JAC Motors delivers 100 electric trucks in Mexico

The Chinese manufacturer JAC makes a significant impact with this order of 100 electric trucks to North America

The Chinese manufacturer JAC Motors recently shipped 100 MD electric trucks from Hefei, China, to a single customer in Mexico. This delivery marks a turning point for JAC. The company aims to expand its presence in the North American electric commercial vehicle market.

A strategic breakthrough in Mexico

Mexico, the 13th largest automotive market in the world, is a key point for foreign manufacturers, including Chinese firms JAC and BYD. Its proximity to the United States and low labor costs attract international brands, particularly for electric vehicles. Moreover, the Mexican market offers significant growth potential due to an increasing demand for sustainable transport solutions.

The Mexican Association of Electromobility (EMA) brings together players such as Kia, Volvo, Tesla, JAC, and BYD. It has set a goal to transition to 100% electric vehicles by 2035 to reduce carbon emissions in the country. “We encourage the sharing of best practices to clean up Mexican cities,” says Shirley Wagner, president of the EMA. This initiative highlights the growing importance of electric vehicles in the fight against urban pollution.

A high-performance and ecological model

The JAC N55 model included in this order is equipped with a 96.7 kWh battery, providing a range of 200 km. It charges from 10 to 80% in 20 minutes thanks to a 150 kW fast charger. Competing with the Chevrolet Brightdrop and Isuzu NRR EV, this truck underscores the rise of Chinese brands in the electric vehicle market.

With this order, JAC Motors strengthens its presence in North America and demonstrates that Chinese manufacturers are now ready to compete with Western brands in electromobility. This development paves the way for future collaborations and increased competition in the electric transportation sector.
