Equipped with diverse powertrain options (pure electric, fuel, and natural gas) and a number of pioneering heavy-duty technologies, it provides an efficient solution for global last-mile logistics. Foton Motor has clearly defined its core "three comprehensives" development paths: comprehensive internationalization, comprehensive new energy transition, and comprehensive intelligent upgrading.
Foton adheres to the dual-brand strategy of "Foton + Times", achieving full coverage of technical routes and product lines to meet the needs of different regional markets and user types.
To meet technical demands across various scenarios, Foton Motor has formulated a development approach covering the full technical spectrum of electric, hybrid, and hydrogen power.
Foton Motor actively embraces intelligent technologies. Relying on full-domain intelligence, it builds an outstanding and efficient management system and provides customers with intelligent product solutions.
In recent years, with the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry and the profound changes in the market competition pattern, end-users’ demand for commercial vehicles with high load-bearing capacity and high quality has continued to rise. At the event, the Xiangling V5 was officially launched globally, providing a more valuable solution for last-mile logistics transportation.
As a model targeting the heavy-duty market, the Xiangling V5’s high load-bearing capacity stems from its chassis configuration: a 150mm web height straight-through high-strength steel frame, a reinforced large-ratio rear axle, and 5+2 reinforced leaf springs. While enhancing load-bearing capacity, the Xiangling V5 also features a 3.8m × 1.85m cargo box—one of the largest in its class. With 6 cargo box types and 3 width options, it offers 90 cargo box combinations, accurately tailored to a variety of segmented transportation scenarios. The Xiangling V5, with its high load-bearing capacity and versatile cargo boxes, helps users improve operational efficiency and profitability.
To showcase the technological strength of "Made in China" to the world, the Xiangling V5 is equipped with two pioneering technologies. First, it is fitted with a double-wishbone suspension, making it the world’s first micro-truck to adopt a front double-wishbone suspension—enhancing ride comfort while maintaining heavy-duty performance. Second, the Xiangling V5 debuts with dual-cylinder brake caliper technology, increasing braking force by 12.5% compared to ordinary micro-trucks. Combined with a high-strength steel body and advanced energy-absorbing buffer materials, it provides all-round protection for driving safety.
