Qimingxing Platform Shines at Hannover IAA! AUMARK Z Unleashes New Value of High-end Pure Electric Light Truck

Ten years ago, FOTON Motor completed the global launch of AUMARK Super Light Truck in Hannover, Germany, demonstrating to the world the strength of China's high-end medium and light truck brand. It also opened the growth prologue of AUMARK Super Truck, won the trust of one million users worldwide, and set up a beacon for a new era of China's high-end light trucks.

Ten years later, on September 14, 2026, FOTON Motor once again stepped onto this global commercial vehicle stage with the Qimingxing pure electric light truck platform, showcasing its technological achievements in the field of dedicated pure electric light truck platforms. For AUMARK, the debut of the Qimingxing Platform opened the prelude to the global development of its high-end pure electric light truck, AUMARK Z.

The Qimingxing pure electric light truck platform is the world's first dedicated pure electric light truck platform, developed by FOTON Motor over 3 years with an investment of more than 1.7 billion yuan. Focusing on the operational needs of NEW ENERGY light truck users, the platform carries out forward development of the three-electric system, chassis, cab, and electrical and electronic system. AUMARK Z is exactly the intelligent-ecosystem high-end pure electric light truck built on the Qimingxing Platform. Centering on driving safety, driving and riding experience, and operational returns, it forms three major user values: "Smarter at a Higher End, Comfort Without Compromise, and Steady Win with Easy Earnings." From Qimingxing on the Hannover stage to AUMARK Z entering specific logistics scenarios, FOTON's pure electric light truck technology is accelerating its landing from a dedicated platform to product value.

Intelligent Driving and Smart Management Improve Human-Vehicle Collaboration Efficiency.

The value of commercial vehicle intelligence is ultimately reflected in every drive and every day of operation. Urban roads have dense traffic and complex loading/unloading environments, while intercity transportation requires drivers to maintain attention for long periods. These scenarios place higher demands on vehicles' environmental perception and driver assistance capabilities.

AUMARK Z is equipped with functions such as L2 combined driver assistance and 360° surround view, which can assist drivers during vehicle following, parking, and complex road driving, helping them grasp the surrounding conditions of the vehicle more promptly. Intelligent voice interaction reduces drivers' manual operation of in-vehicle functions while driving, making information acquisition and function control more convenient.

Relying on the new-generation electrical and electronic architecture of the Qimingxing Platform, AUMARK Z supports full-vehicle OTA upgrades. Vehicle functions can be continuously upgraded through software, so that the product still has room for updates and optimization after being put into operation.、。

Intelligence also extends from the cab to vehicle operations. Through the telematics system, logistics companies can view vehicle location, operating status, and energy consumption data, providing reference for vehicle dispatching, route planning, and energy consumption analysis. For enterprise users with multiple vehicles, timely knowledge of vehicle status helps reduce information delays and improve the overall operational efficiency of the fleet.

From driver assistance and intelligent interaction to fleet management, AUMARK Z integrates "Smarter at a Higher End" into the entire vehicle use process, making intelligent technology serve drivers as well as the daily operations of logistics companies.

Wide-body Cabin and Humanized Design Improve Driving and Riding Experience.

A light truck is both a transport tool and a space where drivers work for long hours. Urban distribution requires frequent getting in and out of the vehicle, while express delivery, cold chain, and intercity transportation involve longer driving times. Whether the cab space is spacious and whether movement inside the vehicle is convenient both affect a driver's working condition throughout the day.

Relying on the spatial layout of the native pure electric platform, AUMARK Z adopts a 2.12-meter wide-body cab and a flat floor design, providing drivers with more ample lateral space and in-cabin activity space. People can move more easily inside the cab, and daily getting in and out and resting during the journey are more relaxed.

The vehicle is equipped with about 270 liters of storage space, providing relatively orderly storage locations for onboard tools, daily necessities, and transport documents. Combined with a low step-in design, drivers can reduce physical exertion caused by repetitive movements in distribution scenarios that require frequent loading/unloading and getting in and out.

For logistics practitioners, comfort is reflected in the details of daily interaction with the vehicle. More convenient getting in and out, more ample cabin activity space, and easy storage of onboard items can all improve the work experience in high-frequency transportation. Taking drivers' actual usage needs as the starting point, AUMARK Z makes "Comfort Without Compromise" run through daily operations.

Efficient Three-Electric System and Fast Recharging Serve Long-Term Operational Returns.

The operational value of pure electric light trucks needs to be supported jointly by range, energy consumption, and recharging efficiency. Transportation scenarios such as urban distribution, express delivery, and cold chain, as well as corporate fleets, usually have clear transport routes and time requirements. Whether vehicles can complete tasks as planned and reduce charging waits directly affects daily operational efficiency.

For different operating radii, AUMARK Z offers multiple battery capacity versions from 100-165 kWh. Among them, the 165 kWh version has a CLTC range of up to 600 kilometers, covering urban distribution and extending to city cluster logistics and short- and medium-distance intercity transportation. Users can choose the corresponding battery capacity according to transport distance and recharging conditions, reducing route restrictions caused by insufficient battery capacity and avoiding a mismatch between configuration and actual operating conditions.

AUMARK Z is equipped with an oil-cooled flat-wire motor and SiC integrated electronic control, and the comprehensive efficiency of the powertrain reaches 95.7%, helping reduce energy loss during transmission. Facing different operating conditions such as frequent start-stop in urban distribution and continuous driving in intercity transportation, the efficient electric drive helps the vehicle maintain stable energy consumption performance.

Recharging efficiency also affects vehicle turnover. AUMARK Z supports 2C fast charging, and it takes about 18 minutes to replenish the battery from 20% to 80% (SOC). Drivers can arrange recharging in combination with loading/unloading, rest during the journey, or vehicle turnover, reducing the impact of charging waits on transport plans.

Long range expands transport scope, efficient electric drive controls daily energy consumption, and fast recharging compresses non-operating time. Working together, these three aspects help vehicles improve operational availability and route adaptability, and also support users in controlling lifecycle operating costs. "Steady Win with Easy Earnings" is thus implemented in how much can be driven each day, how long the wait is, and whether long-term costs can be effectively controlled.

The debut of the Qimingxing Platform in Hannover provides a global-market technical footnote for AUMARK Z's "Intelligence, Comfort, and Win," and also presents FOTON Motor's product layout in the native pure electric light truck field in a concentrated manner.

At present, FOTON Motor's products and services have covered more than 140 countries and regions worldwide, and it continues to advance the construction of overseas manufacturing, supply chains, parts, and service systems. As its European strategy is implemented, FOTON Motor will further improve its NEW ENERGY product layout around local regulations, transportation scenarios, and user needs, promoting coordinated development of R&D, products, and local operations.

Relying on FOTON Motor's global system, AUMARK Z under the Qimingxing Platform will also enter broader markets, continuously validating and iterating in different road conditions and logistics scenarios. For FOTON AUMARK, Hannover is an important stop connecting platform technology with global users. NEW ENERGY light truck products represented by AUMARK Z will also follow this path into more high-quality logistics scenarios, becoming an important force for FOTON Motor to deepen its global light commercial vehicle layout.
