton Motor has also become one of the few Chinese commercial vehicle companies to set up a truck factory in Thailand.

BAIC Foton has ranked first in China's commercial vehicle exports for 14 consecutive years, and its new energy products have covered 45 countries and regions around the world. Foton Motor said that it has established an industrial cluster in Thailand, and the next step will be to further expand to Asia-Pacific markets such as Indonesia and Vietnam. In addition, the localization layout in the Americas is progressing steadily, and the Brazilian local manufacturing project will also start production in 2025.

This is not only an important node in the global development of Foton Motor, but also indicates that after 20 years of internationalization, Foton Motor has entered the deep operation stage of internationalization of the entire industrial chain.
