Chinese automotive manufacturer, JAC Motors, has achieved a remarkable milestone by setting a new record for Chinese bakkie exports in September 2024. The company shipped an impressive 7 054 units to over 130 markets worldwide.

A strong year for JAC Motors

Sales data for the first three quarters of 2024 reveals that JAC Motors exported 47 600 units globally, a significant 13.7% increase year-on-year. This achievement positions JAC Motors as the leading domestic automobile brand in China for bakkie exports, accounting for over 20% of the total.

The company’s statement attributes this success to the competitive nature of its bakkies, coupled with the trust and confidence that global customers place in JAC Motors’ quality and reliability.

Innovation and electrification

At the prestigious IAA Transportation 2024 show in Hannover, Germany, JAC Motors unveiled its groundbreaking battery-electric T9 EV double-cab. This innovative electric vehicle has garnered significant industry attention, highlighting the strength and potential of China’s automotive sector on the global stage.

Expanding global footprint
