Asia’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer (and known primarily for its diesel powerplants), Foton will be bringing in BEV versions of its Transvan, Harabas, as well as the next-generation Tornado. This is after Foton Motor Philippines made the distinction of being the first one to offer an all-electric truck early this year.

Confirmed by Foton Motor Philippines (FMPI) General Manager Levy Santos before his trip to China, we finally have our first look at the all-electric Harabas (aka Wonder in China).

The Wonder is Foton’s all-new generation mini truck that’s catered to last-mile logistics as well as possible customization by private owners. With that, it’s got a fashionable design and smart cabin for driver comfort and convenience. The e-Wonder (aka e-Harabas?) is capable of a 48-minute charging time and a range of 280 kilometers.

Also shown is Foton’s new-generation Aumark (aka Tornado) light-duty truck. It uses a highly modular platform that can accommodate both combustion engine and EV powertrains. It is produced at the brand’s “Super Truck Plant” that adopts a polyurea spraying process, which improves rust and corrosion prevention by 50 percent. It also meets the highest safety collision standard of ECE-R29.

Both the e-Wonder and the all-new e-Aumark use batteries from CATL, a global leader in lithium-ion batteries.

Meanwhile, the electric version of the Transvan will likely be based off the eView van (above) which is already available in certain markets. The single-motor, single gear eView packs a 115 horsepower (85 kW) and 290 Nm electric motor allowing it to climb up grades up to 20 percent at 5 km/h. Its 50.23-kWh CATL battery pack offers a range of up to 280 kilometers on a single charge.

Santos has confirmed that EV versions of the Transvan, Harabas (and likely the next-generation Tornado EV) will make their Philippine debut at the Foton Big Show slated sometime in 2024.
