JAC Motors Presents Four-Model Line-Up at IAA Transportation 2026
JAC Motors is presenting a four-model line-up at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, marking its second appearance at the commercial vehicle show since launching its European expansion strategy in 2024.
The company’s display in Hall 12, which opens on press day on 14 September, includes two electric light-duty trucks, an electric panel van and a plug-in hybrid pickup.
The showcase comes as JAC Motors continues to expand its European commercial vehicle operations. Since the 2024 edition of IAA Transportation, the company has established JAC Motors Italy as a regional service and distribution hub and expanded its dealer network into Germany, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
Fleet deployments with PepsiCo, DHL, and Heineken, alongside a long-term EV partnership with Volkswagen Group, underpin JAC Motors’ position among European fleet operators.
JAC Motors Electric Truck Line-Up
The N90 EV is a 9-tonne distribution truck powered by a 100.46 kWh CATL battery. It has a 180 km WLTP range and supports 100 kW fast charging.
The N42 EV carries a 77.28 kWh CATL battery and has a WLTP range approaching 200 km.
Both electric trucks use CATL batteries equipped with an all-domain liquid-cooled thermal management system.
JAC Motors says its focus extends beyond vehicle specifications, with the company targeting a further 10–15% reduction in operators’ total operating costs.
SUNRAY PRO Electric Panel Van
The SUNRAY PRO is a born-electric panel van designed for commercial applications.
It provides 8.3 m³ of cargo space and a 1.3-tonne payload, adding an electric van option to JAC Motors’ commercial vehicle line-up at IAA Transportation 2026.
The vehicle forms part of the company’s broader response to changes in European fleet renewal, as logistics operators increasingly consider electric commercial vehicles alongside charging infrastructure, total cost of ownership and changes to fleet operations.
T9 PHEV Targets Commercial and Private Users
The fourth vehicle on display is the T9 PHEV pickup, which uses a decoupled off-road hybrid system.
The pickup claims up to 1,000 km of combined range on the Chinese CLTC test cycle and is targeting both commercial and private users.
Its inclusion alongside the electric trucks and panel van gives JAC Motors a broader electrified vehicle line-up at the 2026 commercial vehicle show.
JAC Motors Expands European Operations
JAC Motors first presented its European strategy at IAA Transportation 2024 under the banner “For Greener Cities, NOW.”
Over the past two years, the strategy has moved from announcement to implementation. JAC Motors Italy has been established as a product, marketing, service and parts hub with regional coverage across Europe.
The company has also been rapidly expanding its sales and service network in key markets including Spain, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Partnerships with major fleet operators have further supported the company’s European expansion. Deployments with PepsiCo, DHL and Heineken provide fleet exposure, while the long-term EV partnership with Volkswagen Group adds to JAC Motors’ European EV activities.

R&D Investment Supports EV Development
JAC Motors’ research and development expenditure reached 8.99% of revenue in 2025, representing a 20.64% year-on-year increase.
The company is targeting further reductions in operators’ total operating costs of 10–15%, highlighting its focus on the operating economics of commercial vehicle fleets.
The two electric trucks displayed at IAA Transportation 2026 both use CATL batteries with all-domain liquid-cooled thermal management systems.
JAC Motors Addresses European Fleet Requirements
For European logistics operators, fleet renewal has shifted significantly in recent years.
With the EU’s CO2 fleet targets for trucks and vans now locked in, commercial vehicles on European roads will gradually move toward electric power over the next decade.
The transition involves more than replacing diesel vehicles with battery-powered models. Charging infrastructure, total cost of ownership and systematic changes to fleet operations are also part of the shift.
JAC Motors’ European strategy is positioned around this changing fleet environment, with its growing service and distribution network intended to support its vehicle range in key markets.
Building Trust in the European Market
For Chinese commercial-vehicle brands, trust remains a hurdle in Europe. Product specifications can be compared, but reliability, service capability and long-term commitment take time to prove.
JAC Motors responds to these expectations with 62 years of accumulated experience.
The company’s expanding European network, fleet partnerships and establishment of JAC Motors Italy form part of its efforts to build a longer-term presence in the region.
Outlook
JAC Motors’ four-model display at IAA Transportation 2026 demonstrates the expansion of its European electrified commercial vehicle strategy since 2024. The line-up combines the N90 EV, N42 EV, SUNRAY PRO and T9 PHEV, covering electric trucks, an electric panel van and a plug-in hybrid pickup.
The company is also continuing to expand its European sales, service and distribution network while working with major fleet operators. Its R&D expenditure of 8.99% of revenue in 2025, together with its target of reducing operators’ total operating costs by 10–15%, supports its focus on commercial fleet requirements as Europe moves toward greater electrification.
