AutoExec Summary
Inchcape has become the Australian distributor for Foton EV and ICE utes, vans, and trucks, with plans to focus on growing the presence of Foton’s light-duty trucks and re-launch the brand’s new generation (EV) utes in the Australian market. This partnership will leverage the strengths of both parties, with Foton’s commercial vehicle manufacturing expertise and Inchcape’s distribution experience and advanced digital capabilities. Foton Mobility Distribution, the current distributor for Foton products, has a binding distribution agreement with Foton International and remains committed to distributing Foton EV light and medium-duty trucks and buses in Australia. Foton has been leading the Australian EV truck sales charts and is confident in its continued success in the market. Inchcape’s addition of the Foton distributorship will enable the company to diversify its local distribution portfolio and further strengthen its presence in the light commercial vehicle segment.
