Ever Star has launched the new Foton FT5 in South Africa. It is the country’s second new model in the Foton M4 medium-large range of trucks. Foton engineers worked tirelessly to produce a truck that is of high-value and build-quality, while delivering on style, practicality and modern features.
“We developed the FT5 to be in direct competition with its Japanese counterparts,” says Rodney Selesnick, senior head of FT Sales at Ever Star Industries. “It’s not an entry-level truck by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a powerful, well specd, top quality and super-versatile truck that offers significant benefits over its competitors – and we’re not just talking purchasing price, which is substantially more pocket-friendly.”
The FT5 was put through road tests in various conditions, totaling over 1,6-million km and, as always, Ever Star Industries’ teams of experts worked hand-in-hand with all the relevant parties to ensure that, the model launched in Africa, is fit-for-purpose in tough local conditions.
“We have a no-nonsense, highly effective and well-constructed vehicle in the Powerstar FT5,” says Selesnick. “It feels and drives like a big SUV while its many applications make it perfect for many different industries. We believe it’s a winning combination of value and ingenuity – and will perform very well for South African businesses.”
