JAC Motors Australia managing director Jason Pecotic said the latest dealer appointment in Melbourne’s suburb of Ringwood joins West End JAC in NSW and Westpoint JAC in Queensland.

The new dealership is operated by a new automotive retail business, Vision E Mobility Group.

The addition of JAC Trucks Melbourne gives operators access to sales and service of JAC’s N55 (5.5-tonne GVM) electric trucks launched earlier this year, and for larger models including the N75 (7.5-tonne) and N90 (9 tonne) trucks that are already planned for launch in future months.

Mr Pecotic said the expanding network and the commitment to import new models enhances buyer access to the full-electric JAC truck models.

“This broad range of EV trucks reinforces the brand’s dedication to providing a comprehensive range of options tailored to various needs and industries,” he said.

“In the coming months JAC Motors will detail an extensive retail network to support the launch of its T9 Pickup, looking to establish multiple dealerships in densely populated metropolitan areas and regional cities to ensure its burgeoning range is accessible to a wide range of customers.”

He said he was “humbled” by the number and calibre of dealer applications received as the brand expanded its network.

“Our priority now is to select the right dealers who can become our long-term partners and possess the necessary infrastructure and capacity to sell and service JAC Motors vehicles and its customers,” he said.

“Securing a partner like Vision E Mobility Group who have a desire to participate in the decarbonisation of road transport is a testament to our product and long-term vision to offer Australians a fresh approach to heavy vehicle transportation.”

Vision E Mobility Group director Lee Matenga said JAC Motors’ commitment to innovation and sustainability “aligns perfectly with our own values.”

“This collaboration represents a significant step towards greener and more efficient transportation solutions for Australia.”

Mr Pecotic said that further dealership announcements will be made in the future as the brand expands.
