What brand of engine does Foton use?

Foton Tunland uses the engine model 4F20TC3, with a maximum horsepower of 150, a maximum power of 110KW, a maximum power speed of 3500rpm, and a peak torque of 330N.m. Foton GAT ix5 uses the engine model DAM15DL, with a maximum horsepower of 116, a maximum power of 85KW, a maximum power speed of 6000rpm, and a peak torque of 150N.m. The engine of Foton GAT ix5 is produced by Beijing Foton Engine Plant of Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. The 4JB1TDi power introduced by Foton Tunland is a high-pressure common rail diesel engine developed and manufactured by Beijing Foton Engine Plant using Isuzu's advanced technology. For the daily maintenance of Foton engines, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, and the selection standard should not be lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which will bring various problems to the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve and still bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
It depends on the specific model! Foton has a wide range of vehicle series, from light trucks to heavy trucks and even pickups. I've driven many Foton light trucks, like the Aoling and Forland series, which are their main models. Many of them are equipped with Foton's own EuroPower engines, such as the rugged and durable 2.0L and 2.5L diesel engines, which are very common for urban deliveries. The advantage of their own engines is the wide availability of service points and affordable parts, even small maintenance can be handled by roadside shops. Of course, higher-end models like the Auman heavy trucks are different; they are mostly developed in deep collaboration with Cummins, using Foton Cummins engines, such as the ISM series, which are extremely powerful and reliable for long-haul heavy loads. Recently, they've also launched new energy light trucks, with batteries and electric drive systems mainly sourced from major suppliers like CATL.
