BEIJING<\/span>, March 27, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — On March 26, Guangzhou Yuanfu Automotive Supply Chain Co., Ltd.<\/b>, a joint venture established by FOTON MOTOR<\/b> and COSCO SHIPPING<\/b>, was officially unveiled. At the same time, the ro-ro vessel was delivered, and the first large-scale export order of 600 FOTON pickup trucks<\/b> set sail for the South American market. This marks FOTON MOTOR’s official establishment of an independent and controllable global ocean shipping supply chain system<\/b>, accelerating its transformation from product export<\/b> to system-based global expansion<\/b>.<\/p>\n

As a brand that has ranked No.1 in overseas sales among Chinese commercial vehicle brands for 15 consecutive years<\/b>, FOTON MOTOR recorded 164,500 overseas vehicle sales in 2025<\/b>, with cumulative overseas sales exceeding 1.25 million units<\/b>. Its business now spans more than 140 countries and regions<\/b> worldwide. Against the backdrop of global trade volatility and the resulting uncertainties in freight rates and delivery schedules, the joint venture is positioned as a long-term strategic partnership built on shared interests<\/b>. By integrating COSCO SHIPPING’s global shipping resources with FOTON MOTOR’s export volume, the two parties will achieve complementary strengths and mutual benefits.<\/p>\n

By securing core shipping capacity, FOTON MOTOR will gain access to customized maritime logistics services<\/b> for complete vehicles and KD parts, creating three major advantages in delivery reliability, cost control, and strategic planning<\/b>, and further strengthening the supply chain foundation for its global development.<\/p>\n

Zhu Youfu<\/b>, Vice President of FOTON MOTOR, said that establishing the joint venture was an inevitable choice as the company’s overseas business reached its current scale. Zhang Chi<\/b>, Deputy General Manager of COSCO SHIPPING, noted that the cooperation would set a new benchmark for synergy between the automotive and shipping industries.<\/p>\n

This deep integration of the "automaker + shipping"<\/b> model not only provides strong support for FOTON MOTOR’s globalization strategy, but also offers a replicable and innovative model<\/b> for Chinese automotive companies expanding overseas.<\/p>\n
