The Foton Tornado Ref Van Can Safely Transport COVID-19 Vaccines

As the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to negatively impact our country and fellowmen, the world is also fast-tracking the production of COVID-19 vaccines, one of the challenges however is transporting these essentials to their destinations. To ensure a reliable mobility solution in pharmaceutical transport, Foton Motor Philippines, Inc. (FMPI) features the Foton Tornado Ref Vans.

Built using components from world-known brands, the Foton Tornado Ref Van is tapped with the best technologies to bring the vaccine fast, safe, and in its optimal condition to its intended recipients. Aside from being powered by an American-designed Cummins turbodiesel engine, it also has Thermo King, which pioneered transport refrigeration for 80 years.

Depending on the requirements, Foton has two models of the Tornado Ref Van that are capable of transporting the much-needed vaccines safely to their intended destinations.

First is the Foton Tornado M4.2C Ref Van which comes with a refrigerated storage area that can be set with a temperature of as low as -20 degrees Celsius which is a critical temperature for mobile refrigerated vans for the special purpose of transporting temperature-sensitive medicines. It has a generous payload of 4.2 tons fitted within its 14-foot long body.

The powerful Cummins 3.8L ISF Diesel Engine generates a maximum power output of 154 hp and maximum torque of 500 Nm at 1,200 to 1,900 RPM. 

The second type features a closed storage area capable of maintaining temperatures as low as -18 degrees Celsius, the 12-foot-long Foton Tornado M2.6C Ref Van is a competent workhorse for moving critical vaccines in this pandemic.

Its Cummins 2.8L ISF diesel engine produces a maximum power of 129 hp at 3,200 RPM and maximum torque of 310 Nm at 1,300 to 3,200 RPM. This enables it to traverse long distances with ease. It also has a generous payload capacity of 2.6 tons which allows it to carry thousands of vaccines in a single drive without much hassle and swiftly deliver them to different destinations.  Cargo will also be properly spaced and placed within its spacious refrigerated body storage secured by a durable mechanical lock.
