In 2026, BAIC FOTON has seen a surge in overseas orders, with export orders in the first two months up by 27.9% year-on-year, continuing the leading momentum of 2025. Thanks to the customs AEO advanced certification, which facilitates smoother customs clearance, these orders are quickly being converted into deliveries in international markets, allowing “Made-in-China” commercial vehicles to reach global markets more efficiently.
In the European market, BAIC FOTON’s high-end breakthrough has started to show results. From January to February 2026, orders in Europe increased by 136% year-on-year, with Chinese pickups and light trucks leading exports in the region. BAIC FOTON’s products are increasingly being used across various transportation scenarios in Europe. Notably, in response to the high-frequency demand for urban logistics in Spain, BAIC FOTON developed a custom electric light truck solution for DSV, designed to navigate narrow city roads while offering efficient range. This solution perfectly meets the environmental transportation requirements in Barcelona, earning high recognition.
The African market has also experienced continuous explosive growth, with orders in the first two months of 2026 doubling compared to the same period in 2025, soaring by 126.7% year-on-year. Models such as mini trucks, pickups, heavy-duty trucks, and light trucks have all performed exceptionally well. In South Africa, the full industrial chain layout is steadily advancing, with the Elizabeth Port factory, the largest automotive manufacturing project in South Africa in nearly 40 years, driving this growth. Adhering to the principle of “African demand, locally made,” BAIC FOTON has gained market recognition with customized products. Additionally, the company is proactively investing in new energy, introducing multiple all-electric models to support the local green development with Chinese solutions.
In 2026, BAIC FOTON’s overseas business will continue to strengthen the advantages of its full product lineup, leveraging its self-developed “three electric” core technologies and global partnerships. The company will accelerate the international deployment of commercial vehicles powered by electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel technologies. It will also deeply integrate intelligent technology with local market demands to enhance product competitiveness. In terms of industrial layout, BAIC FOTON will speed up the production launches in key countries like Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, while localizing parts manufacturing. By collaborating with top domestic supply chain companies, BAIC FOTON aims to build a more resilient global industrial system.
Beijing Customs is closely monitoring BAIC FOTON’s expansion into overseas markets, establishing a “One-on-One” support mechanism for enterprises. This allows them to promptly understand the company’s needs and accurately implement customs facilitation measures to ensure efficient and smooth customs clearance for BAIC FOTON. Additionally, by aligning with AEO certification standards, Beijing Customs is guiding the company to enhance its compliance operations, continuously injecting momentum into the efficient operation of FOTON’s overseas supply chain.
