Foton has expanded its authorised after-sales network for electric vehicles in Nepal with five new Total Care Shield service points in Bhaluwang, Baglung, Lalbandi, Chapur and Lahan, according to the company announcement.
Wider EV service coverage outside major cities
With these additions, Foton now reports more than 21 service locations across the country dedicated to its electric and commercial vehicle customers. The new outlets sit in growing market towns along key freight and passenger corridors and are meant to close the gap between Kathmandu‑centric service and the needs of operators in the provinces.
The distributor says the expansion is planned to cut travel distance and waiting time for owners who previously had to bring vehicles to far‑away centres for even routine work. This matters especially for commercial EVs. Long downtime directly hits business.
Focus on commercial and institutional users
Foton’s electric commercial vehicles are increasingly used by logistics companies, educational institutions and fleet operators for city and intercity transport. The brand expects these segments to gain the most from the new Shield service points, as they depend on predictable maintenance schedules and quick response when issues arise.
New and existing customers can get: - Regular servicing and preventive maintenance - EV‑specific diagnostics and troubleshooting - Mechanical and electrical repairs - Warranty handling and claim support
All work is done with genuine Foton spare parts and tools that are calibrated for the company’s electric models. The centres are staffed by technicians trained on high‑voltage systems and EV safety. That is important for safe work on batteries, power electronics and drive motors.
Part of a broader after-sales push
The network expansion matches other recent service campaigns run by Foton and its distributor in Nepal, such as regional Total Care programmes and seasonal service camps, which also aim to make maintenance more convenient for owners in both western and eastern regions.
For Nepali buyers looking at Foton’s electric commercial vehicles, the wider service footprint means easier access to authorised support beyond Kathmandu and major cities. In practical terms, operators based in mid‑hill and Tarai towns now have a higher chance of finding a Foton EV service point within a day’s drive. That reduces operating risk and helps keep vehicles on the road.
Prices of specific Foton EV models and detailed service packages were not disclosed in the announcement. The company positions these Shield service points as full‑fledged authorised centres rather than temporary camps.
