A partnership between two globally respected industry leaders is reshaping the landscape of Philippine logistics. FOTON Motor Philippines Inc. (FMPI), an ISO-certified, long-established force in commercial mobility, is set to turn over 45 state-of-the-art FOTON commercial vehicles to DHL Summit Solutions Inc. (DSSI) in a landmark collaboration built on sustainability, efficiency, and world-class operational excellence.
“For logistics, reliability isn’t optional—it’s the very core of success. After nearly 19 years in the Philippines, DSSI’s trust is a powerful endorsement of our dedication to delivering reliable, durable, and efficient commercial vehicles,” said Rommel Sytin, Chairman of FOTON Motor Philippines Inc. and UAAGI Auto Group.
This strategic alliance signals more than just a major fleet acquisition. It represents what FMPI General Manager Levy Santos calls “A Meeting of Global Minds”, a shared vision between FOTON and DSSI, the logistics partnership of DHL Supply Chain and JG Summit Holdings Inc., to push Philippine supply chain operations toward a cleaner, more efficient, and future-ready direction.
Driving the Green Transition with Next-Generation EV Technology
DSSI’s newly acquired fleet includes both light-duty and heavy-duty FOTON trucks, headlined by 23 units of the fully electric FOTON Tornado 3.6 EV. This significant investment underscores DSSI’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and championing sustainable logistics across the country.
These EV trucks will immediately be deployed to transport essential and high-volume commodities—proving the real-world strength, efficiency, and reliability of electric commercial vehicles in demanding logistics operations.
Global Recognition, Global Standards
For nearly two decades, FOTON Motor Philippines has been a proven pillar in the local logistics industry. As the first Chinese automotive brand to break into the Philippines’ Top 10 in vehicle sales—well before the arrival of other Chinese players—FOTON has long demonstrated its competitiveness and credibility.
Beyond the EV units, FMPI also handed over 22 units of the FOTON GTL 6×4 Tractor Head, further reinforcing DSSI’s capability to meet modern logistics demands with power and precision.
Partnering with DSSI reaffirms FOTON’s leadership in commercial vehicle technology—including its fast-advancing EV portfolio. With 13 consecutive years as China’s #1 commercial vehicle exporter and over 11 million units sold globally, FOTON stands as a world-recognized brand driving transportation progress in both developed and emerging markets.
