FOTON Gold Aumark Live Fresh Aquatic Products Transport Solution Launch Event Successfully Held, Solving Four Major Pain Points in Live Fresh Transport

　　On September 1, in Dalian at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the four-month summer fishing moratorium officially ended. Fishing boats weighed anchor and went out to sea, and the docks became lively again. For this city and the broader northern market, the opening of the fishing season is not only a fishing-season milestone, but also a collective expectation of "freshness"--after four months of fishing moratorium, the first catch of hairtail, Spanish mackerel, sea crab, and mantis shrimp returns to the dining table. What people are waiting for is exactly that long-awaited freshness.

　　"Freshness" has a time scale. The window for live fresh transport is extremely narrow: loading in the early morning, delivery must be completed before dawn; one step late, freshness drops a notch and the price falls. For transport practitioners, every day after the fishing season opens is peak season, and every trip is a race against time. Precisely for this reason, high timeliness, high reliability, and low loss have become the toughest demands of this market.

　　On September 17, the Gold Aumark Live Fresh Aquatic Products Transport Solution Launch Event, themed "Efficient and Reliable, One Step Ahead in Freshness," was successfully held in Dalian. Representatives from the live fresh transport and cold-chain logistics industries, end users, and partners from Dalian and surrounding areas gathered on site to experience Gold Aumark's efficient transport equipment up close and jointly discuss new directions for the high-quality development of live fresh logistics.

Based on the pain points of live fresh transport, Gold Aumark customizes a full-attendance transport solution.

　　Dalian is located on the Liaodong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and is a gateway port city for Northeast China's opening-up and a cold-chain logistics hub. Leveraging its port advantages, Dalian has built a logistics artery of sea-rail-road multimodal transport, with deep foundations in live fresh cold chain, urban distribution express, and port-adjacent industrial and trade transport. After the official opening of the fishing season on September 1, live fresh transport enters its busiest season of the year.

　　Compared with ordinary transport, live fresh transport has four major pain points: First, insufficient power reserve; under simultaneous equipment load, idle power is insufficient and fuel consumption is high, affecting operational efficiency. Second, severe salt spray corrosion; long-term seawater corrosion causes accelerated aging of components, resulting in high maintenance frequency and high costs. Third, high pressure on driving safety; water swaying causes the vehicle's center of gravity to shift, and heavy-load braking load is high. Fourth, extremely high operational uptime requirements; seafood is a high-timeliness, high-value commodity, so vehicle downtime immediately causes high live fresh cargo losses.

　　In response to the diverse and complex operating conditions of live fresh transport in Dalian, FOTON Aumark launched the Gold Aumark Live Fresh Aquatic Products Transport Solution. Gold Aumark is Aumark's flagship masterpiece built for high-end cold chain and efficient live fresh express scenarios. With efficient and reliable product strength, it helps truck users "take the lead in freshness" and safeguards the efficient operation of regional live fresh logistics.

Gold Aumark Flagship Leads the Way, Defining High-Value-Added Cargo Transport by Operational Value.

　　According to Li Songtao, Party Secretary and President of the FOTON Aumark Business Division, Gold Aumark inherits Aumark's consistent reliable foundation, is honed against a million-kilometer reliability standard, and carries forward Aumark's tough reputation of "one million kilometers without major overhaul." Among benchmark users of one million kilometers without major overhaul are live fresh transport practitioners; their solid operational reputation fully confirms Gold Aumark's excellent quality in high-timeliness, high-reliability, and high anti-corrosion scenarios.

　　Gold Aumark's premium nature lies not in power labels, but in operational value; not in stacking configurations, but in scenario fit; not in short-term hype, but in long-termism. It is comprehensively upgraded in power output, fuel economy, vehicle reliability, and temperature-control adaptability. It does not pile up ineffective configurations or pursue inflated brand premiums; everything returns to the essence of user operations, focuses on high-value cargo transport scenarios, ensures continuous vehicle uptime, reduces cargo damage risks, and helps truck users protect their income bottom line and amplify their wealth-creation ability.

　　To address the four major pain points of live fresh transport--insufficient power, salt spray corrosion, driving safety, and high-timeliness operations--Gold Aumark solves them one by one across four dimensions: power, safety, durability, and anti-corrosion. In terms of power, it is equipped with a new-generation Foton Cummins F2.5 engine with a maximum output of 185 horsepower, matched with a ZF transmission. It has ample power reserve and stronger idle load capacity, while also offering advantages such as seamless regeneration and good fuel adaptability. Fuel consumption performance is comprehensively improved, balancing power and fuel economy and ensuring high uptime. In terms of safety, it is equipped with the industry's largest 12.3-inch intelligent floating large screen, integrating voice interaction, 360-degree surround view, smartphone connectivity, and other functions; it comes standard with push-button start + keyless entry, and can be optionally equipped with AEBS automatic emergency braking, air suspension, and other configurations to cope with the braking pressure caused by water swaying, ensuring driving safety and cargo stability. In terms of durability, brake pads are widened by 60% and their service life is increased by more than 50%; the super clutch has a 200,000 km long life; long-life tires have wear resistance increased by 80% and require no tire replacement for 200,000 km; front and rear axle wheel ends are maintenance-free; the rear axle has a 100,000 km long oil change interval, greatly reducing whole-life-cycle use costs. In terms of anti-corrosion, the chassis adds a polyurea anti-corrosion process, with stone-chip resistance increased by more than 50%; galvanized sheet accounts for 58.2% of the body; combined with a door wax injection process, door anti-corrosion performance is improved by 50%, building a dual anti-corrosion barrier from chassis to body and effectively resisting seawater salt spray corrosion.

　　In addition to the Gold Aumark flagship product, FOTON Aumark also provides the F3.0 refrigerated version and two NEW ENERGY platforms, L4 and L5, the Jidian series, and other diversified product matrices, covering live fresh aquatic products transport needs across different mileages and operating scenarios. Quality and service empower each other, solidifying users' confidence for long-term operations.

　　At the launch event, the Gold Aumark display vehicle attracted many truck users to stop and experience it. Many truck users said, "When running live fresh seafood, timeliness is life. Gold Aumark is tough and has high uptime; everyone chooses it, and you can't go wrong." FOTON Aumark's nationwide service outlets and ample parts inventory make vehicle maintenance convenient and operations worry-free, providing solid support for live fresh transport in the race against time.

　　Looking ahead, FOTON Aumark will continue to deepen integrated vehicle and powertrain technological innovation, take Dalian as a northern strategic fulcrum, take root in port high-value-added cargo transport, aquatic product express, and urban-rural distribution tracks, adhere to the brand foundation of high reliability, high cost-performance, and whole-life-cycle value, join hands with partners, continue to lead in the national high-end light truck segment, and jointly write a new chapter in the high-quality development of China's urban distribution logistics.
