AUMAN Galaxy 5M Battery Electric Heavy Truck Participates in Southern Yunnan Green-Channel Challenge, Achieves Ultra-Low Energy Consumption in Mountain Real-World Test

On September 9, 2026, the AUMAN Galaxy 5M battery electric tractor Southern Yunnan Green-Channel Ultimate Efficiency Energy Consumption Challenge, themed “Across the Journey, Competing at the Peak,” concluded successfully. The route of this challenge was Kunming–Honghe, a highly representative green-channel transport scenario in Southern Yunnan. Two AUMAN Galaxy 5M 466kWh battery electric heavy trucks were selected to conduct real-world testing of energy consumption levels and overall driving performance. In the end, Master Wang won the “Peak Efficiency Award” with a result of 0.97kWh/km, while Master Ma won the “Extreme Efficiency Award” with an energy consumption result of 1.06kWh/km. This truly verified the energy-saving strength of the AUMAN Galaxy 5M 466kWh battery electric heavy truck under mountain green-channel operating conditions in Southern Yunnan, and further consolidated the core product value of “Using AUMAN means saving.”

Racing Along the Kunming–Honghe Mountain Corridor, Confronting the Real Challenge of Green-Channel Logistics Transformation in Southern Yunnan.

The Kunming–Honghe route is an important trunk line for green-channel logistics in the mountainous areas of Southern Yunnan, bearing an important transport function for the collection, distribution, and transshipment of regional fresh agricultural products. Located in typical mountainous terrain of Southern Yunnan, the route features dense winding mountain roads, undulating long slopes, and interlaced curves. Combined with the demanding timeliness of green-channel transport and the operating characteristics of full-load, high-frequency stop-and-go, local green-channel operations have long been trapped in an industry dilemma of persistently high energy consumption and difficult-to-control costs. To this end, FOTON AUMAN focused precisely on this core local dedicated line and selected the AUMAN Galaxy 5M 466kWh battery electric heavy truck to carry out full real-world evaluation under native road conditions and normal full-load operating standards, truly verifying the mountain green-channel adaptability of NEW ENERGY heavy trucks and providing highly valuable practical evidence for the electrification, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement transformation of logistics in Southern Yunnan.

On this severely tested green-channel transport route, the energy-saving performance of the two vehicles was comprehensively and truly verified. At the conclusion, the real-world test results were officially announced: Master Wang won the “Peak Efficiency Award” with an ultra-low energy consumption of 0.97kWh/km, while Master Ma took the “Extreme Efficiency Award” with a stable performance of 1.06kWh/km. After the competition, Master Wang, combining his hands-on experience throughout the entire journey, said: “The mountainous operating conditions in Southern Yunnan are harsh, but this route was mainly downhill, which not only fully demonstrated the energy-saving strength of the AUMAN Galaxy 5M battery electric heavy truck, but also proved that this vehicle is high-quality transport capacity highly suited to local mountain green-channel transport.”

Electric Drive Architecture Deeply Adapted to Mountain Operating Conditions, Consolidating the Technical Foundation for Efficient Green-Channel Operations.

From the perspective of road conditions, the Southern Yunnan route has many steep mountain slopes and dense curves. Combined with the high-intensity operating conditions of full-load operation and frequent stop-and-go in green-channel transport, it places strict requirements on vehicle power stability. The AUMAN Galaxy 5M 466kWh battery electric heavy truck is equipped with an integrated flat-wire oil-cooled electric drive axle, featuring a shorter power transmission chain and higher efficiency. Paired with a high-efficiency motor, it has abundant power reserves and smooth output. When facing long mountain slopes and continuous undulating sections, the vehicle’s power output remains stable and sustained, unafraid of high-load operating pressure. With abundant power and stable operating conditions throughout, it can better adapt to the complex transport scenarios of mountain green-channel operations in Southern Yunnan.

In addition, the entire vehicle can achieve over 5% electricity savings per 100 kilometers. Under the operating conditions of frequent stop-and-go, repeated long slopes, and continuous speed changes in the mountains of Southern Yunnan, it always maintains a stable and excellent energy consumption level. The measured low energy consumption of 0.97kWh/km in this event is strong evidence of the vehicle’s efficient energy-saving performance. At the same time, relying on the 466kWh large-capacity power battery, the vehicle’s range can cover short-distance round-trip operating needs, ensuring that green-channel transport remains continuous and efficient throughout, with no need for mid-route recharging and no delay in timeliness, laying a solid foundation for long-term cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement in logistics operations.

In response to the road condition characteristics of this Southern Yunnan mountain area—dense sharp curves and undulating broken roads—the AUMAN Galaxy 5M 466kWh battery electric heavy truck places its battery flat at the bottom of the frame, greatly lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity. Combined with an excellent braking system, it ensures no floating or swinging during high-speed cornering and downhill driving, providing full stability. Moreover, it is equipped with a 3450mm dedicated short-wheelbase chassis architecture, offering excellent passage flexibility and scenario adaptability. It can calmly handle complex operating scenarios such as shuttling through narrow mountain roads and passing through continuous curves, avoiding traffic blockage and extra vehicle wear caused by road limitations, fully meeting the high-frequency turnover and efficient, uninterrupted operating needs of green-channel transport.

Across the journey, competing at the peak. This AUMAN Galaxy 5M battery electric tractor Southern Yunnan Green-Channel Ultimate Efficiency Energy Consumption Challenge is an important practice by FOTON AUMAN in deeply cultivating the segmented scenario of green-channel transport in the mountainous areas of Southwest China and tempering the scenario-based product strength of NEW ENERGY heavy trucks. Based on real roads, real cargo loads, and real operating data, the entire evaluation completed a comprehensive verification of the integrated product capabilities of the AUMAN Galaxy 5M 466kWh battery electric heavy truck for mountain green-channel operations. It will also provide solid transport capacity support for the green upgrading, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement of green-channel logistics in Southern Yunnan, continuously helping the logistics industry in Southwest China move toward a higher-quality stage of development.
