On November 24, 2025, Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. (Foton Motor) secured carbon footprint quantification labels for its Xiangling Q and Xiangling V5 micro-truck models after rigorous review by China’s Automotive Industry Chain Carbon Disclosure Platform (CPP). With these additions, Foton now boasts eight certified models, spanning heavy-duty, light-duty, and micro-truck segments, solidifying its position as an industry leader in green commercial vehicle transformation.
**Micro-Truck Models with Certified Low Carbon Footprints** The CPP Platform, the world’s first digital hub for automotive carbon footprint disclosure, supports China’s auto industry in carbon data transparency. Foton’s latest certified models—Xiangling Q (fuel-powered) and Xiangling V5 (electric)—showcase cutting-edge green technologies.
- **Xiangling Q**: This fuel-efficient micro-truck integrates 39 patented technologies, including nine drag-reduction features like 7.1 low-rolling-resistance tires and streamlined cargo skirts. Its customized high-efficiency engine saves CNY 2,000 per 30,000 km, with a carbon footprint of 147.85g CO₂e/tkm, curb weight of 1,445kg, and fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km.
- **Xiangling V5**: The all-electric model features a high-strength steel frame (52% higher torsional rigidity) and optimized suspension for 11% greater load capacity. Its carbon footprint is just 109.22g CO₂e/tkm, with a curb weight of 2,200kg and energy consumption of 18kWh/100km.
**Leadership in Green Commercial Vehicles** Foton has consistently pioneered low-carbon commercial vehicle certification, earning China’s first batch of carbon footprint labels in November 2024. Its eight certified models now form a comprehensive green product matrix, advancing industry-wide carbon transparency.
**Holistic Carbon Reduction Strategy** Foton’s success stems from its "dual-carbon" commitment, embedding emissions reduction across R&D, technology, and supply chains. Key initiatives include: - **Diverse New Energy Portfolio**: Parallel development of pure electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and hybrid technologies. Its proprietary heavy-duty e-drive systems and 300kW hydrogen fuel cell engines (63% efficiency) set industry benchmarks. - **Lifecycle Carbon Management**: From raw materials to recycling, Foton’s "EPMES" project (encompassing energy efficiency, green manufacturing, and ecosystem partnerships) drives full-chain decarbonization.
By 2030, Foton aims for 50% of sales from new energy vehicles, reinforcing its vision to lead sustainable mobility. The expansion of its certified low-carbon lineup—from heavy trucks to micro-trucks—not only highlights Foton’s technical prowess but also offers a replicable blueprint for the industry’s green transition. As global demand for low-carbon transport grows, Foton plans to accelerate innovations in electrification and hydrogen energy, delivering smarter, cleaner solutions for a carbon-neutral future.
