JAC

What JAC does

JAC (Jianghuai Automobile Group) is a Chinese state-owned automobile manufacturer founded in 1964 and headquartered in Hefei, Anhui. The company operates 27 global production bases across 132 countries, with cumulative exports exceeding 1.7 million vehicles and 221,900 vehicles exported in 2025 alone. Its product portfolio spans compact and mid-size SUVs (JS2 through JS8 PRO), diesel and electric pickup trucks (T8/T9 series, including the new e-T9 4x4 BEV), light commercial trucks (X200, X300), passenger vans (Refine, Sunray), and fully electric models (e-30X, e-JS4). At the ultra-luxury tier, JAC co-develops the Maextro brand with Huawei, including the S800 sedan priced $100,000-$145,000 featuring Level 3 semi-autonomous driving.

The company sells through authorized dealer/distributor networks (Derco in Peru is the primary distributor), dedicated corporate fleet sales teams, and digital channels. Pricing spans US$12,390 for the entry JS2 SUV to US$49,990 for the e-T9 electric pickup in Peru, with monthly financing options bundled through partnered financial institutions. Revenue mechanics are anchored in one-time vehicle sales (passenger and commercial), supplemented by fleet/corporate bulk sales and aftermarket parts/service through the dealership network. The customer base is split between retail individuals/families and enterprise fleet operators, with named accounts including Luz del Sur (Peru EV fleet, 62→120+ units), PepsiCo, Postobón, FedEx, and Renting Colombia.

Technology is built around internal combustion engines (gasoline and diesel with turbo intercooler "Green Jet" technology), battery electric drivetrains, and plug-in hybrid systems. Advanced features include the proprietary ADVISOR ADAS suite, regenerative braking, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, and — through the Huawei partnership — Level 3 autonomous driving and smart cockpit technology. JAC also participates in the NIO battery swap network and is exploring joint development with Stellantis/Maserati under the Huawei HIMA alliance model. Geographic expansion is underway via a joint venture plant in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and a strategic target of 5% Brazilian truck market share by 2030.
