BAIC FOTON Successfully Holds Pre-operation Launch Ceremony for Pure Electric Buses in Southeast Asi
Recently, BAIC FOTON held a pre-operation launch ceremony for pure electric buses in Southeast Asia. Representatives from the local transport authority, energy companies and public transport operators, together with local media and BAIC FOTON representatives, attended the event and witnessed an important milestone in the electrification of public transport in the region.
The vehicles launched at this ceremony are FOTON BJ6129 pure electric buses. Designed for the high-frequency and long-duration operating scenarios of urban public transport, the vehicle’s three-electric system has been developed in accordance with international durability standards, meeting long-cycle and high-intensity operational requirements while reducing whole-life maintenance costs. In terms of safety configuration, the vehicle integrates intelligent assistance systems such as 360-degree surround-view blind-spot monitoring, driver fatigue warning and automatic emergency braking. It also adopts high-level battery protection and a high-strength steel load-bearing body structure, providing active safety protection for high-frequency risk scenarios such as urban intersections and densely populated road sections. The low-floor accessibility design and quiet pure electric ride quality further meet the people-oriented mobility needs of public transport.
At the ceremony, guests learned in detail about the vehicle’s technical features, operational support and delivery progress, and expressed expectations for subsequent large-scale operation. BAIC FOTON successfully won the bid for a batch order of 12-meter pure electric buses in the region, and the vehicles are currently being delivered successively. This deployment marks the first introduction of a large batch of pure electric buses in the regional market and is of milestone significance for the green transformation of local public transport.
BAIC FOTON stated that Southeast Asia is one of the company’s key overseas markets. The batch delivery and operation launch of pure electric buses reflect local customers’ recognition of FOTON’s product quality, electrification technology and full-cycle service capabilities. The company will continue to work with local partners to ensure vehicle delivery, operational support and after-sales service, and to support the low-carbon development of public transport in the region.
BAIC FOTON will take this launch ceremony as a new starting point, continue to deepen its presence in the Southeast Asian regional market, promote the implementation of more green transport solutions, and support the electrification and intelligent upgrading of local public transport.
