From September 3 to 6, the 2026 China Cultural Tourism Industry Expo grandly opened at the Tianjin Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center. With the theme "Deepening Cultural Tourism Integration, Smart Creation for a Better Life," this expo focused on new formats, new equipment, and new consumption scenarios in the cultural tourism industry. As a key player in the cultural tourism travel equipment sector, FOTON TOANO showcased three vehicles at the exhibition: the TOANO X8 Type-C RV, the Scenic i Camping Vehicle, and the TOANO X6. Covering diverse application scenarios including long-distance travel and living, short-distance camping, and business and passenger transport, they demonstrated the innovative achievements of new-era travel equipment with hardcore product strength, injecting travel momentum into the high-quality development of the cultural tourism industry.

　　As domestic cultural tourism consumption continues to upgrade and mass tourism models accelerate their iteration, the markets for RV travel, short-distance camping, and group business travel are experiencing rapid growth. The market is placing higher demands on travel vehicles in terms of comfort, safety, and scenario adaptability. TOANO closely follows industry development trends and, based on users' real travel needs, continuously refines its product matrix for travel and passenger transport. At the expo's cultural tourism equipment exhibition area, it attracted many industry buyers and professional visitors to stop and experience, becoming a major highlight of the show.

TOANO X8 Type-C RV: Creating a Mobile Home on Wheels for Travel and Living

　　The TOANO X8 Type-C RV is specifically designed for in-depth, long-distance travel and living, bringing a complete home living space onto wheels to realize the travel ideal of "moving with the scenery, residing with the comfort of home." The vehicle is built on a dedicated RV chassis and equipped with a four-point air suspension system, effectively filtering out road bumps. Whether traveling long distances on highways or winding through mountain roads, it delivers a smooth and comfortable ride. Powered by a Cummins 2.8T engine matched with a 6AT transmission, it offers ample power reserves to confidently handle complex road conditions, balancing power output and fuel economy.

　　In terms of interior space layout, the TOANO X8 RV fully considers the needs of long-term travel and living. Convertible sofa beds offer flexible combinations to accommodate multiple people for rest and sleep. A separate wet and dry bathroom, an open external kitchen, a large-capacity refrigerator, and a washing machine are all included, providing complete household functions. For water and electricity, it features a large-capacity lithium battery, a 200L fresh water tank, and a rooftop solar charging system, enabling long-term self-sufficient living even away from campsites.

　　For safety, the cage-style aluminum-wood composite body structure, combined with a full suite of intelligent driver assistance systems including driver fatigue monitoring, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, and a 360° panoramic view system, provides comprehensive protection for long-distance self-driving travel. It is suitable for diverse cultural tourism scenarios such as family long-distance trips and in-depth outdoor travel.

Scenic i Camping Vehicle: Unlocking a New Experience for Light Camping and Short Getaways

　　If the X8 RV is suited for long-distance, in-depth travel, the Scenic i Camping Vehicle precisely targets the currently popular urban periphery light camping market. It emphasizes flexibility, convenience, and low-carbon travel, catering to weekend short trips and suburban camping vacation trends. Built on a new energy platform, it offers a range of up to 460 km, eliminating range anxiety for urban commuting and suburban round trips. It combines the dual attributes of daily commuting and camping leisure, offering multiple uses in one vehicle to reduce user costs.

　　A rooftop tent paired with a side-opening awning allows for easy setup of an outdoor leisure space, creating a strong camping atmosphere. The vehicle features V2L external discharge functionality, making it easy to boil tea, cook, and use various appliances outdoors, meeting diverse power needs in camping scenarios. Unlike traditional large RVs, the Scenic i Camping Vehicle has a more compact body size, making it easier to navigate city roads and park in standard spaces, breaking the limitations of RV usage scenarios. Without complex modifications, users can head to mountains and lakes, satisfying the lightweight and free-spirited cultural tourism demands of younger consumers and providing a new travel solution for short micro-vacations.

TOANO X6: A Highly Efficient Travel Tool for High-End Business and Passenger Transport

　　The TOANO X6 exhibited this time targets the B-end cultural tourism passenger transport market, including scenic area shuttles, tourist group transfers, and high-end business receptions. It redefines the business and passenger transport travel experience with passenger-vehicle-level comfort standards. With a compliant 9-seat passenger transport layout, the space has been specially optimized. The rear seats have been moved back, giving every row of passengers ample legroom. Even when fully loaded, the trunk can still accommodate multiple travel suitcases, solving the pain point of luggage storage during tourism travel.

　　The vehicle features a fully enclosed cage-style safety body, equipped with rich safety features including AEBS automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and a 360° panoramic view system, ensuring the safety of group passenger transport. The suspension system has been tuned and optimized to effectively reduce road bumps. The seats are ergonomically designed, balancing support and softness, making long rides less tiring. Electric sliding doors paired with retractable steps make it safer and more convenient for elderly passengers and tourists to get on and off. Whether for tourist group transfers, fixed scenic area shuttles, or government and corporate business receptions, the TOANO X6 is fully capable.

　　From individual family self-driving trips to cultural tourism enterprise operational vehicles, TOANO balances C-end consumer experience and B-end industry operational value, as well as fuel and new energy technology routes, providing diverse travel solutions for different types of users. In the future, TOANO will continue to base itself on real cultural tourism travel scenarios, adhere to technological innovation, refine product strength, and empower the upgrade of the cultural tourism equipment industry with high-quality complete vehicles. It will accompany more consumers in their journeys to mountains, rivers, and lakes, helping China's cultural tourism industry move towards a new stage of higher-quality development.
