JAC 3-Tonne truck

The 3-tonne, the local truck line-up star performer, is the entry into JAC Motors’ truck stable. More than three million have been sold globally. It is popular with urban logistics transport operators because of its manoeuvrability, reliability, excellent fuel consumption and low running cost.

The 3-tonne supports a reliable 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine developing 80 kW at 3 600 r/min and 240 Nm of torque between 1 800 and 2 000 r/min. The powerful Euro 2 engine is paired with an easy-shifting five-speed manual transmission. It also features an exhaust brake system for maximum braking efficiency.

Its powertrain design ensures that peak torque is delivered at low rpm, reducing the need for frequent gear shifting, which results in better fuel consumption. Its average combined-cycle fuel consumption is 10 ℓ/100 km.

The short wheelbase design of the 3-tonne and the maximum use of axle capacities for ideal payload weight distribution ensure optimal manoeuvrability in heavy inner-city traffic and small construction sites. It supports a wheelbase of 3 360 mm with 190 mm ground clearance. Its turning radius is only seven metres.

The 3-tonne truck benefits from the new heavy-duty ladder-frame chassis stamping and welding treatment process, making it robust for many body applications.

Its overall dimensions are 5 995 mm x 1 900 mm x 2 330 mm. It offers a payload of 3 040 kg and a large load area measuring 4 230 mm x 1 790 mm x 400 mm. The ultra-flat low deck offers excellent clearance, making loading and offloading easy.

“Our fuel-efficient 3-tonne truck offers the best value for money in its category. It reflects the product values of quality, reliability, functionality and low operating costs,” says Göbel.

JAC 6-tonne truck

The 6-tonne truck remains a popular choice in the highly competitive MCV market, mainly because of its durability, versatility and low running cost. It appeals to a broad customer base in the transport and logistic sectors across many different industries.

Part of the 6-tonne truck’s appeal is its powerful Euro 3 Cummins ISF 3.8-litre common-rail four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with a maximum power output of 115 kW at 2 600 r/min and 500 Nm of peak torque between 1 200 and 1 900 rpm. This allows for low engine speeds at cruising rpm, reducing fuel consumption. Its average combined-cycle fuel consumption is 9.5 ℓ/100 km.

The proven powerplant is linked to a synchromesh six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic-assisted Single Dry Plate clutch. It also features an exhaust brake system for maximum braking efficiency.

The 6-tonne truck’s short wheelbase design and the maximum use of axle capacities for ideal payload weight distribution ensure that the driver, passengers and cargo will be safe on the road, no matter the conditions.

Its overall dimensions are 7 033 mm x 2 200 mm x 2 410 mm. It supports a wheelbase of 3 845 mm with 190 mm ground clearance. Its turning radius is an impressive 7.1 metres. The 6-tonne C/C derivative offers a payload of 6 040 kg and a large load area measuring 5 153 mm x 2 200 mm.

“The versatility and low running cost of our reliable 6-tonne truck are two of its main selling points. As a result, it is used for many types of transport operations including companies in the agriculture-, courier- and construction industries,” explains Göbel.

JAC EV battery-electric truck

JAC Motors has manufactured battery-electric trucks since . Today, the company’s range of electric truck platforms operates across the globe, ranging from 2.5 to 12 tonnes, offering flexible weight and wheelbase options to suit particular tasks on the same vehicle frame.

A liquid-cooled 96.77 kWh LFP battery powers the EV. It reaches 200 km per charge and can scale up to 16.7 degrees with a load of 2.5-tonnes. When standard European CCS2-Combo connections are used, the battery recharges to 80 per cent capacity in one-and-a-half hours and 100 per cent in two hours. Compared to conventional diesel engine trucks, the EV achieves a 50 per cent lower fuel/energy cost and a 30 per cent lower maintenance cost.

An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) assists the driver in emergency braking situations, offering additional safety to occupants and keeping the load intact. The automatic transmission provides an effortless driving experience, and because its electric powertrain features regenerative braking and an economical driving mode.

JAC Motors’ state-of-the-art fault diagnostic and vehicle monitoring and control systems are standard fitment, ensuring that the truck’s health always surpasses the expectation levels of transport operators.

“Our EV 3.5-tonne has a proven track record in the markets where it has been sold since and has demonstrated its capability to meet the diverse operational requirements of transport operators. It is reliable, comfortable and safe, and guarantees a substantial reduction in operating cost, making it the perfect choice for modern-day logistic companies,” says Göbel.

Durable chassis and cab design

The front suspension features semi-elliptical multi-leaf springs and semi-elliptical leaf springs with auxiliary springs, do duty at the rear.

“The JAC Truck solid chassis and frame, with the axles optimally graded to effectively carry its permissible weight in the front and back, ensures sufficient carrying capacity for the general transport and logistics environment,” says Göbel.

The JAC Truck’s spacious, ergonomically designed cabs provide generous space for the driver and two passengers. Occupant safety and comfort are a priority for JAC Motors, ensuring the inclusion of standard features such as air-conditioning and a radio with Bluetooth, MP3 and USB functionality.

The JAC 3-tonne and EV trucks boast electric windows and a height- and telescopic adjustable multi-function steering wheel. The EV truck also features a pedestrian warning system to keep the occupants, cargo and people using urban roads safe. In addition, it features JAC Motors’ latest vehicle connectivity system with an 8-inch touchscreen display including Bluetooth, navigation and online music.

“In our experience, customers in this market segment seek trucks that are functional, reliable, and affordable to run and maintain. Trucks also need to offer comfortable and well-equipped cabins, must be fuel-efficient and easy to operate,” concludes Göbel.

JAC has been making serious strides in the EV game, and we can’t help but get excited about the possibilities. The JAC N90 EV truck is a shining example of how the automaker is rethinking commercial transport, bringing together electric efficiency, practical functionality, and smart safety features. While it’s not available in South Africa yet, we’re watching with interest to see if it might make its way here in the future.

Built For Real-World Challenges

When it comes to electric trucks, some people still have their doubts. Can they handle a full day’s work? Are they practical for businesses? Will they leave you stranded with no charge? The N90 EV makes a solid case for why electric is

the future of commercial transport. With a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of kg and a powerful 171kW peak motor delivering a hefty Nm of torque, this is a truck built to do some serious heavy lifting.

One of the standout features is its hill climb gradeability of 30%. Whether you’re hauling goods in an urban setting or navigating trickier terrain, the JAC N90 EV is designed to handle it with ease. Thanks to a lithium-iron-phosphate battery from CATL, this truck is engineered for durability and reliability, ensuring smooth operation even under demanding conditions.

DID YOU KNOW? As of , there were approximately 406.8 million trucks and buses registered globally. In , global commercial vehicle production, which includes trucks, vans, and buses, reached around 23.7 million units. In the United States alone, there were 14.33 million single-unit and combination trucks registered in , accounting for 5% of all motor vehicles registered in the country.

A Driving Experience That’s Future-Forward

Stepping into the cab of the N90 EV, it’s clear that JAC has prioritised driver comfort and ease of use. The cabin is spacious, visibility is excellent, and the large TFT digital display provides all the crucial driving data at a glance. Unlike traditional diesel trucks, there’s no noisy engine or emissions to deal with—just a smooth, quiet ride that makes urban deliveries far more pleasant.

One unique aspect of the N90 EV is its regenerative braking system, which helps extend battery life by capturing and reusing energy every time you slow down. This makes it not only an efficient workhorse but also a cost-saver over time.

Safety And Practicality Go Hand In Hand

JAC has packed the N90 EV with a host of safety features that make it a smart choice for businesses looking to future-proof their fleets.

• Auto Emergency Braking System (AEBS). Helps prevent collisions by detecting obstacles and applying the brakes when necessary.
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). Alerts the driver if the truck unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Keeps the truck steady even in challenging driving conditions.
• Reverse camera and radar system. Enhances visibility and makes reversing safer, especially in tight spaces.

These features make the N90 EV a strong contender in the electric commercial vehicle segment, offering both peace of mind and convenience.

The Road Ahead For JAC’s Electric Trucks

The global shift towards sustainable transport is gaining momentum, and JAC is firmly in the race. With governments around the world offering incentives for EV adoption, we’re keeping an eye on how JAC’s electric trucks will continue to develop. The N90 EV is already proving itself overseas, and we’re eager to see where JAC takes this innovation next.

Small businesses and companies looking for a tough, affordable work truck now have a game-changing option. The JAC X200 flatbed truck is turning heads with prices starting under R350,000 and two powerful engine options that deliver serious value.

Let’s look at why the JAC X200 should be your next company purchase in our blog.

What Makes The JAC X200 Special?

“This is a no-nonsense truck built for South African workers,” says Karl-Heinz Göbel from JAC Motors. “We’ve designed a vehicle that’s reliable, affordable, and ready for whatever tough job comes its way.”

It’s the only double-cab pickup in South Africa that legally and safely carries six workers – solving a major headache for companies worried about transportation regulations. No more risky bakkie rides that could land you in trouble with safety authorities.

With its super-low deck – just 785mm from the ground – loading and unloading becomes a breeze. The single-cab version can haul an impressive 1.5 tonnes, while the double-cab still manages a solid 1.3-tonne payload, giving you flexibility without compromising on work capacity.

Performance and Economy

The JAC X200 now offers two engine choices. The new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel produces 68kW and 210Nm, while the enhanced 2.8-litre turbo-diesel delivers 80kW. Both engines achieve impressive fuel efficiency, averaging 8-litres/100km on the combined cycle.

Comprehensive Warranty and Service

All X200 models come with a seven-year/200,000km warranty package that includes a five-year/100,000km comprehensive warranty covering essential mechanical components, plus an additional two-year/100,000km warranty on drivetrain components. Service intervals are set at every 10,000km or 12 months after the 5,000km/ 6 month and 15,000 km/12-month services and the 80kW models include a five-year/100,000km service plan.

Standard Features

Every JAC X200 comes with air conditioning, synthetic leather seats, and a Radio/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth. Additional features include a height-adjustable steering wheel and remote-controlled central locking. Double-cab and single-cab models are further enhanced with ABS and electric windows*.

With over 70 dealerships across Southern Africa and factory-approved accessories available, the JAC X200 offers South African businesses a practical, cost-effective transportation solution backed by comprehensive support.

In an exciting update, JAC Motors has introduced two new derivatives to its popular X200 line-up, expanding the versatility and appeal of this hardworking vehicle. For those unfamiliar with the JAC X200, it is a robust workhorse, ideal for small businesses and entrepreneurs seeking an affordable and dependable light commercial vehicle. The addition of the new X200s provides even more options for customers who need reliable performance for a variety of tasks.

Let’s take a closer look at the key features and differences between the new models and their existing counterparts in the JAC X200 family.

X200s: A Refined and Budget-friendly Option for Urban and Rural Use

The new X200s, available in single- and double-cab guises features a detuned version of the Chinese firm’s proven 2.8-litre engine, producing 68 kW and 210 Nm of torque. Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox sending power to the rear wheels, the X200s strikes an impressive balance, delivering an average fuel consumption of just 8.0L/100km. This variant is aimed at budget-conscious operators who still require a reliable and efficient workhorse.

Running on an uprated version of the same engine, the existing variants produce a beefier 80 kW and 240 Nm of torque. Designed for operators who need extra muscle for heavier jobs, the X200 forward cabs come with a higher price tag but offer increased power and torque, making them a solid choice for more demanding work environments.

Built For Tough Jobs With Practical Features

The new JAC X200 models just like the existing models are designed for serious work, built on a heavy-duty ladder-frame chassis that ensures stable weight distribution across the axles. This makes it ideal for a wide range of commercial tasks, from small businesses to larger operations.

Stopping power comes from large front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, ABS (double cab) and a load-sensing proportioning valve (LSPV), ensuring safety under any load.

On the single-cab models, you get a generous load bed measuring 2,785mm in length, 1,650mm in width, and 355mm in height, offering a 4,595mm² cargo area and a 1.5-tonne payload. The double-cab versions shrink the load bed to 2,215mm but can still haul up to 1.3 tonnes. For easy loading, both models have a low deck of 785mm.

The forward-cabin design accommodates up to six passengers in the double cab, a rare find among its rivals. Plus, with its elevated driver position, hydraulic steering, and compact 5.4m turning radius, the X200 is easy to handle even in tight spaces.

The powertrain design ensures excellent fuel economy, with an average consumption of 8.0 ℓ/100 km (combined cycle), allowing businesses to maximise efficiency while minimising fuel costs.

Safety and Handling Excellence

Safety is a priority for the JAC X200, evident in its double-wishbone independent front suspension and ladder-frame chassis designed for stability, manoeuvrability, and solid handling. The four-star crash test design with crumple zones and side protection further enhances the safety features of this dependable workhorse.

Affordability Paired With Peace Of Mind
