Baic Foton Unveils Megawatt Supercharging E-Trucks

Beijing, China- BAIC Foton Motor Co., Ltd., has introduced its advanced Supercharging Strategy, alongside the global debut of the AUMARK Z supercharging light-duty truck and megawatt-level electric heavy-duty trucks, at a major technology launch event in Beijing, China. The initiative strengthens the company's commitment to accelerating commercial vehicle electrification through ultra-fast charging, intelligent energy management and integrated charging infrastructure.

The strategy centres on a Vehicle–Charger–Grid–Cloud ecosystem, connecting electric vehicles, charging stations, electricity networks and cloud-based platforms. The system supports coordinated energy management, charging optimisation and data-driven fleet operations. BAIC FOTON's connected ecosystem currently includes more than 3.5 million vehicles and access to approximately 770,000 charging terminals.

A major technological highlight is the company's advanced 800V electrical architecture, supporting voltages up to 1,000V, charging power of 1.5MW and dual-connector current of 1,600A. The battery technology offers charging efficiency of up to 95%, more than 6,500 charging cycles and advanced thermal management to support operational reliability.

The newly unveiled FOTON AUMARK Z is presented as the world's first dedicated-platform supercharging light-duty truck. Equipped with 8C charging technology and peak charging power of 1.05MW, the vehicle can reportedly recharge its battery from 20% to 80% in just eight minutes, significantly reducing charging downtime for urban logistics operators.

In the heavy-duty segment, BAIC FOTON introduced megawatt-level supercharging technology for its AUMAN GALAXUS and CAVAN BEACON truck series. According to the company, six minutes of charging can provide approximately 100 kilometres of driving range, supporting high-utilisation applications such as express logistics, cold-chain transportation, port operations and bulk cargo movement.

To strengthen charging infrastructure, BAIC FOTON is developing integrated solar-energy storage and supercharging stations, combining renewable energy generation, battery storage and intelligent power management. The company has also partnered with CATL, Sunwoda, TELD and Hunan Jingneng to establish a Supercharging Industry Ecosystem Alliance, targeting the development of 5,000 standardised integrated charging stations.

As part of its international expansion strategy, BAIC FOTON plans to deploy more than 3,000 overseas charging units by 2027, focusing on markets across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa and Europe. The initiative builds on the company's commercial presence in more than 140 countries and regions.

Through advanced charging technology, intelligent energy integration and strategic industry partnerships, BAIC FOTON aims to reduce commercial vehicle charging downtime, improve logistics efficiency and accelerate the global transition towards sustainable electric transportation.
