Four Innovations, Subverting Efficiency: Foton Cavan Letu Enhances Profitability
Facing the logistics industry with “continuously falling freight rates and declining profits”, Foton Cavan Letu uses four innovations of “Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division” to change operation methods, reduce sunk costs, and improve profitability.
- Addition in Space Experience: Foton Cavan Letu reshapes the driving and riding experience through “Addition”. With a low floor, wide cab, double sleeper design, upgraded configurations such as multi-directionally adjustable seats with airbag support, combined with voice interaction and AI dispatching, it enables cutting-edge technology to serve frontline operators, completely transforming the arduous operation methods themselves.
- Subtraction in Operational Economy: Foton Cavan Letu breaks the bottleneck through “Subtraction” to reduce costs throughout the life cycle. Relying on an intelligent management platform, it effectively reduces empty driving rates and management costs for customers. As a customized flagship light truck, Cavan Letu optimizes overall wind resistance by 10% in high-speed scenarios with exclusively customized wind resistance kits. In terms of high-speed energy consumption, it achieves an energy efficiency breakthrough of 6% higher efficiency in high-speed scenarios through a custom-developed exclusive low-loss electric drive axle and variable frequency-controlled SiC controller. Based on research on full-scenario customization of pure electric light trucks, Cavan Letu proposes dynamic energy optimization and adaptive mode adjustment based on vehicle weight estimation, further optimizing energy consumption in different scenarios. It achieves a low energy consumption of 36 kWh per 100 kilometers under high-speed full-load conditions, saving over 20% compared to the industry average. Meanwhile, this customized flagship light truck is equipped with three-warranty and maintenance policies, helping customers save 10,000 yuan in charging fees and over 6,000 yuan in maintenance expenses annually.
- Multiplication in Efficiency: Foton Cavan Letu enhances efficiency through “Multiplication”. By deeply integrating intelligent software and hardware, it builds an “Efficiency Multiplication System” to achieve dual improvements in power and range. The vehicle’s high-speed full-load range exceeds 450km, enabling it to cover over 90% of inter-city logistics and cross-city transportation in one trip without mid-way charging. Equipped with 2C ultra-fast charging technology, it can replenish energy for 300km in just 18 minutes when charging from 20% to 80% SOC, further expanding the delivery radius and fully unlocking the operational potential of truck drivers and logistics enterprises.
- Division in Exclusive Value: Foton Cavan Letu defines exclusive value through “Division” for segmented markets. It implements “one solution for one industry” to tailor high-quality, customized solutions for diverse scenarios such as cold chain, FMCG, commercial distribution, and dedicated-line transportation, helping customers reduce operational complexity and maximize the value of transportation capacity.
Customized Solutions, Cooperating with CATL: Foton Cavan Letu Creates Exclusive Value
Diverse logistics scenarios require more customized exclusive products. The newly launched Foton Cavan Letu takes “full-link customization” as its core, extending exclusive value to every link from core components to vehicle functions and ecological services, ensuring users achieve efficient and profitable operations in various scenarios. It conducts in-depth customization for diverse scenarios: enhancing power and braking for mountainous areas, ensuring range and comfort for cold regions, and providing exclusive versions for special industries such as cold chain and high humidity, truly realizing full-link customized matching from core three-electric (battery, motor, electronic control) systems to vehicle functions.
Regarding batteries – a key concern for users – Cavan Letu is equipped with exclusive batteries co-developed by Foton Cavan Automotive and CATL for customized flagship light trucks. These batteries “address” the safety of “driver, vehicle, cargo” and logistics transportation efficiency in the new energy commercial vehicle era from five dimensions: “high safety”, “slow attenuation”, “solid range”, “super fast charging”, and “high residual value for recycling”. With battery capacity ranging from 120kWh to 165kWh, they fully meet users’ expectations for high attendance, minimal range loss, large load capacity, and long driving distance. The cycle life of these exclusive batteries is up to 7,000 times – nearly double the industry average – meeting users’ operational needs throughout the life cycle. They also offer a lifetime warranty for the original owner, with a failure rate only 1/5 of the industry average, effectively ensuring users’ operational efficiency and safety while significantly enhancing user value.
Beyond the vehicle itself, Foton Cavan Automotive collaborates with ecological partners to create an integrated “vehicle efficiency + transportation efficiency” solution, covering the entire life cycle of customers’ vehicle purchase, usage, and resale. Through customized solutions and services, it solves problems at each stage and creates exclusive value for customers.
Customized flagship, efficiency revolution! Cavan Letu – the new pure electric light truck product based on Foton’s “Qimingxing” platform – is grandly launched, reshaping the value standards of light trucks with innovation and high efficiency. Looking to the future, Foton Cavan Automotive will fulfill its mission of “Making Every Kilometer Better” with technology and innovation. With the launch of this new light truck product, Foton Cavan Automotive officially initiates the “100³ Action Plan” – entering 100 cities, penetrating 100 industries, and joining hands with 100 benchmark enterprises. With customized flagships, it will trigger a logistics efficiency revolution, making every kilometer of the logistics journey better with Foton Cavan Automotive!
