New Energy vehicles are the way of the future, and we are excited to be able to offer alternative transport solutions to our clients”.
Foton’s Jeff Morgan said, “With many more fleets now recognising the need to accelerate their transition to zero emissions, and with FMD’s ability to deliver product “at scale”, it is expected that there will be many more Foton EV Trucks on the road in 2023, necessitating the continued expansion of the Dealer and Service network”.
