Four electric model debuts for Europe’s green logistics from JAC Motors
The Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturer unveiled new electric models at IAA Transportation 2026, expanded its European service networks, and offered flexible financing solutions for sustainable urban logistics.
At the IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover, JAC Motors emphasized its role as a long-term partner to Europe’s transportation and logistics industry through a comprehensive showcase. Under the theme “For Greener Cities, NOW!”, the company held an international press conference. The focus was on four newly introduced electric commercial vehicle models, along with a comprehensive strategy aimed at accelerating the shift to cleaner and smarter fleet solutions in European cities.
JAC Motors is responding to the commercial needs of European municipalities, logistics providers, and fleet operators. The portfolio presented covers various use cases — from last-mile delivery to urban specialty services and complex regional transportation tasks. The goal is to demonstrate how fleet electrification can be achieved without compromising efficiency or practicality.
JAC Motors’ European market strategy is based on the understanding that sustainable transformation of the transportation sector cannot be achieved solely through new vehicles, but rather through a regional ecosystem encompassing services, spare parts supply, and support. Yu Yang, General Manager of JAC International, also discusses this: “We consider Europe to be a core market for our long-term strategy. It’s not just about exporting vehicles; it’s about establishing reliable partnerships locally. Sustainable urban logistics is created through a combination of advanced vehicle technology, dependable spare parts supply, flexible financing options, and rapid service. Only in this way can we deliver real value to European fleet operators.”
A key component is the Italian subsidiary, which serves as the operational hub for spare parts and support. In partnership with companies like Santander, JAC offers flexible leasing options, while vehicle manufacturers develop specialized trailers for refrigeration and municipal vehicles.
The model quartet showcased at IAA 2026 addresses the main requirements of commercial freight and passenger transport, introducing advanced propulsion and charging technologies to the European market.
The all-electric van SUNRAY PRO was unveiled as a European premiere – specifically designed for demanding urban last-mile delivery tasks. Built on a pure electric platform, it features a flat loading floor with an exceptionally low loading height of 495 millimeters. Combined with rear doors that open 270 degrees, the vehicle enables efficient loading and unloading in tight urban areas. With a WLTP range of up to 348 kilometers and a fast charging function that can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in about 34 minutes, this van sets new standards for productivity. Integrated V2L and e-PTO interfaces also allow external electrical devices such as cooling units to be powered directly from the vehicle’s battery.
For compact urban distribution tasks, JAC Motors introduced the N42 EV. This lightweight electric truck features a compact design and excellent maneuverability in narrow streets. Powered by a 77.28-kWh battery, it offers optimized energy efficiency for daily routes. Equipped with a 360-degree camera system, advanced assistance systems, and extended warranty packages for the battery and drive components, the N42 EV is designed for businesses seeking a reliable and safe solution for regular urban delivery trips.
The N90 EV sits at a higher tier in terms of payload capacity, being an emission-free 9-ton truck designed for regional distribution and heavy hauling tasks. Equipped with an 180-kW electric motor and a 100.46-kWh battery pack, the vehicle achieves an WLTP range of 180 kilometers under full load conditions. Its integrated 100-kW DC fast charging capability allows it to be seamlessly incorporated into existing shift schedules. Comprehensive active and passive safety systems ensure the necessary protection for long-distance and regional transportation.
The premiere lineup is completed by the T9 PHEV, a plug-in hybrid pickup that combines commercial usability with high flexibility and electric mobility. The vehicle offers a pure electric range of over 100 kilometers for emission-free operation in low-emission zones, as well as a total range of nearly 1,000 kilometers for long-distance trips. With a towing capacity of up to 3,500 kilograms, an external power output of 3.3 kW for tools, and a top rating of five stars in Australia’s ANCAP safety assessment, the T9 PHEV targets both commercial users in construction and municipal sectors as well as private recreational drivers.
With the innovations showcased at IAA Transportation 2026, JAC Motors reaffirms its commitment to actively shaping the transformation of Europe’s transportation sector. By continuously increasing local value creation, expanding workshop capacity, and introducing models tailored to specific needs, the manufacturer plans to fully solidify its presence in all key European markets by 2028 and provide fleet operators with a reliable path toward decarbonizing their vehicle fleets.
