Foton Aumark 1129 Isothermal van

The Foton 1129 isothermal van is used for transporting various cargoes, including those that are temperature dependent. Thermal insulation materials are installed between the inner and outer walls of the van, which ensure that the same temperature level is maintained for a long time, regardless of the weather outside. Therefore, this truck is used to transport food. It is also used for transporting building materials, furniture, equipment, etc.

Photon 1129 is produced by the Chinese auto industry. The Chinese manufacturer has not produced low-quality transport equipment for a long time. This model was no exception - the car turned out to be reliable, durable and technically advanced. The van can transport goods with a total weight of up to 8 tons. With such a carrying capacity, the truck has fairly modest fuel consumption. The 166-horsepower engine consumes diesel fuel. The motor has a long service life and is easy to maintain. Also, the engine is not demanding on the quality of diesel fuel - the car can be refueled at any gas station.

Other advantages of the Foton 1129 isothermal van include good handling. This is thanks to the power steering, pneumatic braking system with ABS and effective dependent suspension. For the comfort of the driver and passengers (of which the cabin can fit two), options such as air conditioning, cruise control, audio system, electric windows, heated rear-view mirrors, front fog lights and central locking are responsible. The car interior is quite roomy and ergonomic. High-quality plastic is used in the finishing. The cabin noise insulation is of a high standard. Thanks to the large windshield and side windows, excellent visibility of the road is provided.

Foton 1129 - repair and maintenance

Foton 1129 is an updated version of the still popular Foton Aumark model. As a result of modernization, the interior and cabin were changed, but the functional part remained the same. Therefore, the owners of this car will be able to enjoy all the advantages of the previous line. In addition, if possible breakdowns occur, you can easily find suitable spare parts. In our service center you can repair your Foton 1129 car, restoring damaged parts or replacing them with new ones.

As an official dealer of Foton, we supply only original spare parts at manufacturer prices. You can use the following types of repair of Foton 1129 trucks:

• 1) Body repair involves restoring the paintwork of body elements, leveling the surface, restoring the integrity of damaged areas, priming and putty, painting.

A 12-ton Foton EST M 1221 truck appeared in Russia

The new Foton EST M 1221 is manufactured in China in collaboration with Daimler at the Foton Motor plant in Zhucheng, Shandong Province, using components created by world leaders in the automotive industry.

Compared to the Foton Aumark C1217, which entered the Russian market in 2022, the new EST M 1221, with a comparable technically permissible maximum vehicle weight, has a wider cabin and engine. If the Aumark C1217 is equipped with a Cummins ISF3.8s5168 with a volume of 3.8 liters and a power of 166 hp. With. with a torque of 600 Nm, the new truck is equipped with a Cummins ISF4.5S5210 unit with a power of 210 hp. With. Its volume is 4.5 liters, which is significantly less than market analogues, which are equipped with 7.7 and 7.8 liter engines that consume more fuel. At the same time, the Cummins ISF4.5S5210 produces a torque of 760 Nm, which is comparable to the characteristics of competitors.

“The developers of the new Foton EST M 1221 were tasked with minimizing fuel consumption in terms of ton-kilometers of transported cargo. Thanks to the competent selection of gear ratios of the main drive and gearbox (the car is equipped with a ZF6J1000 gearbox, which is designed for a torque of up to 1000 Nm), the performance characteristics of the power unit are not inferior to market analogues. At the same time, a reduction in the cost of car ownership is achieved due to a decrease in fuel consumption, which is reduced by up to 5% in comparison with competitors. In accordance with the technical documentation of the manufacturer, the estimated fuel consumption of the Foton EST M 1221 at a speed of 80 km/h will be 16.1 liters per 100 km, which is the best indicator in the segment,” said the head of the marketing department of Foton Motor LLC » Svetlana Kuptashkina.

When developing the new model, much attention was also paid to reducing the weight of the vehicle to increase its carrying capacity. Thus, the Cummins ISF4.5S5210 engine is 30% (that is, approximately 330 kg) lighter than similar 4-cylinder units, and the 6-speed gearbox has an aluminum housing and weighs only 141 kg.

“Foton EST M 1221 is designed to solve complex logistics problems. Reliability, chassis versatility and, of course, low cost of ownership are important for this. We expect that the new model with a manufactured goods or insulated van will be in demand among companies engaged in short- and medium-haul transportation for the prompt supply of goods to retail outlets in large and medium-sized cities. The possibility of equipping the chassis with onboard platforms with a crane-manipulator will allow the vehicle to be used in construction and transportation of oversized cargo. In addition, we see significant potential for the installation of tow trucks and various special superstructures, such as aerial platforms, fuel tankers, drilling rigs, tank trucks and others,” says Svetlana Kuptashkina.

Foton pays great attention to the safe operation of the vehicle. The cabin of the Foton EST M 1221 is made of high-strength steel and can withstand loads of up to 7.5 tons. The frame design allows for the highest level of safety in the event of a collision.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEBS) systems help the driver prevent accidents. WABCO disc brakes meet the highest safety standards. The volume of the brake system receiver is 90 liters. with a working pressure of 8.5 atmospheres, which increases braking efficiency.

The Foton brand has been represented in Russia for more than 10 years. During this time, light and medium-duty vehicles formed the basis of the model range.

“The segment of trucks with a gross weight of 12 tons is not the largest in the Russian market. Sales there amount to 1.5 - 2 thousand new cars per year. Our primary goal is to increase our share in this segment to 10%, and within two years reach sales of about 150 - 200 trucks per year. In addition, with the advent of Foton EST M 1221, the structure of our model range has become more balanced,” said Svetlana Kuptashkina.

The optimal choice for commercial logistics

The manufacturing company introduced (more than 10 years ago) the Ollin and Auman models of light trucks, which were sold in more than 10 thousand vehicles. All products are certified. Nowadays there are many cars with add-ons on offer: vans (including cars with individual dimensions), flatbed tow trucks, cranes, cars with manipulators. There are truck tractors, including long-haul ones (for example, Auman EST, with Mercedes axles, “truck 2016” of China).

In addition to the price, they are attracted by the reviews of the owners, as well as the characteristics listed in the list:

• quality (ISO 9001 standards, VDA 6.0 system control, Germany);
• reliability, efficiency of the Perkins diesel engine under a British license;
• maintainability, simplicity and ease of access to components, mechanisms (installed platform, manipulator, etc.);
• modern design solution;
• turnkey sales format (with pre-installed tail lift, van, manipulator, etc.);
• various expansion options (alarm system, refrigerator compartment, various vans, anti-corrosion special coating, etc.);
• representative model range (in terms of urban maneuverability, load capacity, cabin comfort, engine, gearbox, etc.);
• safety and controllability at speed (for example, low-bed versions are good for regional cargo transportation in all weather situations);
• comfortable interior (there are often “sleeping bags”);
• developed after-sales service, manufacturer's warranty (2 years, 100 thousand km - optional);
• quick payback, minimum costs.

By visiting the official website and familiarizing yourself with detailed information (including photos, videos, tips on the forum), you can be convinced that, for example, small 1.5-ton cars compete successfully with Gazelles, having slightly better driving performance, and medium-sized three- to five-ton cars correspond to the domestic "Bull".
