BAIC FOTON has unveiled its integrated supercharging strategy at a launch event held in Beijing on November 6, marking an important step towards expanding its smart energy and commercial vehicle ecosystem.
The event brought together company executives, industry partners, customers and media representatives. Along with the strategy announcement, BAIC FOTON also made the global debut of the AUMARK Z supercharging light-duty truck and its megawatt-level supercharging heavy-duty trucks.
Through this initiative, the company aims to accelerate the development of an integrated vehicle-charger-grid-cloud ecosystem combining electric commercial vehicles, high-power charging infrastructure, energy networks and cloud-based technologies to support the future of smart and sustainable transportation.
Integrated Energy Management and Supercharging Technology
BAIC FOTON vice president Qin Zhidong outlined the strategy, highlighting opportunities in charging services, virtual power plants, battery leasing and battery reuse.
The integrated architecture connects vehicles, charging stations, power grids, and cloud platforms for coordinated energy management. Supported by over 3.5 million connected vehicles, 3 PB of daily data processing and 770,000 charging terminals, it enables data-driven operations.
Its 800V architecture supports 1,000V, 1.5MW charging power, and 1,600A dual-connector current. The batteries offer over 4C charging rates, 95% efficiency and over 6,500 cycles, supported by thermal management technology.
Two supercharging models make global debut
Ma Lu, President of Foton AUV and Aumark Business Division, introduced the Aumark Z, the world’s first supercharging light-duty truck built on a dedicated electric platform. With 8C charging and 1.05MW peak power, it charges from 20% to 80% in eight minutes.
Chen Peng, vice president of R&D at Foton Auman, introduced the megawatt-level heavy-duty trucks covering the Auman Galaxus and Kaivan Beacon series. Six minutes of charging provides a range of approximately 100 kilometers, supporting express logistics, cold-chain transportation, port operations and bulk cargo delivery.
Expanding the global supercharging ecosystem
BAIC FOTON is developing a solar-storage-charging station with 10kV AC input and 1,000V DC output, integrating power generation, storage and energy management.
Together with CATL, Sunvoda, TELD and Hunan Jingneng, BAIC FOTON launched a supercharging industry ecosystem alliance, targeting 5,000 standardized integrated charging stations.
Leveraging operations in more than 140 countries and regions, BAIC FOTON plans to expand charging infrastructure in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa and Europe, aiming to have more than 3,000 overseas charging units by 2027.
Through vehicle, battery and energy ecosystem collaboration, BAIC FOTON aims to improve logistics efficiency, reduce operating costs and support green commercial transportation around the world.
