Philippines Gets Its First Electric Light Truck From Chinese Truckmaker Foton

, the proliferation of repurposed or re-engineered trucks pose a big issue on emissions, and road safety. Many of these trucks, coming from Japan, are converted from right-hand drive to left-hand drive, and usually have a diesel engine that has not been completely emissions tested.The Foton Tornado EV 4×2 utilizes a permanent magnet synchronous motor with peak outputs of 154 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque.

“Foton Motor Philippines has always strived to be at the forefront of mobility solutions. We were the first Chinese automotive brand to break into the Top 10 in the Philippine market — way before other Chinese brands even entered the country. And now, we’ve rolled out yet another game-changer in the Foton Tornado EV,” Santos added.
