JAC

Contents History of the JAC brand Owners and management Model range JAC is one of the five largest automobile manufacturers in China. The company's factories have the ability to produce 500 cars per year. In 2019, together with the Volkswagen concern, it is planned to start construction of a joint plant, on the assembly line of which electric vehicles for the Chinese market will be assembled. In 2020, it was planned to build another plant in Russia. This factory will have to meet the needs for special equipment - light trucks and loaders. The history of the JAC brand In 1964, the Jianghuai Automobile Plant appeared in the Chinese city of Hefei. This company specialized in the production of trucks with a small tonnage. In order to expand its product line, a separate division was created, which would be engaged in the manufacture of a different category of transport. The new brand appeared in 1999, but it only started producing cars 3 years later. The reason was the long preparation of the conveyor: it was necessary to purchase a lot of new equipment, because the main facilities were already outdated. In the first year of production, more than 120 thousand copies of all kinds of equipment rolled off the assembly line of the brand. Initially, the main profile of the company was commercial transport: trucks, buses, as well as special equipment. Here are the main milestones in the development of the brand: 2003 - the company buys from Isuzu Motors the right to produce trucks, as well as diesel engines based on their technology. The power units of this development were equipped with the first minibuses of the brand - model N. 2004 - the company enters into an agreement with Hyundai, which becomes a technology partner. The first joint model - ss. This minibus was built on the basis of drawings of a similar bead from Hyundai - Starex. In addition to cooperation with the South Korean company JAC produces trucks. The most common is the HFC model. In this category, vehicles with all-wheel drive, as well as 6-wheel drive with 4-wheel drive. The carrying capacity of special equipment is 2,5-25 tons. At the same time, the brand creates a wide variety of buses, ranging from small city models to large, comfortable options for tourism. 2008 - 30 percent of commercial vehicles sold in the Chinese market are JAC products. Starting this year, the company decides to expand its model range by starting to produce passenger vehicles. To create a decent car, the automaker is once again working with a South Korean partner. The first joint production car was the Rein model, which was based on the South Korean counterpart SantaFe. The difference between these SUVs was the “stuffing” of the novelty, for example, in a different suspension. All-wheel drive variants were equipped with a more rigid modification to improve stability on Chinese roads. 2009 - Italian design studio Pininfarina creates the bodywork for the Tojoy urban car, which will be rolled out next year. The engine that comes with the car has a volume of 1,3 liters. This is either a standard Chinese-made motor with 99 horsepower, or an analogue with 93 horsepower. from Mitsubishi. The license for this model was acquired by a Russian car company in Taganrog, and is selling it as the Tagaz C10. 2010 - the beginning of the development of their own electric car J3 EV. In a fairly short period of time, engineers were able to present a working version, which was shown at an automobile exhibition in Beijing. By the way, the development of the hybrid crossover Rav4 was not done without the participation of specialists from JAC. 2012 - An agreement is signed with another automaker (Toyota), which improves the efficiency of SUVs and creates new generations of buses. Today, JAC factories produce transmissions, chassis for buses and frames for trucks. Together with other auto companies, the production of passenger and off-road versions of cars continues. Owners and management Although the company was established from the Hefei Jianghuai Automobile Factory, it is a state-owned company. Unlike brands such as Ford or Toyota, this company is controlled by the Chinese government, so government orders are carried out first of all at its factories. Since any government is interested in creating high-quality national cars, the management closely monitors compliance with norms and standards, not only regarding technical issues, but also safety and comfort for passengers. The company's shares are controlled by the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
