Foton Loxa Delivers New Energy Concrete Mixers in China

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Foton Loxa delivered new energy concrete mixers equipped with a 350kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate battery to a major customer in Changsha, Hunan. The customer had previously purchased 27 Foton Loxa fuel concrete mixers in two batches between 2017 and 2019. This addition of new energy vehicles not only affirms the long-term operational performance of Foton Loxa products but also reflects the accelerated green upgrade of transportation capacity by commercial concrete enterprises in Hunan.

The major customer in Hunan primarily operates concrete transportation and infrastructure support services in Changsha and its surrounding areas. The two parties have collaborated for over a decade, with the customer purchasing 27 Foton Loxa fuel concrete mixers between 2017 and 2019. In actual operations, the integrated vehicle solution combining the Auman chassis with the Loxa upper structure demonstrated strong stability, convenient maintenance, and consistent availability, receiving positive feedback from the fleet. With the tightening of environmental protection standards in Changsha in recent years and the industry's dual-carbon transition requirements, the customer planned to electrify its fleet. After comparing the performance and operating costs of multiple brands, the customer once again chose Foton Loxa new energy concrete mixers to complete the green iteration of its transportation capacity. On-site, the customer stated that after over a decade of cooperation with Foton Loxa, the fuel vehicles have performed stably; the integrated design, energy consumption control, and fast-charging advantages of the new energy models are well-suited to Changsha's short-distance, multi-point transportation conditions, offering lower total lifecycle operating costs. Future fleet updates will continue to prioritize Foton Loxa products.

The delivered model is the Auman Star 350 integrated new energy concrete mixer, paired with a 350kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate power battery, capable of adapting to conventional transportation scenarios such as construction sites in Changsha's urban areas and some older streets. The vehicle adopts an electric drive solution, supporting dual-gun fast charging for higher charging efficiency; the lightweight design significantly reduces operating costs compared to traditional fuel vehicles. The body and frame use high-strength steel, and it is equipped with safety features such as a panoramic surround view and driver monitoring. Additionally, Foton Loxa relies on a nationwide warranty and local on-site service system to ensure stable fleet operations.

This delivery marks an important milestone for Foton Loxa in deepening its presence in the central China region. While deploying fuel and full-series new energy concrete mixers, the company has accumulated a large number of long-term repeat customers through integrated vehicle R&D, mainstream battery partnerships, and localized service systems. Currently, Changsha is continuously implementing favorable policies for new energy trucks, accelerating the pace of commercial concrete electrification. The Foton Loxa team stated that it will continue to engage with regional commercial concrete and supply chain enterprises, providing customized vehicle solutions, charging support recommendations, and full lifecycle maintenance as a one-stop service to expand its market share in the regional new energy concrete mixer segment.
