Salute to every perseverance
The commercial vehicle industry is an important pillar industry of the mainland's national economy, and it is also the vane of the rise and fall of the mainland's logistics industry. According to statistics, on the mainland, more than 40 billion tons of goods are transported by road every year, and they need to turn around 7,395 billion ton-kilometers. This set of data means that on average, about 28.6 tonnes of cargo are transported and received by truck drivers per year.
When we are accustomed to receiving express delivery for next-day delivery, tasting fresh fruits from across regions, and enjoying the convenience of refueling...... Behind this is the hard work of 17.28 million truck drivers, day and night. They are active at the forefront of the transport torrent, maintaining the country's economic bloodline, but they are unknown and scattered in unknown corners, folded in long journeys and wheelhouses. They still choose to love and stick to it under such a large labor intensity, which in itself is worthy of respect.
Foton Motor: Salute every perseverance
"It is the meaning of Foton Motor's existence to let truck drivers enjoy the best products and services, alleviate their labor intensity, and provide a comfortable car environment, as well as the responsibility and mission of the main engine factory." Liu Xuguang, spokesman of Foton Motor, called on the industry and the public to pay attention to their every contribution and pay tribute to every perseverance.
Make new contributions to the healthy development of the industry in the new era
However, since January 2024, there have been some disinformation and malicious attacks on the Internet, ranging from slander of "emission fraud", to fabricating "product quality problems", to spreading rumors of "excessive gas consumption......
