At the 2026 IAA Transportation in Hannover, BAIC Foton displayed complete vehicles and self‑developed core components, with several models staging their overseas premieres. A major milestone was achieved on‑site: Foton handed over its 13‑millionth globally manufactured vehicle to European customers — a Foton Auman Galaxy 9 heavy‑duty truck. Having completed real‑world tests in Spain, this truck has entered Europe’s premium long‑haul logistics segment and symbolizes Chinese commercial‑vehicle brands’ advance into high‑end global markets.

Moving forward, Foton will focus on three priorities: fresh European‑market layouts, hitting global development milestones and unveiling flagship cutting‑edge products to fuel its global expansion momentum. The trade show serves as both a demonstration of product strength and preparation for deeper European engagement. It signals Chinese commercial‑vehicle makers are evolving from mere export‑oriented sales toward full‑fledged branded overseas operations.
