As the commercial vehicle industry accelerates its transformation toward new energy, intelligence and internationalization, a flagship annual industry event has concluded successfully. On December 18, the Foton Motor 2026 Business Annual Conference, themed “Striving to Build a World-Class Commercial Vehicle Enterprise”, grandly opened at the Beijing National Convention Center. Marking the kickoff of Foton Motor’s development blueprint for the 15th Five-Year Plan, the summit gathered more than 3,000 distributors, service providers, strategic clients and media representatives to witness the brand’s new strategic layout and annual achievements. As an in-depth strategic partner of Foton Times, Kaili Automobile Group was invited to attend the event. Recognized for its outstanding strength and long-term collaborative performance in the special vehicle sector, Kaili was honored with the prestigious “Special Vehicle Leadership Award”, emerging as a standout benchmark enterprise at the conference.

Serving as the opening milestone of Foton’s 15th Five-Year Plan, the 2026 Business Annual Conference fully demonstrated remarkable achievements from Foton’s three core strategic transformations: comprehensive internationalization, comprehensive new energy upgrading and comprehensive intelligent development. In his keynote speech, Chang Rui, Chairman of Foton Motor, released authoritative operational data. In 2025, Foton’s terminal market share rose to 17%, its new energy business achieved a 90% year-on-year growth, and heavy-duty truck sales doubled year-over-year, reflecting the brand’s substantial improvement in overall market competitiveness and leading position in the industry.

Looking ahead to the 2026 development cycle, Foton Motor has set clear and aggressive annual targets: striving to reach 200,000 new energy commercial vehicle sales and 200,000 overseas export units. The company prioritizes collaborative innovation across the special vehicle industrial chain as a core development direction. By further exploring the segmented special vehicle market and empowering upstream and downstream partners, Foton is committed to fostering a high-quality industrial ecosystem and driving the sustainable upgrading of the special vehicle industry.

To reward outstanding strategic partners for their annual contributions, Foton hosted an official honor awarding ceremony, presided over by Lu Zhenghua, Deputy General Manager of Foton Motor. Maintaining long-term and in-depth collaboration with Foton Motor, Kaili Automobile Group has achieved continuous breakthroughs in the special vehicle segment with its mature R&D, manufacturing and customized service systems. Its comprehensive industry strength earned the company the high-value “Special Vehicle Leadership Award”.

Foton’s senior officials spoke highly of the bilateral partnership during the award presentation. They emphasized that collaborative innovation and resource complementarity among industrial chain participants are essential to the high-quality development of the special vehicle industry. Kaili’s professional advantages in special vehicle body R&D, customized solution design and end-user services perfectly complement Foton’s leading chassis technology and complete vehicle platform resources. The two parties have established a benchmark model for industrial chain cooperation and will continue to deepen all-round and multi-dimensional strategic collaboration in the future.

As a core strategic partner of Foton Motor, Kaili Auto always aligns its development layout with industry trends and Foton’s strategic roadmap, realizing high-level strategic synergy. Foton’s key objectives for the 15th Five-Year Plan unveiled at the conference — including the parallel development of pure electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell technologies, full-scenario application of intelligent technologies, and a 30% overseas market share target — are highly consistent with Kaili’s strategic layout in new energy, intelligent and export-oriented special vehicle businesses, laying a solid foundation for long-term in-depth cooperation.

Kaili Automobile Group stated that its participation in the Foton 2026 Business Annual Conference not only secured authoritative industry recognition through the “Special Vehicle Leadership Award”, but also enabled the company to accurately grasp the electrification, intelligent and globalization transformation trends of the commercial vehicle industry. Taking this cooperation milestone as a new starting point, Kaili will actively respond to Foton’s “Three Comprehensive” development strategies, give full play to the superposed advantages of technologies, resources and channels from both sides, continuously optimize its special vehicle product portfolio, deliver high-quality and customized vehicle solutions, and comprehensively upgrade service experiences for global end users.

With new industry opportunities emerging, joint efforts drive new progress.
