Commercial Vehicle Solutions Peter Laier, and APAC President,

achieve mass production in the Chinese market.

Motor, said: "Foton Motor has always adhered to the development
direction of green and low-carbon new energy. The hybrid system is
one of the important strategies jointly implemented for the
development of the global commercial vehicle new energy industry.
The signing of this strategic cooperation agreement marks another
upgrade of cooperation between the two parties in new energy and
globalization."
Facing the wave of new energy transformation, Foton Motor has
carried out the three technical routes of "pure electric + hybrid +

technology and hybrid product matrix, but also seized the technical
commanding heights of the heavy-duty commercial vehicle hybrid
