BEIJING, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by the global low-carbon wave, Europe, with stringent access rules and well-developed logistics, has become a vital testing ground for new-energy commercial vehicles worldwide. Guided by its internationalization strategy, FOTON has gone beyond simple single-product exports, delivering comprehensive localized solutions covering products, technology, supply chain and after-sales services.
