GUADALAJARA, JAL.- With the exhibition of 19 vehicles at Expo Transporte ANPACT 2025 , and the presentation of the Galaxus tractor-trailer and the View Grand van , Foton Mexico reaffirmed its commitment to the country, basing its strategy on investment in new energies, innovation in design, and the strengthening of alliances
Francisco Chávez, CEO of Foton Mexico, highlighted the brand’s global strength, with 29 years of history and 11 million units sold. This strength translates into a manufacturing expansion plan with the upcoming opening of a plant in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, scheduled for January 2026.
This new facility will not only increase production capacity to 1,000 units per month, but will also focus on manufacturing “Made in Mexico” vehicles, including light electric and last-mile delivery vehicles, Chávez indicated.
Foton strengthened its presence with a strategic alliance with Motor Nation. This collaboration will add 26 dealerships to its network, reaching a total of 55 points of sale nationwide, and will initially focus on the marketing of pickups and vans .
At Expo Transporte , company executives presented the Galaxus tractor-trailer and the View Grand passenger van, both designed to optimize comfort, safety, and operational performance.
The Galaxus is presented as the brand’s spearhead in the heavy transport segment. Following its official global launch, this model arrives with the promise of redefining efficiency in long-distance transport, with a cutting-edge design focused on aerodynamics
The Galaxus’s performance is backed by its aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.348, which places this unit among the tractor-trailers offering the best aerodynamic coefficient on the market, translating into better fuel efficiency for the carrier, vital for fleet profitability. Foton’s confidence in the Galaxus is absolute, projecting that the model will position itself in the top 3 of the Mexican market within the next two years, highlighted Pablo Torrejón, Commercial Director of Foton Mexico.
In the passenger and light cargo segment, the View Grand was unveiled as a completely redesigned unit. This vehicle focuses on operator comfort and safety, along with range and “Made in Mexico” manufacturing quality
The unit will be offered with a diesel engine and, as a significant first in the segment, with the option of integrating an automatic transmission. This configuration aims to optimize the driving experience and operational performance.
With both units, Foton seeks to strengthen its presence in the Mexican market in the heavy-duty and passenger segments.
Resilient Market
In terms of sales results, the brand has remained resilient. Despite a market decline of approximately 30% in the tractor-trailer segment, Foton has managed to maintain double-digit growth. Specifically in the Heavy Duty segment , it reported cumulative growth of nearly 250%, Torrejón noted.
Finally, the brand’s strategy is based on robust after-sales support, emphasized Sergio Chavarría, After-Sales Director of Foton Mexico, who highlighted the importance of the roadside assistance provided by the company, which helps its customers “have the confidence that wherever they are, we will arrive with our technical team.”
With an 11,000 square meter (m²) spare parts warehouse in Querétaro and a 24/7 roadside assistance service year-round, complemented by a telemetry system for fleet management and preventive maintenance, Foton seeks to guarantee the profitability and confidence of its customers.
