On August 28, 2026, Foton Motor made a significant announcement regarding the launch of its Cangqiong Intelligent Driving autonomous driving platform and the introduction of the AUMAN Galaxy 9 heavy truck to the Americas. This marks a dual advancement in technological innovation and overseas expansion. The unveiling of the Cangqiong three-tier autonomous driving system represents a new breakthrough in China's heavy truck intelligent technology. The AUMAN Galaxy 9's entry into the Americas market is a further step overseas following its launch in Peru. The real-world trials during the "AUMAN Galaxy Global Value Tour" in Peru have fully validated the vehicle's global reliability. With these dual breakthroughs in technology and market presence, the AUMAN Galaxy heavy truck is well-positioned to continuously raise the industry standards for global high-end heavy trucks and comprehensively empower the high-quality transformation and upgrading of logistics industries both domestically and internationally.

Focusing on Real-World Line-Haul Performance, Intelligent Scenario-Based Iteration Empowers Efficient Operations

　　In the high-end heavy truck arena, intelligence, real-world performance, and scale have become core competitive barriers. Grounded in the core operational nature of commercial vehicles and focused on four key user needs—cost reduction, safety, workload reduction, and efficiency—Foton Motor has developed a proprietary "5+3+1+N" full-stack intelligent driving technology platform. This has enabled the creation of the three-tier Cangqiong A, B, and C integrated intelligent driving matrix, covering all operating conditions and precisely matching diverse commercial operational requirements. Among these, the Cangqiong B autonomous driving system features customized control algorithms and intelligent fuel-saving strategies, effectively alleviating driver fatigue, optimizing energy consumption, and improving overall operational efficiency. Its maturity and stability have been thoroughly validated by hardcore real-world data, including over 3,000 units delivered for mass production, 400 million kilometers of cumulative safe operation, and zero attributable safety accidents throughout.

　　As the vehicle platform for this autonomous driving technology, the AUMAN Galaxy 9 HWP (Highway Pilot) heavy truck, equipped with the Cangqiong B system, is tailored for high-frequency 600-800km high-end cold-chain line-haul routes in China. It precisely translates mature and reliable commercial autonomous driving capabilities into tangible, actionable value for line-haul operators. In actual operations, the AUMAN Galaxy 9 HWP boasts industry-leading intelligent hardware and real-world performance. It not only establishes a comprehensive, millisecond-level safety protection system—providing layered defenses from perception and intervention to fatigue mitigation—but also achieves the value breakthrough of enabling a single driver to accomplish the workload of two. Furthermore, the vehicle can save 3% to 5% on fuel or gas consumption and reduce fleet management costs by 15% to 20%, comprehensively enhancing operational efficiency.

Following Industry Transformation, Full Energy Matrix Covers All Logistics Scenarios; Successful Americas Market Entry

　　The successful entry into the Americas market and international recognition highlight the exceptional global product quality of the AUMAN Galaxy 9 heavy truck. Currently, the AUMAN Galaxy 9 has achieved a full energy product matrix encompassing diesel, gas, hybrid, and pure electric powertrains. Leveraging mature powertrain technology and intelligent energy consumption control systems, it has undergone comprehensive, refined calibration to deliver holistic advancements in power performance, energy efficiency, and adaptability to various operating conditions. It can cover all logistics scenarios, offering customized solutions for cost reduction and efficiency improvement to users with different operational needs.

　　Specifically, the AUMAN Galaxy 9's 680-horsepower diesel model and high-horsepower gas model are well-suited for long-haul and mountainous conditions. The hybrid version achieves efficient synergy between electric and combustion power, effectively optimizing overall vehicle energy consumption. The pure electric version is equipped with a large-capacity battery pack and, relying on a proprietary full-domain energy consumption control system, achieves ultra-low energy consumption of ≤1.1 kWh/km. Combined with high-current fast charging, it significantly improves recharging efficiency and vehicle turnover, meeting the demands for strong power, long-term efficiency, and high operational availability across diverse and complex operational scenarios both domestically and internationally.

　　It can be said that the AUMAN Galaxy 9 effectively addresses the traditional industry pain points of insufficient power, high energy consumption, and limited scenario adaptability. It is poised to facilitate the upgrading of logistics industries at home and abroad, showcasing the hardcore product strength and global competitiveness of China's high-end heavy trucks.

Bidirectional Empowerment at Home and Abroad, Solidifying Global Brand Ambition with High-End Strength

　　As Foton AUMAN's high-end heavy truck, the AUMAN Galaxy 9's successful launch in the Americas and the high market recognition gained from its previous Peru launch ceremony underscore its robust quality. Currently, the AUMAN Galaxy Americas Cross-Continent Tour has officially commenced. Covering a total distance of 15,000 kilometers, the convoy will traverse 19 cities across 7 American countries, navigating extreme terrains including plateaus, deserts, rainforests, and coastlines. The tour, centered around Peru's Andes plateau, is focused on validating core capabilities such as high-altitude power output, long-descent braking reliability, and complex cornering stability. This effort aims to comprehensively adapt to the differentiated demands of Americas' mining, mountainous, and infrastructure transport sectors. This once again confirms the global product competitiveness of Foton AUMAN's high-end heavy trucks. Their excellent quality has earned high recognition from overseas users, enabling bidirectional empowerment and synchronized advancement in both domestic and international markets.

　　In the future, Foton AUMAN will continue to concentrate on the core needs of users for efficient operations, deeply engage in the iteration of intelligent technologies and the innovation of high-end products. Through multiple models including real-scenario trials, localized in-depth operations, and global user experiences, it will cultivate domestic and international markets, continuously strengthening its core competitiveness in intelligence and high-end positioning. This will accelerate the global rollout of China's high-end intelligent heavy trucks and drive the brand's global ascension.
