II. Key Specifications

III. Foton Qimingxing Platform – Dedicated New Energy Architecture

The Foton 4.2m Electric Refrigerated Truck is built on Foton's Qimingxing dedicated new energy platform, a pure electric light truck architecture developed with over RMB 1.7 billion in investment. Unlike "fuel-to-electric" conversions, this purpose-built platform addresses the key pain points of electric logistics vehicles: range, interior space, and intelligence.

Native Electric Advantages

• Optimized Space: Dedicated chassis layout maximizes cabin space and cargo volume

• Higher Efficiency: Drive system efficiency reaches 95.7%, with energy consumption reduced by 6.5 kWh per 100 km compared to competitors

• Longer Range: Delivers a CLTC range of up to 607 km (with 165 kWh battery option)

• Ultra-Fast Charging: Standard 2C fast charging enables 20%–80% charge in just 18 minutes

• Extended Warranty: 8-year / 800,000 km warranty on the three-electric system

IV. High-Performance Polyurethane Insulated Cargo Box

The Foton 4.2m refrigerated truck features a cargo box constructed with polyurethane high-pressure foam injection technology, offering superior insulation, durability, and energy efficiency.

Polyurethane Insulation Advantages

• Superior Thermal Retention: Polyurethane foam has an ultra-low thermal conductivity of 0.018–0.023 W/(m·K), making it the most effective insulation material for refrigerated applications

• High Closed-Cell Rate: Over 95% closed-cell structure prevents moisture absorption, ensuring consistent insulation performance over the vehicle's service life

• Seamless Joint Design: High-pressure foam injection fills all gaps between panels, eliminating thermal bridges and preventing cold air leakage

• Structural Strength: Polyurethane panels with glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) skins provide excellent impact resistance and durability for daily loading/unloading operations

Cargo Box Construction

• High-Pressure Foam Injection: Polyurethane foam is injected under high pressure into the cavity between inner and outer FRP panels, completely filling all gaps and ensuring seamless insulation layer connection

• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: FRP inner and outer skins are non-absorbent, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion from frequent washing and disinfection

• Airtight Sealing: Labyrinth-type rubber door seals prevent temperature loss and maintain biosecurity for food products

V. Structural Advantages – Battery, Motor, Chassis & Refrigeration

Battery & Powertrain

• 120 kWh CATL LFP Battery: Industry-leading battery technology with high energy density, long cycle life, and excellent thermal stability. CATL is the world's largest EV battery manufacturer, ensuring quality and reliability.

• Zhide Electric Motor: High-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering strong low-end torque for stop-and-go urban delivery routes

• 2C Fast Charging: 20%–80% SOC charge in approximately 18 minutes – perfect for quick charging during loading/unloading breaks

Chassis & Cab

• 6.0T Vehicle Class: Robust chassis design with 2,120 mm wide cab for driver comfort

• First-In-Class 470mm Step Height: Industry-leading low step height for easy entry/exit

• 1.8m Interior Height: Ample headroom for driver movement within the cab

• 270L Storage Space: 16 storage compartments for organized tool and document storage

VI. Smart & Safety Features

The Foton 4.2m Electric Refrigerated Truck is equipped with advanced intelligent and safety systems:

• Self-Developed Domain Controller (FEP 2.0 Architecture): Advanced electronic control system for optimized power management and diagnostics

• L2-Level Driver Assistance: Supports Level 2 assisted driving features for enhanced safety

• Voice Control: Wake-up-free voice control for over 100 functions

• Heavy-Duty "Shield Body" Design: Uses high-strength steel for enhanced torsional rigidity and crash protection

• Corrosion Resistance: Over 40% of components are galvanized steel with multi-layer paint; frame and fasteners use special anti-corrosion processes for 7–10 years of rust protection

• Climbing & Snow Modes: Standard hill-climbing gear and rain/snow driving modes for various road conditions

VII. Applications – Electric Cold Chain Transport

This electric cold chain transport vehicle is specifically designed for:

• Fresh Food Distribution: Temperature-controlled transport of fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat products

• Pharmaceutical Cold Chain: Transport of vaccines, biologics, and temperature-sensitive medicines

• Frozen Product Logistics: Ice cream, frozen seafood, frozen prepared foods

• E-commerce Cold Chain: Last-mile delivery of temperature-sensitive online grocery orders

• Catering & Food Service: Supply chain for restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens

• Urban Logistics: City center delivery with zero-emission access to low-emission zones
