FOTON vehicle first came to Philippine shores in 2006 through the United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI). UAAGI is the exclusive distributor of FOTON commercial vehicles and heavy machinery in the Philippines.
FOTON is considered to be Asia’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer. It has a wide range of commercial vehicles, which include, but is not limited to, passenger vehicles, light, medium, and heavy duty trucks, agricultural and heavy machinery. It has manufacturing plants in different cities and provinces of China, as well as overseas.
In line with its goal to becoming a full-pledged global brand, it has partnered with world-renowned brands and corporations such as Lotus, Eaton, Motorola, Bosch, DANA, GETRAG, to name a few. The most notable of which are the joint ventures with CUMMINS, USA and with Daimler AG. It is because of these that the founders and incorporators of UAAGI were convinced that FOTON would be a brand that will be welcomed and embraced by the Philippine market.
Ten years after UAAGI’s incorporation in the Philippines, it continued to expand by opening FOTON Motor Philippines, Inc. (FMPI). FMPI is an assembly facility that spans 11 hectares in the heart of Clark Freeport Zone which now serves as the source of locally-assembled passenger and commercial vehicles. Apart from the production of vehicles for business and leisure, the establishment of the FOTON Clark Assembly Plant also aims to improve the Philippine economy by employing a sizable workforce of Filipino engineers and technical personnel. These assembled vehicles are to be marketed locally and imported to the ASEAN region by utilizing the Philippines as its strategic export hub.
Manifesting more of Foton’s success is the growing number of its dealerships nationwide. Strategically located in key cities within Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, Foton’s 24 dealership provides business solutions through its wide array of products and complete aftersales capabilities.
FOTON Philippines had also set-up a vehicle storage, vehicle testing, service training, and parts warehouse facility located in Valenzuela, Bulacan to serve as a support for FOTON’s dealership network and as a distribution point for local and nationwide sales.
FOTON is aligned with national goals in sustaining economic growth, providing quality passenger and commercial vehicles to Filipino families and businesses throughout the Philippines.
FOTON Philippines’ Team of leaders and highly-trained professionals are united to make FOTON the premier commercial vehicle brand in the Philippines, an industry leader providing first rate products and services. They aspire to achieve this by putting their customers at the forefront of their business and exceeding their expectations.
