With a sales target of 150,000 new energy vehicles by 2025, FOTON will initially establish a new energy ecological closed-loop system of “vehicle + charging pile + solar energy + storage + cargo + intelligence”. By 2030, in cooperation with ecological partners, FOTON’s new energy new ecology will become the largest producer of electric commercial vehicles, and the largest provider of clean energy in the new energy commercial vehicle market.
