The High Roof Electric Van from Foton has been introduced in Nepal with an attractive price tag of Rs 57 lakh. Additionally, Foton Nepal is offering 80 percent financing options for electric vehicles. Foton EVs are European Union Whole Vehicle Type-Approval System (WVTA) certified. Under the WVTA, a manufacturer can obtain certification for a vehicle type in one EU country and then market it EU-wide without the need for further tests.

Foton ensures the vehicle’s durability with a 3,00,000 km or 5-year warranty. The High Roof EV Van comes with 85 kW power, a spacious interior, and full AC for a comfortable ride. According to the company, the vehicle has a 50.23 kWh CATL battery.

Commenting on the launch, Nabin Acharya, Sales Head of Foton Nepal, emphasized, “The Foton High Roof EV Van stands out in its segment, not just for its advanced technology but also for its emphasis on spacious interiors, ensuring unparalleled comfort for both drivers and passengers. The seats are carefully contoured to provide optimal lumbar support, minimizing fatigue and ensuring a relaxed posture for passengers. Its low maintenance cost further adds value, allowing owners to save more. The van is meticulously engineered for the unique road conditions of Nepal and incorporates a suite of safety features, ensuring a secure and worry-free travel experience for all.”

Similarly, Vishnu Kumar Agarwal, Executive Director of MAW, added, “Foton is not just a manufacturer; it is an architect of innovation, continually updating with new technologies. The collaboration with global leaders and the recognition of the Light House Award 2020 from the World Economic Forum reaffirms Foton’s commitment. In addition to ground-breaking vehicle innovation, Foton is actively investing in EV charging stations across Nepal. Recognizing Nepal’s rich water resources, the reduced dependence on imported petrol and diesel will contribute significantly to the overall economic prosperity of the country. Foton envisions a sustainable future for Nepal, driven by cutting-edge technology and a steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility.”
