A delivery vehicle needs to suit the loads, streets and working hours of the business using it. The Foton Truckmate offers a compact format for carrying supplies, tools and stock, with a choice of open and enclosed bodies.

Choose the body around the job

The dropside provides access for loading bulky items and has a stated payload of 1,200 kg. The box body encloses the cargo area for goods that need protection from the weather, with a stated payload of 1,100 kg.

A 1.5-litre petrol engine produces 82 kW and 142 Nm, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. For a Cape Town business comparing its next vehicle, the useful starting point is the size and weight of a typical day’s deliveries, followed by running costs and servicing requirements.
