Foton ISF FAQs

• Who makes Foton?

  As a subsidiary of the Beijing Automotive Group (BAIC Group), Foton Motors was established in Beijing, China, in 1996. The company, which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, is a leading manufacturer of light commercial vehicles including utes and pick-up trucks, trucks and busses, and also passenger vehicles and SUVs. Nowadays, Foton is headquartered in Changping, Beijing, and it also has assembly plants in Thailand and the Philippines.

• Is Foton a good brand?

  While Foton might be a name that isn't all that known among typical households, in the trucking industry, Foton is a highly-regarded player. So when you're looking at their trucks, rest assured that the accessible price-tag doesn't mean you are skimping on quality. In fact, the Foton range of trucks utilise Cummins engines, an exceptional name in the truck engine industry, while Eaton is a supplier of the transmission gearboxes you'll find. With that sort of mechanical know-how at hand, the Foton brand is among the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers in Asia.
