JAC Motors Strengthens Presence in Malaysia with New T9 Pick-up Series and Expanded EV Lineup.
Kuala Lumpur, October 21, 2024 – JAC Motors, one of China’s leading and most versatile automobile manufacturers, has reaffirmed its commitment to the Malaysian market by introducing an expanded lineup of light commercial electric vehicles (EVs) and previewing the premium T9 pick-up series ahead of its official launch in January 2025. The event marks a pivotal step toward meeting the growing demand for sustainable and innovative mobility solutions in Malaysia.
Since its founding in 1964, JAC Motors has evolved into a global leader, selling 600,000 units annually across 132 countries. The brand’s dominance is underscored by 14 consecutive years as China’s number one light truck exporter and a top-five position among global commercial vehicle brands. JAC Motors allocates 5-8% of annual revenue toward research and development, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in battery swapping, hydrogen fuel, and advanced mobility solutions through collaborations with industry giants like Volkswagen, NIO, CATL, and Cummins.
The Malaysian market will see two versions of the T9 pick-up; T9 Diesel 2.0 CTI 4×4, and T9 BEV 4×4, Malaysia’s first electric 4×4 pick-up.
Both models feature ADAS 2.0 (Advanced Driver Assistance System), front and rear disc brakes, a Driver Monitoring System, and seven airbags. The T9 Diesel 4×4 has already achieved a 5-star rating from Australia NCAP, reflecting its top-tier safety and performance standards.
JAC Motors has reaffirmed its commitment to the Malaysian market with the introduction of advanced and sustainable vehicles. The launch of the T9 pick-up series, alongside the company’s commercial EV lineup, underscores its focus on innovation, safety, and performance. Through a strategic partnership with EvolvElectric Motors Sdn Bhd, the exclusive distributor for the T9 series led by Mr. Lau Yit Mun, JAC Motors aims to establish a robust customer base and foster sustainable growth in Malaysia.
