Penrith appears in Inchcape’s Foton dealer network
Inchcape’s Australian Foton brand page lists Penrith as one of its local dealerships, alongside Bundoora in Victoria, North Shore in Artarmon and Parramatta. The Penrith entry is shown at 14 Jack Williams Drive, Penrith NSW 2750, with sales, service and parts contact details included on the dealer locator page. The page also describes Inchcape’s growing Foton presence across Sydney and Melbourne, but it does not, in the supplied text, confirm any separate opening event for the Penrith site. 1
What Inchcape says it is retailing
On the same brand page, Inchcape describes Foton as a commercial vehicle range built for capability, durability and value, and says the local line-up covers utes and light-duty trucks. The page also lists ownership support for Foton utes, including a 7-year unlimited-kilometre new-car warranty, up to 7 years of roadside assistance for buyers who opt in, and a 7-year/110,000-kilometre capped-price servicing program for model year 2025 onwards new Foton vehicles at participating service centres. Inchcape’s 2024 Australian distribution announcement said the company would market Foton new-energy vehicle and internal-combustion utes, vans, and light-duty and medium-duty ICE trucks from the fourth quarter of 2024, with vans to follow within the next year. 16
Australian dealer network context
The dealer page shows Penrith as part of a broader Australian network that also includes Bundoora, North Shore and Parramatta. It names the brands as part of Inchcape’s Australian portfolio and points readers to available stock, offers, finance, parts and servicing, but the supplied material stops short of giving a dated press-release account of when Penrith was opened or how the centre was formally launched. 1
Foton’s wider commercial push
Separate from the Australian dealer listing, BAIC Foton used IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover to unveil the Cavan Beacon heavy truck and show seven vehicles and six components. Company and syndicated coverage said the event also marked delivery of Foton’s 13 millionth vehicle, an Auman Galaxy 9 that entered the Spanish market, while Foton outlined a European strategy targeting nearly 20 markets, more than 300 service outlets, a German parts centre and local assembly by 2028. The Cavan Beacon was described as a dual-power long-haul truck with battery-electric and hydrogen configurations, with reported range claims above 600 km on battery and more than 1,000 km on hydrogen. 2345
