FOTON eVIEW VAN Drives into Nepalese Schools

FOTON Motor has delivered 13 FOTON eVIEW vehicles to a well-known international school in Kathmandu, Nepal, in a single batch. This not only marks another in-depth exploration of FOTON Motor’s green mobility solutions in the Nepalese market, but also signifies that local students have welcomed a group of safe and green “new friends” on their way to school.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the global new energy vehicle (NEV) industry, the demand for electric commercial vehicles in Nepal has been growing continuously. The Nepalese government has been vigorously promoting the development of the electric vehicle (EV) industry, considering it an important measure to improve the energy structure and reduce air pollution. This has created a favorable market environment for Chinese automakers. As an important participant in the Chinese commercial vehicle brand, FOTON Motor has won widespread recognition in the Nepalese market in recent years, thanks to its superior product performance and localized services, and has become an active brand in Nepal’s imported EV market.

The FOTON eVIEW delivered this time features an exterior design that combines fashion and dynamism, with a modern and stylish overall appearance. The vehicle is equipped with a 53.58 kWh CATL LFP battery pack, which can achieve a range of up to 300 kilometers under the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) standard, fully meeting the daily commuting and school bus operation needs in Nepal’s urban and surrounding areas. The vehicle has strong power, with a maximum power output of 130 kW and a peak torque of 330 Nm, and it also has a 25% gradient climbing ability, making it capable of easily handling the diverse mountainous terrain in Nepal. It is an electric VAN that combines high performance and long-range advantages in the Nepalese market.

For student vehicles, safety design is the core. The FOTON eVIEW is equipped with advanced features such as automatic hold control, intelligent parking assistance, and hill-start assist, and it uses durable R16 tires, creating a multi-faceted protective barrier for students and safeguarding their journey to and from school in multiple dimensions. The interior is fitted with ergonomic seats to create a comfortable driving and riding environment. The dual-loop dashboard clearly displays key driving information, and the combination of a reversing radar and a rearview camera further enhances driving safety, meeting the diverse needs of students and parents for school bus services.
