At the 94th China International Medical Equipment Fair in Beijing, truck maker Foton presented two flagship mobile medical vehicles: an Auman H7 surgery vehicle that performs radiation-free cardiac interventions away from hospitals, and what it calls the world's first AI mobile medical vehicle with 5G remote consultation. Beijing is backing the sector as a lead industry.
At the 94th China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF autumn edition), which opened in Beijing on 21 October, Foton appeared as a "mobile medical full-scenario solutions provider", showing the Auman H7 radiation-free interventional surgery vehicle and the AUV AI mobile medical vehicle. The Beijing city government has designated Foton's parent, BAIC Group, as the lead enterprise for developing the city's mobile medical vehicle industry, and a dedicated project team started work in October 2025.
The Auman H7 surgery vehicle was built with Fuwai Hospital and the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases. It carries the hospital's radiation-free percutaneous intervention technology, so a cardiac procedure that normally needs a hospital cath lab can be done on site without radiation shielding. The vehicle was delivered in September 2026 at the China Heart Congress and will be donated to Guyuan City People's Hospital in Ningxia, a region far from the country's major cardiac centers.
The AI vehicle, developed with the national AI application pilot base, integrates AI medical agents from Beijing Tongren, Anzhen and Children's hospitals and uses a 5G + AI platform for remote consultation with Beijing's top-tier hospitals. Foton says its range now covers mobile CT, general practice, ophthalmic, dental, laboratory, vaccination and surgery vehicles. The programme also divides work across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region: research and design in Beijing, core medical equipment from Tianjin, key components from Hebei.
A mobile clinic is a hospital room on a chassis, and the hard part is the medical fit-out, not the van. What this programme shows is vehicle-plus-hospital co-design: the core technology came from the hospitals that will actually use it. For buyers, the practical move is to specify medical equipment, power supply and connectivity together with the body, ask which hospital or department signed off the interior layout, and check the service chain for the onboard devices — a surgery vehicle that cannot be serviced locally is a very expensive parked asset.
