Zhou Liang, president of Foton Daimler, introduces smart manufacturing
Daimler is the biggest globally- active manufacturer of trucks and a technology leader. Daimler also aspires to be the world’s number one supplier, creating superior value for its customers while being a model of quality and profitability to its shareholders. Daimler has the longest history as market leader in high-end medium-duty and heavy-duty truck markets. Daimler and Foton’s cooperation is complementary to both parties, as it’s beneficial for both parties to develop international markets together and achieve a win-win strategy. Furthermore, Daimler benefits by expansion into emerging markets through Foton’s advantages in low cost commercial vehicle products and internal cost controls. Additionally, Foton Daimler’s efforts in managing the “Auman” brand have surpassed the traditional Sino-foreign joint venture model – whereby a Chinese company simply brings in foreign vehicle models and produces OEM for the joint venture – to setting a precedent by jointly cooperating to develop new vehicle models.
