Foton Aumark S 715 and S 916 Get 2027 Safety Upgrades

Foton Brazil Introduces Updated 2027 Aumark Light-Duty Trucks

On August 6, Foton Brazil introduced the 2027 Aumark S 715 and S 916 light-duty trucks, bringing redesigned cabins, expanded safety technologies, and new automated transmission options to the lineup. Both models adopt exterior and interior styling aligned with the Aumark S 315, including integrated side mirrors, redesigned “hawkeye” headlights, and an updated front grille. The changes combine a refreshed appearance with additional equipment intended to improve safety, driver support, comfort, and day-to-day operating efficiency. The new models are offered in Brazil with broader transmission and technology choices, giving operators more flexibility across different operating requirements while maintaining the established light-duty truck positioning of the Aumark range.

Expanded Manual And Automated Transmission Choices

The transmission offering has also been expanded on both trucks. The Aumark S 715 and Aumark S 916 are now available with either manual or automated transmissions, with five speeds offered on the S 715 and six speeds on the S 916. This gives operators a choice between conventional manual operation and automated shifting, depending on their operating preferences and requirements. The transmission update forms part of a broader product revision that combines the redesigned cabin with additional equipment. Together, these changes are intended to provide greater flexibility while supporting the operational needs of customers using the trucks in light-duty applications.

Plus Trim Adds Advanced Safety And Driver Assistance

The new Plus trim adds a substantial package of advanced driver assistance and safety equipment. Its specification includes a 360-degree camera, blind spot monitoring, driver fatigue monitoring, tire pressure monitoring, electric heated mirrors, and a 10.25-inch multimedia display. These technologies provide additional visibility, monitoring, and driver information around the vehicle, while the heated mirrors can support clearer external visibility in appropriate conditions. The package also broadens the technology content available within the Aumark range, placing greater emphasis on active driver support and cabin functionality alongside the mechanical and exterior updates introduced for the 2027 models.

Standard Safety Equipment And S 916 Enhancements

Standard active safety equipment is also included across both models. The trucks feature anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control, and electronic stability control, providing core systems designed to help maintain braking control, traction, and vehicle stability. The Aumark S 916 receives further equipment, including hill-start assist, front airbags, LED headlights, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and an air-suspension driver’s seat. These additions extend the S 916 specification beyond the shared safety package and place additional emphasis on driver assistance, visibility, information display, and seating comfort during vehicle operation.

Broader Equipment And Operating Flexibility

Overall, the 2027 update gives the Aumark S 715 and S 916 a more modern cabin design and a broader equipment portfolio while retaining distinct specifications between the two models. The Plus trim adds advanced monitoring and driver-assistance technologies, while the S 916 receives several additional comfort and safety features. The combination of manual and automated transmission options also expands the choice available to operators. With these revisions, Foton Brazil has updated the light-duty trucks around three clear areas: refreshed styling, expanded safety and assistance technologies, and greater transmission flexibility for different operating needs.
