Comfort and refinement

Value against rivals

From ₱2,550,000
  • Priced at ₱2,550,000, the Foton Thunder EV targets the electric utility truck segment, offering a sustainable solution for businesses navigating Philippine expressways.
  • The Thunder EV's lower maintenance needs and growing dealer network contribute to a favorable resale value, making it a practical investment.

What works

  • The Foton Thunder EV offers a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to 7 passengers, making it suitable for family trips on expressways like SLEX where travel comfort is key.
  • With its automatic transmission, the Thunder EV simplifies driving in heavy expressway traffic, particularly during peak hours on the Skyway.

What to weigh

  • Priced at ₱2,550,000, it may be considered steep compared to traditional diesel pickups, which typically offer more power and longer range for similar budgets.
