DRIVING THE PHILIPPINES COMMERICIAL VEHICLE ELECTRIFICATION.
With public awareness and acceptance for fully electric vehicles
becoming greater every day and, more importantly, more charging stations being added to the national
infrastructure every week, it comes as no surprise that commercial vehicles are now starting to follow
suit.
THE FIRST 100% ELECTRIC LIGHT DUTY TRUCK DEBUT IN THE PHILIPPINES AND DELIVERED TO THE LEADER IN LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS.
In February 2023, FOTON eAUMARK electric light duty truck debuted at the
FOTON’s Big Show 2023 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, fully intending to be at the
forefront of electrified commercial vehicles.
In just four months since FOTON’s Big Show, logistics firms have accepted
deliveries of their brand new FOTON Tornado EV trucks, including DB Schenker, the local arm of
150-year-old German firm, a world leader in logistics solutions and supply chain management. It has
operated in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific with 4PL, LLP, freight management,
transportation management, and supply chain solutions.
Not only in the Philippines, FOTON is also the partner of DB SCHENKER
to logistic fleet electrification.
PARTNERING WITH AN AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY LIKE FOTON, ONE OF THE LEADERS
IN THIS SPACE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES, IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE HAPPY TO BE THEIR FIRST CLIENT TO
EXPERIENCE THIS OFFERING. WITH FOTON, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ADVANCE A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS IN
THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY.

GREAT COMPATITIVE PRODUCT CAPABILITY.
Using the same EV technology found in high-end electric cars
and SUVs, the FOTON eAUMARK 3.6 EV utilizes a permanent-magnet synchronous motor with peak outputs
of 154 horsepower and 300 Newton-meters of torque, enough to accelerate the electric truck from zero
to 50 km/h in just 9 seconds and reach a top speed of 90 km/h. Driving range on a full charge is 208
kilometers (using the global WLTP standards) while charging may be done via AC or DC charger (2-4
hours on DC and 12 hours on AC from 20% to 100% charge).
The braking system is traditional hydraulic for ease of
maintenance and repairs. The truck’s gradeability—the steepest hill a truck can climb using maximum
torque at the lowest gear—is an impressive 20 percent.
The FOTON eAUMARK 3.6 EV Truck has a gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of 6,000 kilograms with a payload of 3,600 kilograms and a curb weight of 2,400 kilograms. It
measures 5,960 x 1.925 x 2,260 mm (L*W*H) and has a 3,360 mm wheelbase.
Comfort, convenience, and safety features include an air
conditioning system, multimedia (MP3/Aux/USB) audio system, adjustable steering wheel, power
windows, central locking with remote key, reverse sensor, ABS, Electronic Brake force Distribution
(EBD), among many others.
