Foton Motor, as a leader in the field of commercial vehicles in China, has always regarded light passenger as the strategic core business of enterprise development. After 23 years of continuous exploration and accumulation, Foton Tuano has built the world’s strongest light passenger product lineup. Adhering to the simultaneous development of fuel and new energy, domestic and overseas markets have made simultaneous efforts, comprehensively covering various sub-sectors, providing customers with the best and most efficient multi-scenario passenger transportation and logistics solutions. In December 2023, Tuano’s large V was launched globally, and oil and electricity were synchronized, marking the national light passenger entering a new era.
Adhering to the "build a good car" big V came into being
Looking back at the history of China’s light passenger development, the first four generations of light passenger were all imitating foreign technology and introducing domestic cooperation, and the main use of the products was focused on freight transportation. Foton Tuano independently innovated and developed, relying on product characteristics such as comfort, economy, green and balance, to widely meet the needs of passenger transportation and diversified modification, leading a new generation of national light passengers to go abroad and participate in international competition. This is the first globally oriented and highly scalable fifth-generation light passenger platform built by Foton Motor with the most stringent European Union regulations and standards: Tuano Big V. It can simultaneously expand the multi-technology routes of fuel, pure electricity, oil mixing, plug-in mixing, and range extension, with multiple driving modes of front drive, rear drive, and four-wheel drive. It provides three basic models of van, multi-function vehicle, and passenger car, and can flexibly expand special modification varieties such as RV, tool service vehicle, medical ambulance, and public inspection vehicle.
Grade jump, the inevitable choice of upgrading
At present, the demand for light passenger usage scenarios has been upgraded, and light passenger is no longer a simple means of transportation, but is transforming into household and passenger use. "There are many small and medium-sized VAN products on the market, but when you drive them out, you always feel that the grade is not enough, and you want a car with inside and face." In customer research, you often hear such a voice "In the past, the old sea lion was very good at pulling people, and it was convenient to get on and off the bus. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to be sold now, and IVECO’s car is too high." More and more users are putting forward higher requirements for appearance, grade, etc. Tuyano accurately grasps user requests and conforms to the trend of market youth. Once the Tuyano Big V was released, it attracted enthusiastic attention.
The overall design style of the Big V is closer to the passenger MPV, with a simple front face and a "V-shaped" design language, making the vehicle more modern and more MPV-like. In addition, for the first time in the industry, the standard electronic power steering is equipped with low-speed labor-saving, high-speed and stable; standard electronic handbrake, parking starts more calmly. The Big V is not only light in driving control, but also more comfortable in riding. Passengers enjoy VIP independent space, and the leather all-inclusive seats are comfortable and breathable, and the grade is full.
MPV-class driving + extreme space, the king of performance in large VAN
With the improvement of the quality of life of contemporary people, the pursuit of vehicle comfort and handling is becoming more and more urgent. The Tuano Big V adopts a super chassis "comparable to MPV-level tuning settings", completely breaking the traditional perception of light passenger driving control. Compared with the traditional light passenger, it reduces the turn and roll by 18%, realizes easy emergency obstacle avoidance at high speed, and the mountain road driving is more stable; weakens the bumpy impact by 21%, and the speed bump is "flexible on the upper hurdle, and straightforward on the lower hurdle"; bid farewell to the status quo of the traditional light passenger "a set of chassis is used to the end", and combines the scene differences to professionally tune the passenger and cargo chassis.
For some individual owners, the traditional big VAN has problems of excess space and insufficient flexibility. The Tuano Big V perfectly meets the demands of users. In terms of space, it has a limit of 5490mm, a blue brand car length and a short shaft version of 4990mm, as well as three top heights of 1990/2195/2480mm, which meets the height limit of 99% community basements and supermarket basements. At the same time, it pursues the ultimate utilization rate in terms of width. Under the inner width of 1750mm, the outer width is controlled at 1980mm, and the inner space is protected, and the outer appearance is smart; the highest inner height in the high-top model industry meets the professional modification such as sojourn and ambulance, and the outer height does not exceed 2.5 meters, which meets the height limit requirements of most roads and bridges.
Foton Tuano not only wants to build a "good car", but also a good car that the common people can afford and use. In terms of energy consumption, the fuel car reaches an ultra-low fuel consumption of 7.0L for 100 kilometers, and the power consumption of pure electric power is only 17.7kWh for 100 kilometers. Not only is it comfortable to drive, has a large space, and is flexible to pass through, but also saves energy and is a good hand, which can be called "all-round big V".
Tuyano Big V, from customers, back to customers. Tuyano Big V will be officially listed in March. I believe that Tuyano Big V will lead national light customers into a new era and go global. (Source: Fukuda Tuyano)
