In 2017, four units Foton AUV fuel cell buses served at China EV 100 (2017) Forum.

As early as 2006, Foton AUV started its fuel cell bus development program by working closely with Tsinghua University and Beijing SinoHytec Co., Ltd. In 2008, Foton AUV’s first generation fuel cell buses were put into service for Beijing Olympic Games. In 2014, Foton AUV’s second generation 12-meter fuel cell bus came into market, successfully overcome such shortcomings as high production costs and relatively short lifespan of its batteries. Foton AUV’s third generation fuel cell bus secured the world’s largest fuel cell bus order in 2016, marking a new milestone in the company’s history.

In 2022 Winter Olympic Games held in Beijing and Zhangjiakou, Foton AUV fuel cell buses are scheduled to serve athletes and passengers from all over the world, helping the city host a greener Olympic Games.(www.chinabuses.org)
