On August 10, BAIC Group’s delivery ceremony marking 40 million users with the theme “Gearing Up for a New Chapter, Marching Forward With 40Million Users” was held in Beijing. At the event, subsidiary brands under BAIC Group completed countdown relay deliveries in sequence via video. Following this, Zhang Jianyong, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and Chief Product Officer of BAIC Group, handed over the 40millionth vehicle onsite, officially ushering in the era of 40 million users for BAIC Group.
Facing the next milestone of tenmillion users, Zhang Jianyong put forward four key expectations: always keep users at the core, let highquality products speak for themselves, ensure technology delivers real value, and value the strength of all partners moving forward together.
During this handover relay showcasing development achievements across the Group’s multiple brands, the 39,999,997th complete vehicle of BAIC Group was delivered by Wu Zongtian, President of BAIC FOTON international — a batteryelectric bus bound for Pakistan. This newenergy commercial vehicle bridges Chinese manufacturing and overseas public transport. It not only adds a distinct global highlight to BAIC Group’s milestone of 40 million users, but also demonstrates BAIC FOTON’s comprehensive strength in expanding international markets and serving global customers. Furthermore, it represents a concrete step for BAIC FOTON to deliver on the Group’s vision of four “TenMillion” goals and march toward the next tenmillion milestone with globaloriented capabilities.

Delivering on market needs through reliable products and generating value via newenergy technologies echoes the core tenets: “Quality products speak for the millions of users” and “Technology shall deliver tangible value”.
From exporting products overseas to buildinginlocal capabilities
When it comes to the globalisation of commercial vehicles, delivery is only the starting point. Markets differ in regulatory standards, road conditions, operational models and servicesupport requirements. True international competence lies in localmarket integration and consistent value creation.
For the Pakistan project, BAIC FOTON will supply batteryelectric buses together with supporting charging facilities, and support local partners in building a KD plant. Through technical support and industrial collaboration, the Company will help enhance local bus manufacturing and operational support capabilities. From product delivery to joint capacity building, this reflects the notion that “we should value the power of partnership along our journey”.
From completevehicle exports and aftersales support, to supporting infrastructure and local manufacturing partnerships, BAIC FOTON is entering overseas markets with more comprehensive solutions. Building on BAIC Group’s milestone of 40 million users, BAIC FOTON will further advance its newenergy and global expansion strategies. With more competitive products, enhanced services and deeper local collaboration, it will deliver reliable, efficient and sustainable commercialvehicle solutions for global customers, generating greater momentum for BAIC Group to reach its next 10millionuser target and fulfil its vision of four “10million” milestones.
