Efforts will be made to construct an efficient digital ecosystem. By innovating marketing models, FOTON will drive dealerships to transition from traditional sales and service to customer-centric operations, including used vehicles, operational leasing, and energy supply.
Unwaveringly advancing the strategy of global development, FOTON aims to achieve scalable growth, consolidate market foundations in developing countries, expedite national industrial layout, and seize opportunities to enter developed markets.
Rooted in the key node of accelerated evolution in the new energy transformation, FOTON embarks on its fourth brand rejuvenation, unveiling a fresh brand strategy – “Easy Move.” Chairman Chang Rui expressed, “We envision a future where people, vehicles, goods, energy, digits, and value can move freely in space and time, interacting seamlessly between the virtual and the real. This strategy mirrors our development approach and aspires towards a brighter future.” The brand identity also undergoes evolution, characterized by a smarter, lighter, and more technological design.
The first half of 2023 has seen remarkable performance from FOTON.
