Foton Motor Philippines Inc. (FMPI) recently strengthened its partnership with its latest collaboration with a highly respected logistics company.

This comes after FMPI, an ISO-certified and one of the most established commercial vehicle brands in the country, handed over 45 Foton commercial vehicles to DHL Summit Solutions Inc. (DSSI) in a partnership focused on driving sustainability, high-efficiency logistics, and world-class operational excellence in the Philippine logistics sector.

“In logistics, reliability is not a luxury; it is the foundation. Foton Motor Philippines has been in the country for almost 19 years, and DSSI’s confidence is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to providing reliable, durable, and efficient commercial vehicles to the Philippine market,” said Rommel Sytin, Foton Motor Philippines Inc. & UAAGI Auto Group Chairman.

DSSI has acquired a fleet comprising both Foton light-duty (LDT) and heavy-duty (HDT) trucks. The light-duty trucks are full Electric Vehicle (EV) models (23 units of Foton Tornado 3.6 EV), marking a significant stride in DSSI's commitment to establishing a sustainable logistics and carbon footprint reduction.

The EV trucks will be utilized to transport essential and basic commodities, demonstrating the viability and reliability of electric commercial vehicles for high-volume, real-world logistics.

“This is no less than a collaborative alignment between Foton and DSSI, a leading logistics venture between DHL Supply Chain and JG Summit Holdings Inc., in a unified aim to create a reliable, more sustainable, and efficient future for supply chain operations,” said Levy Santos, General Manager of FMPI.
