But bucking the trend in launching fully electric crossovers and SUVs, Foton is blazing a new trail by launching the first locally available pure electric version of a vehicle that's even closer to the heart of the Filipino-the passenger van.
It is all part of the brand's exhibit for this year's PIMS, which has a theme of "Dare. Drive.
The Future Redefined." Foton is an official mobility partner for this year's PIMS.
"We are excited to once again showcase at this year's Philippine International Motor Show the world-class design, quality, and technology that Foton has to offer, particularly our new fully electric and hybrid models that span a wide range of automotive segments," said Foton Motor Philippines General Manager Levy Santos.
THE NEW FOTON TRAVELLER SIERRA EV
Foton's new electric passenger van is called the Traveller Sierra EV, and it's poised to electrify the van segment by being the first-ever fully electric passenger van in the Philippines. The launch is consistent with the brand's model electrification, after launching the country's firstever fully electric light-duty truck in the Foton Tornado EV and the first fully electric pickup in the Foton Thunder EV within the last 12 months.
The Traveller Sierra EV has a driving range of 303 kilometers, thanks to its generous 77.28 kWh battery capacity. It has a strong power output of 181 hp and 330 Newton-meters of torque, giving it responsive acceleration and a top speed of 120 km/h. It also has a DC fast-charging capability of 1 hour and 7 hours on a regular AC outlet.
It boasts a 5-year/200,000-km warranty for its electric system.
