In late July, a high-level delegation from Foton Motor Group paid a significant visit to Chengli Automobile Group, marking a pivotal step toward deepening strategic cooperation between the two industry leaders. The delegation, representing the deepening Chengli and Foton strategic cooperation, was led by Mr. Wang Shuhai, Deputy General Manager of Foton Motor Group, Party Secretary, and President of the Times Business Division. He was accompanied by key executives, including Mr. Xie Dianfeng, Business Vice President of Foton Group; Mr. Pan Linbo, Deputy Director of the Foton Motor Group Marketing Headquarters; Mr. Song Yang, General Manager of the Strategic Customer Marketing Company under the Marketing Headquarters; and Mr. Gao Xinlu, R&D Vice President of the Foton Motor Group Times Business Division.
The visit was warmly hosted by Chengli Automobile Group’s senior management, including General Manager Cheng Aluo, Assistant General Manager Liu Feng, Chassis Division Director Shi Lei, and Liu Heng. Following in-depth, closed-door discussions focused on strategic coordination and future collaboration, both parties jointly organized a grand launch event at the Suizhou Country Garden Hotel to introduce Foton Times’ new-generation China VI-compliant chassis products.
During the event, a landmark strategic framework agreement was signed between Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle—China’s leading designated manufacturer of specialized vehicles and emergency equipment—and Foton Times Business Division, a domestic powerhouse in commercial vehicles. The agreement outlines Chengli’s intention to purchase 2,000 China VI-compliant chassis from Foton. Mr. Liu Feng, Assistant General Manager of Chengli Automobile Group, represented the company at the signing ceremony.
This powerful alliance lays a solid foundation for mutual growth and success. Foton Times expressed its commitment to providing full-scale, comprehensive support across all product lines to Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle, recognizing its leadership role in the industry and aiming to foster its long-term development.
At the “2020 Foton Times China VI Special Vehicle Star Product Promotion Conference,” Mr. Gao Xinlu, R&D Vice President of Foton Times Business Division, introduced the standout features of the star product series. He highlighted the Foton Linghang H sanitation vehicle chassis, emphasizing its cost-effective modification capabilities thanks to a customized chassis design that ensures seamless integration with mainstream vehicle bodies on the market. Specialized data indicates that each modification meets the “one vehicle, one standard” compliance requirement. Having undergone rigorous “triple-high” verification tests under extreme conditions, the chassis offers exceptional value—priced 3-5% lower than mainstream competitors while delivering 15-30% higher load capacity and reliability. Furthermore, the upgraded interior significantly enhances driving comfort, embodying a human-centric design philosophy that strengthens user experience and brand loyalty.
At the event, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle—China’s largest designated manufacturer of specialized vehicles and emergency response equipment—signed a strategic framework agreement with Foton Times Division, the domestic leader in commercial vehicles, to procure 2,000 National VI chassis. Liu Feng, Assistant General Manager of Chengli Automobile Group, represented company leadership at the signing ceremony.
This deep strategic collaboration has effectively streamlined communication channels, reinforced mutual trust and goodwill, and precisely aligned each party’s operational needs while addressing potential blind spots. It establishes a robust foundation for shared growth and paves the way for innovative advancements in the special-purpose vehicle industry.
Chengli and Foton strategic cooperation not only marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between leading manufacturers in China’s special-purpose vehicle industry but also demonstrates a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainable development. By combining strengths, both companies are poised to set new benchmarks in product excellence and market responsiveness, ultimately driving progress for the entire sector. Together, Chengli and Foton strategic cooperation are steering toward a future defined by synergistic growth, technological advancement, and greater value creation for customers nationwide.
