Foton Motor Philippines Inc. (FMPI), one of the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers and distributors, is celebrating 18 years in the country. Established in 2006, Foton has become a vital part of the transport and logistics industries in the Philippines.
Over the past 18 years, the brand has grown under United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI), showcasing its commitment to providing high-quality transport solutions. Foton has expanded its range from commercial vehicles to passenger and lifestyle vehicles, including a diverse lineup of electric vehicles (EVs), solidifying its position as a leader in the Philippine automotive market.
Further underscoring its adherence to international standards is FMPI’s ISO Certification (2019). The company received the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems certification, showcasing its commitment to product and manufacturing quality as well as operational excellence. FMPI has also been recertified for its consistent ISO 9001:2015 compliance in 2024.
FOTON’s parts warehouse ensures reliable after-sales support with genuine parts and efficient service.
FOTON Motor Philippines is also a significant contributor in terms of employment and investments. FOTON’s assembly plant in the Clark Freeport Zone has a significant investment of P1.2 billion. The facility is capable of producing 12,000 vehicles annually, providing jobs to more than 700 Filipinos employed in the plant, not counting those employed by the plant’s primary and secondary suppliers.
Over the course of 18 years, FOTON has significantly expanded its dealership network across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, enhancing its accessibility and customer service capabilities currently with 26 dealerships, with plans to open more dealerships in 2025.
In-house developed programs like EC Genuine Parts and EC Mobile Service Truck, which have enhanced customer experience and support, reinforce Foton’s commitment to service excellence and customer satisfaction.
FOTON has received various accolades over the years, including awards for product quality and sales achievements, which have bolstered its reputation in the FOTON Global network and in the automotive industry.
Just last month, FMPI received the most number of awards in the sales, product and after-sales categories from the FOTON Asia Pacific Conference, besting other distributors from the region.
