Foton has established itself as a major player in the electric commercial vehicle market, specifically with its iBlue and Aumark series. These trucks are designed to tackle the "last-mile" urban delivery challenge while maintaining the strict temperature controls required for the cold chain.

Precision Cooling: The refrigeration units (often sourced from brands like Thermo King or Hanya) support a temperature range from -20°C to 20°C. They are powered directly by the vehicle's high-voltage battery via an Electric Power Take-Off (ePTO), meaning the fridge stays cold even when the engine isn't "idling."
Advanced Insulation: Boxes are typically constructed with 80mm thick polyurethane and glass-fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) to ensure minimal thermal loss.
Charging Capability: Most 2026 models feature DC Fast Charging, allowing for a 20% to 80% charge in approximately 30 to 45 minutes
Efficiency: The newer Daystar platform uses silicon carbide controllers and oil-cooled motors, which Foton claims improves energy efficiency by roughly 20% compared to earlier generations.

Foton refrigerated trucks equipped with Thermo King refrigeration units are used in a variety of industries that require maintaining a cold chain for temperature-sensitive cargo.

The primary applications include:

• Frozen Foods: Ice cream, frozen meat (beef, pork, poultry), frozen fish, and seafood. These often require freezer temperatures, which the units are capable of maintaining (e.g., down to −18 ∘ C or lower).
• Fresh Produce: Fruits and vegetables that need refrigeration to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
• Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter.
• Baked Goods & Confectionery: Products like chocolates or other temperature-sensitive items.
• Prepared Meals/Catering Supplies.

• Vaccines and Medicines: Many pharmaceutical products, especially biologicals and vaccines, require strict temperature control, typically in a chilled range (e.g., 2 ∘ C to 8 ∘ C) to maintain efficacy.
• Biochemicals and Laboratory Samples.

• Chemicals and Cosmetics: Certain industrial chemicals or beauty products that must be kept from freezing or overheating.
• Flowers and Plants: Cut flowers and live plants require controlled temperature and humidity to ensure they arrive fresh.
