Foton shows off its Tunland utes, which are now being imported by Ateco Automotive

Ateco Automotive has been the importer and distributor of Foton trucks for some time, but the addition of Foton utes into the fold is a recent development. The move is aimed at providing a better dealer network and more competitive pricing for the vehicles.

Ateco spokesman Daniel Cotterill says that Foton are also beginning the lengthy process of establishing a foothold in the Australian truck market, which is a goal that he seems optimistic about achieving. See the video for more information.
