The Foton Aumark S Series of light duty trucks is officially launched in Malaysia by Angka-Tan Motor Sdn Bhd (ATM). ATM is a subsidiary of Warisan TC Holdings and a member of the Tan Chong Group.
ATM is currently offering two models of the Aumark S i.e. BJ1078 and BJ1088. The trucks are built with European safety standards, designed and equipped with both active and passive safety features that have been tested in full compliance with ECE’s automotive safety regulations.
“Working with Foton, the global brands combined science and technology for the production of optimised powertrain system and vehicle integration, fuel-saving technologies for supporting environmental protection, and intelligently interconnected high-end commercial vehicles that are competent in leading the trend for efficient logistics. As a result, we are able to produce and introduce the all-new Aumark S series which has become a highly accepted light-duty super truck by markets globally,” said Wang Jianjun, Executive Vice President of Foton International Trade Co., Ltd. Beijing.
The engine is paired with a 6-speed ZF manual transmission to provide optimal power delivery with smooth shifting and high transmission efficiency. The lightweight aluminum alloy casing and optimised gear ratios also effectively reduce fuel consumption, while the optimised turbinate gear design can effectively reduce noise.
“Angka-Tan Motor Sdn Bhd is very proud to be introducing one of the most technologically-advanced light-duty truck that is set to raise the benchmark in the industry. The all-new Foton Aumark S series is developed with the globally renowned high-performance Cummins ISF powertrain, ZF transmission, WABCO brake solutions and other leading global innovations. It is a light-duty super truck that will deliver on its pledge as a Foton SUPER truck offering Safety, Utilitarian, Power, Efficiency and Reliability! And it has undeniably pushed the boundaries of what a light-duty truck should be,“ said Tan Keng Meng, CEO of Warisan TC Holdings Bhd.
“The 1.6 million km road test through different road, weather and altitude conditions had demonstrated the technological breakthrough in intelligent control, safety, fuel saving and smooth driving experience in the Foton Aumark S series,” he added.
The Foton Aumark S truck’s active safety features include the braking system, lighting, driving view and more. Its high-performance braking system is generated by the main braking valve which adopted WABCO’s brake control solutions for enhanced safety and braking efficiency levels, even in extreme conditions.
The headlights, which are electrically adjustable, has a low beam for the lens structure. Its luminous intensity of the single high beam is 50,000 candela, or 25 times the brightness of daytime sunlight.
An additional safety feature is the intelligent reversing radar with four sensors for more effective detection of any obstacle within 1.8 meters of the rear of the Foton Aumark S when reverse gear is engaged.
“We are confident that the arrival of this light-duty super truck will help to lay a more solid foundation for Angka-Tan Motor’s and Foton’s cooperation as well as our brand expansion in Malaysia,” added Tan.
The Foton Aumark S BJ1078 is priced at RM101,000 while the Aumark S BJ1088 is RM108,000.
The trucks come with a warranty period of five years or 200,000 km, whichever comes first. In conjunction with the launch, Angka-Tan Motor will be giving an early bird promotion discount of RM5,000 for the first 100 units. For more details, call 03-56386888.
