In May, Foton heavy trucks continued to lead the market with sales of nearly 12,000 units and a year-on-year increase of 73.4%, serving as a recovery engine in the market and demonstrating the anti-cyclical capability of leading enterprises. Behind this growth lies deep insight into user needs and continuous innovation. As a value benchmark for luxury heavy trucks in trunk transportation, Foton Auman Galaxy 7 is a vivid practice of this concept: with the excellent energy efficiency of the super power chain, the comfortable experience of the starry cockpit, and the intelligent safety of the Galaxy wisdom architecture, it precisely meets the quality, efficiency, and value-oriented operation needs of the logistics industry, becoming the core help for users to reduce costs and increase efficiency. This product logic of “user-centered” not only drives Foton Motor to lead in the competition but also leads the heavy truck industry to upgrade towards value.
Super Power Chain 5.0 Redefines the Energy Efficiency Standard for Trunk Transportation
In the highly competitive heavy truck market, the breakthrough of Foton Auman Galaxy 7 is by no means accidental, but the inevitable result of Foton Motor integrating “user thinking” into the entire chain of product research and development. Equipped with the super power chain 5.0 and matched with the exclusive Foton Cummins fuel/gas engine, multiple innovative technologies have achieved dual breakthroughs in power and economy: not only improving the transient response capability by 10%, but also achieving a 6% reduction in fuel/gas consumption to meet the needs of users for efficient operation and profitable; the power reserves of the 680-horsepower fuel version and the 630-horsepower gas version, matched with 8 different shift strategy modes, are sufficient to meet the needs of complex and diverse transportation scenarios such as continuous climbing on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the northwest Gobi; and the industry-leading level of 99.7% transmission efficiency, combined with a 5-kilometer ultra-far predictive driving system, coordinates the planning of vehicle speed, gear, braking, and thermal management, etc., reducing the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle by 2-3% compared with similar products.
Foton Auman Galaxy 7 gas vehicles are based on the underlying data of Foton Cummins and Auman for 40,000 hours and 32 million kilometers. Through in-depth research on people, vehicles, goods, fields, etc., the integrated calibration experiment of “working conditions + scenarios” has been completed, which not only has more comprehensive scenario adaptability but also can still operate stably at low temperatures to ensure the transportation efficiency and benefits of users. In actual operation, the value of Auman Galaxy 7 has been fully verified. The measured data of Master Ma, a logistics user in Ningxia, shows that driving the Foton Auman Galaxy 7 gas version round trip from Gansu to Guangzhou can save more than 80,000 yuan in annual costs compared with traditional fuel vehicles, truly realizing the user expectation of “strong power and more energy-saving”.
Starry Cockpit Makes the Cab a Mobile Quality Living Space
Facing the actual needs of long-distance drivers “taking the car as their home”, Foton Auman Galaxy 7 has built the cab into a “mobile quality living space”. The 1150mm ultra-wide lower berth is matched with the upper berth folding design, taking into account both sleeping comfort and standing space; the seat curve with 117 design indicators fits the Chinese body shape, and the configurations such as ventilation, heating, and massage effectively relieve lumbar fatigue, with the support increased by 20%, effectively reducing the fatigue caused by long-distance driving and bringing the enjoyment of home life to every driver. Intelligent configurations also hit the pain points of users: 55W wireless fast charging, 80% charging within half an hour; 951.3L super-large storage space, equivalent to 35 30-liter suitcases, easily accommodating the living needs of truck friends; the electronic shift lever design releases more cab passage space, allowing drivers to have a decent life scene during the journey.
Galaxy Wisdom Architecture Opens a New Era of Intelligent Safety for Heavy Trucks
In the field of intelligent safety, Foton Auman Galaxy 7 relies on the Galaxy wisdom architecture to build an all-time guardian system. The more powerful brain VCU at the same level integrates the control of 68 functional modules, which can realize the millisecond-level decision-making of 26 intelligent control functions and 12 fuel-saving strategies, and customize the exclusive control logic for 48 segmented scenarios such as express delivery, cold chain, and dangerous goods transportation, so that the operation efficiency under different working conditions can be efficiently balanced. At the safety level, the “Galaxy Sentry” system real-time monitors the fuel and battery status, and automatically triggers alarm recording for abnormal intrusion; through the intelligent electric integration modular braking control technology, the braking distance is shortened by a safety margin of 9.7 meters; the blessing of ACC+LCC assisted driving function and intelligent safety AEB system further improves driving convenience and transportation safety. This intelligent safety system allows users to drive more safely in complex road conditions and also reduces accident risks and maintenance costs for logistics enterprises.
As the logistics industry accelerates its upgrading towards greenization and intelligence, China’s heavy truck industry is facing a deep reconstruction of the global competition pattern. The “user-oriented” innovation model represented by Foton Auman Galaxy 7 is becoming the core driving force for Chinese heavy truck brands to participate in global competition. Only by transforming every need and every pain point of users into the starting point of technological innovation can we cultivate the “value root system” that resists the cold in the market cold winter. Foton Auman’s positive cycle of “technological innovation-user benefit-word-of-mouth feedback” is reshaping industry cognition: when technological innovation accurately anchors the user’s operation scenario, it can achieve efficient transformation from technical value to economic benefit; when user benefits form a benign word-of-mouth transmission, it can open up incremental space in the stock competition. The success of Foton Auman Galaxy 7 is essentially the transformation of the concept of “user-centered” into a value chain that can be landed – from scenario insight to technology empowerment, from benefit realization to brand recognition, and building a differentiated value system. On this user-centered track, Foton Motor has already shown a leading attitude, and the value logic behind it may open a new growth momentum for the entire commercial vehicle industry.
