BAIC Foton Unveils All-Domain Ultra-Fast Charging Ecosystem Strategy and Debuts Two New Energy Commercial Vehicles

On November 6, Foton Motor unveiled in Beijing a full-scenario supercharging ecosystem layout plan and simultaneously launched two new energy commercial vehicle products: the Omark Z supercharging light truck and the megawatt-level supercharging heavy truck. The system is built around three dimensions: the full chain of commercial vehicle energy replenishment, the implementation of supporting stations, and intelligent energy scheduling. In terms of technical architecture, the vehicle side relies on a high-voltage electrical architecture, customized supercharging batteries, and a temperature-controlled cooling system to handle high-power charging input; the charger side is responsible for outputting high-power current and controlling charging safety; the communication network and cloud platform undertake the functions of power load forecasting, charging resource scheduling, and full-lifecycle battery health management. The platform can obtain the vehicle's real-time location and estimated arrival time and remotely adjust battery temperature in advance. At the product level, the Omark Z light truck targets urban distribution, express delivery, and cold-chain transportation scenarios. It is equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform and a supercharging battery with a peak 8C rate, with a maximum charging power of 1.05 megawatts. Official public test data show that the vehicle takes 8 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%. In a previous actual test on an 800-kilometer cold-chain route between Maoming and Shenzhen, a single midway recharge took 8 minutes, and the cold-chain unit remained in operation throughout the journey. The megawatt-level supercharging heavy truck covers two product series, Auman Galaxy and Kavon Xinghai, and targets long-haul trunk-line transportation, short-distance port transfer, and bulk cargo transportation scenarios. Test results announced at the event show that the heavy truck takes 18 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%, and 6 minutes of charging can add about 100 kilometers of effective range. The heavy truck is equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform and coordinates charging power, battery temperature, and vehicle energy consumption through charging algorithms and a thermal management system. During development, it completed validation under high-temperature, high-altitude, severe-cold, long-slope, and high-frequency port start-stop operating conditions. In terms of station construction, Foton Motor will work with partners to plan and implement 5,000 standardized comprehensive supercharging stations, advancing through three models: self-construction, joint investment, and the export of equipment and technical support. Newly built stations will be equipped with photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and bidirectional charging and discharging functions and will participate in regional power grid off-peak electricity scheduling.
