VI Motors Named Foton Distributor
VI Motors Ltd. has been appointed the exclusive distributor of FOTON commercial vehicles in the British Virgin Islands, bringing pickup models Tunland G7, G9 and V9 to the local market. The incoming fleet is en route to Road Town, Tortola, with local parts, diagnostics and test-drive opportunities promised upon arrival.
VI Motors Ltd. has been named the exclusive distributor of FOTON commercial vehicles for the British Virgin Islands, expanding the dealership’s long-standing role as a supplier of reliable passenger cars into the commercial and fleet market. The initial launch will feature three Tunland pickup models: the entry-level Tunland G7, the mid-tier Tunland G9 and FOTON’s flagship Tunland V9.
According to VI Motors, the range is intended to meet the needs of businesses, contractors and fleet operators across the territory by combining towing and cargo capability with modern, tech-forward cabin appointments. “The introduction of FOTON allows us to serve a wider range of customers, particularly businesses and contractors seeking dependable commercial vehicles at competitive price points,” said Allan Parker of VI Motors. “We believe the Tunland lineup is well suited to the unique demands of the British Virgin Islands, combining durability, capability, and modern features.” FOTON is a major global commercial vehicle manufacturer operating in more than 110 countries.
Its product lines include trucks, pickups, buses and specialty vehicles used across construction, logistics, public works and other industries — sectors that play a visible role in the BVI economy. VI Motors says the incoming fleet is currently en route and will make its public debut at the dealership’s Road Town, Tortola facility.
The pre-launch phase begins immediately with a series of social media previews, followed by on-site vehicle walkthroughs and test drives once the vehicles arrive. To ensure local aftersales support, VI Motors’ automotive coordinators completed factory and field training in China. The company says that training will allow the dealership to provide full diagnostics, maintenance and access to genuine parts locally, reducing potential downtime for commercial operators and improving service turnaround times.
For BVI business owners and contractors who rely on durable, maintainable vehicles for deliveries, construction work and island services, the availability of a locally supported commercial pickup range could provide a more convenient and cost-effective option than overseas purchases.
Interested customers can visit VI Motors in Road Town or follow the dealership’s social media channels for updates on vehicle arrivals and test-drive scheduling. The arrival of FOTON pickups adds a new commercial option for local fleets and signals continued diversification in the territory’s automotive market.
