Recently, BAIC FOTON held an overseas shipment ceremony for Proco sanitation equipment in Changsha under the theme “One Heart Across Mountains and Seas, Together We Soar.” More than 1,000 units of full-series sanitation equipment were shipped to overseas markets, and a series of product operating-condition adaptability upgrades for overseas markets were completed at the same time.

This product upgrade is not a simple parameter adjustment. Instead, it is customized development based on real operating scenarios, focusing on long-distance overseas transportation, differentiated climate environments, and local operating habits, and has been verified through multiple tests. Through this upgrade, BAIC FOTON continues to enhance the global market competitiveness of its specialized sanitation equipment and further expand the product layout of its international business.

Multi-layer protection enhances product reliability in complex environments

Ocean transportation cycles are long, and salt spray and high-humidity environments can easily cause vehicle corrosion and appearance damage. To address this challenge, BAIC FOTON has built a multi-layer anti-corrosion system: structural parts use electrophoresis, primer, and topcoat processes, with a paint film thickness of no less than 120 μm; the chassis and complete vehicle adopt dual protection with polyurea coating to enhance resistance to salt spray erosion and reduce the impact of long-distance transportation and coastal environments on vehicle condition.

For coastal high-temperature, high-humidity, and rainy/foggy environments, the exported models have added a high-pressure filtration device to the hydraulic system to improve oil cleanliness and reduce wear on components caused by impurities. The protection level of the electrical system has been upgraded to IP67, enhancing protection under washing, wading, and high-humidity conditions. These improvements help reduce the impact of complex environments on key systems and provide assurance for the normal operation of vehicles after arrival at port.

Focusing on actual operating conditions and strengthening verification of dedicated operating performance

Product adaptation is not only reflected in environmental protection but must also respond to local personnel operation and vehicle operating needs. To meet boarding, alighting, and daily operation needs, relevant models have been designed with left and right pedals with a load-bearing capacity of 150 kg, improving operating convenience; the complete vehicle has passed side-tilt, full-load braking, and nose-up tests to verify safety and stability in typical scenarios such as full load, turning, and slopes.

To meet the continuous operation needs under high-temperature environments in Africa, the auxiliary engine of the sweeping/washing truck has passed a coastal high-temperature heat-balance test to verify continuous operation capability under high-temperature conditions; the detachable container garbage truck and swing-arm dump truck have completed heavy-load tests to verify structural reliability and operating stability under heavy-load conditions.

Comprehensive internationalization means not only expanding market coverage but also improving the ability of products to respond to different market demands. This batch shipment of sanitation equipment is a further extension of BAIC FOTON’s international layout in the specialized equipment field. Guided by market demand in product development and winning user recognition with reliable performance, BAIC FOTON is continuously strengthening the global market competitiveness of its specialized equipment and advancing international operations in a deeper and more substantive manner.
