At ichelabamotor, we live for these moments. Recently, our valued client in South America sent us a video of their newly delivered FOTON Tunland V9—and we couldn’t be more excited to share this milestone.
Why the FOTON Tunland V9?
The Tunland V9 is making waves in global markets, and for good reason. As a mid-size pickup positioned in one of the most competitive segments, it brings impressive specifications to the table:
Dimensions: 5,617 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, with a 3,355 mm wheelbase
Powertrain: 2.0L diesel engine with 48V mild hybrid technology, delivering 120 kW (160 HP) and 450 Nm of torque
Transmission: ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP50) for smooth power delivery
Off-road capability: 4×4 with part-time four-wheel drive, 240 mm ground clearance, and Multilink rear suspension
Cargo capacity: 805 kg payload and 76L fuel tank
The South American Market Opportunity
South America represents a strategic growth region for automotive exports. With light vehicle sales reaching 4.8 million units across Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico in 2025—an 8% year-over-year growth—the momentum is undeniable. Argentina alone saw a remarkable 48.4% increase in sales.
Pickup trucks are particularly well-suited to the region’s needs. South American economies rely heavily on agriculture, mining, and construction—sectors where vehicles like the Tunland V9 excel at combining load capacity, off-road capability, and everyday usability.
Building Trust, One Delivery at a Time
Our South American client’s decision to choose ichelabamotor reflects the trust we’ve earned through:

The video our client shared isn’t just a delivery confirmation—it’s a testament to the global reach of quality Chinese vehicles and the partnerships we’re building across borders.
Looking Ahead
The FOTON Tunland V9 is gaining recognition for its diesel hybrid technology and competitive features. As the South American automotive market continues to expand—with electrified vehicle sales growing 62.6% year-over-year—we’re excited to be part of this transformation.
