Preparations for setting up the venture, which would make medium- to heavy-duty trucks, are proceeding smoothly, Foton said in a statement.
It did not disclose any financial details or the potential size of the venture.
The companies are also exploring opportunities to form a global partnership, the statement added.
In December, Foton scrapped a share placement plan with DaimlerChrysler which would have given its potential partner a 24%.
The agreement was cancelled in December after the deal failed to win government approval.
