Based in Beijing, Foton has nearly 40,000 employees in nine Chinese provinces. In 2010, the company sold more than 680,000 vehicles, maintaining a leading position among global commercial vehicle manufacturers.
For Foton, high quality and flexibility were critical selection criteria for choosing a trusted partner to help build their new electric motor development facility in Beijing. After an exhaustive search, Sierra CP Engineering, based in the UK, and EST, its Beijing-based partner, were selected to develop the project based on 30 years of global experience. Their ability to demonstrate both high quality and flexibility in the approach they proposed to building one of the most advanced test facilities of its kind in China, convinced Foton that they were the ideal partners for this project.
