The Super Truck Was Released in Asia-Pacific, a Brand new concept Helps Regional Industry Upgrading
At Foton Motor's Global Partner Conference, Foton Motor displayed its super truck series??AUMAN EST and AUMARK S. The "super truck program" originated from the USA, aiming to work out a "super truck" with 50% lower oil consumption, 50% higher brake thermal efficiency than before, and an emission standard that higher than the Euro VI standard; many engine and entire vehicle manufacturers including Daimler and Cummins have joined this program. In such a context, Foton Motor has built "Foton Motor Industry 4.0" system that takes smart commerce, smart management, smart automobiles, smart plants and smart manufacture as the core. Cooperated with world top-rated enterprises such as Daimler, Cummins, ZF, Continent Electronics, etc, we have set up "Intelligent Connected Super Truck Alliance"??built a platform for super truck innovation development. The "Super Truck" is the first scientific and technological result of this great program.
According to Foton Motor's explanation of the "Super Truck Program", the super truck takes the green truck and car networking as its core contents??and complete three major solutions of platform modular design, super-low wind resistance design and light weight design??to build up the smart truck and smart transportation solutions supported by the nine major technologies of routine high-performance power, mixed power, high-performance AMT, auxiliary driving system, fleet management and cargo carrying matching. Specific the products, the aim of the future Foton Motor super truck series products is to lower the entire vehicle oil consumption by 30% (or purely electrically driven), reduce the entire vehicle carbon emission by 30% (or zero emission), and raise the freight efficiency by 70%.
Among others, FOTON AUMAN EST is the hit product of the super trucks, and has reached Euro VI emission standard. The entire vehicle's B10 life has reached 1 million kilometers??and it has the low cargo table design with a ground clearance of 1100 millimeters.
FOTON AUMARK S is characterized by smart, green and high performance??platform modular design, super-low wind resistance design and light weight design, have integrated the nine major technologies of routine high performance power, mixed power, high-performance AMT, auxiliary control loop, fleet management, and shipment matching, so they have achieved the self transcending of product power. In future, we shall also introduce the natural gas driven vehicles or purely electrically driven vehicles, to further practice the philosophy of "Green Transportation".
