Foton CAVAN BEACON

Foton's CAVAN BEACON, shown in Europe for the first time in Hanover: the battery-electric 6x4 is claimed at over 600 km and 115 kWh per 100 km (105 for a 4x2), and charges from 20 to 80 % in 18 minutes at a megawatt charger of up to 1.44 MW. That energy figure is where a running-cost comparison with diesel starts, but Foton does not say at what load or speed it was measured, and the rest is missing: no battery size, no weights or payload, no price and no sales date for this truck in Europe. Foton says it already sells in nearly 20 European countries, with more than 300 service outlets, and plans local assembly by 2028. Every value can be corrected or completed by anyone.

Every figure below is what the maker, the press or a report published, with the source next to it. An empty row means nobody has published it yet. Know one we are missing? Type it into its row and press Review & send; you confirm with one e-mail and we check it before it goes on the page.

What you type reaches eTRUCKTCO as you type, without your name or e-mail address, so we can see what is missing or unclear. It appears on the page only after you have sent and confirmed it and we have checked it.

How it works, and what is shown of you

The values are what the maker, the press or a report published; the ↗ next to a value opens the page it was read from, and the grey line under a row says what to watch out for. An empty row means nobody has published it yet. When you send, you get an e-mail with a link. Once you click it, eTRUCKTCO checks the change; when it is approved it goes live, gets a version number, is listed in the history, and you get a short mail. Your name, your remarks and the sources you give appear there; your e-mail address never does, and is used only for that link and for eTRUCKTCO to ask about a value.
