On November 13, a grand ceremony was held to mark the launch of the expansion project of Foton’s super factory in Changsha. Aiming to transition smoothly to the high-end energy-saving and new energy vehicle industry, the factory will specialize in developing and marketing super medium- and light-trucks in Changsha.

With a total investment of 1.5 billion RMB, the expansion project consists of the construction of digitalized production lines with higher intelligence and higher environmental friendliness.

It will also generate over 5,000 jobs and boost the upper and lower stream of the auto industry in Changsha.
