JAC Motors introduced four new commercial electric vehicle models at the 2026 IAA Transportation show in Hanover. The brand is expanding its European footprint as it builds on its current 41% market share in the Spanish medium-duty electric truck segment.
Why it matters
The manufacturer has developed specific vehicle configurations to match European urban road conditions and policy environments, offering new options for fleets and specialized transport operators. These vehicles integrate localized design elements from the company's Italian operations hub to improve cargo logistics and loading efficiency.
JAC Motors holds a 41% share of Spain's medium-duty electric truck market from January through June 2026, while the new N90 EV model provides a 9-tonne capacity and 180km WLTP range.
The players
JAC Motors
An Anhui, China-based manufacturer expanding its commercial electric vehicle presence across Europe.
Santander
A financial institution providing lending support for commercial vehicle buyers.
Infore Environment
A partner company specializing in vehicle body applications for sanitation and municipal services.
The details
The SUNRAY PRO model features a 495mm load height and 270-degree rear door opening angle, design choices refined by the Turin-based team to ease daily loading. The N42 EV model utilizes a 77.28kWh CATL battery pack, while the T9 PHEV delivers 385kW of power with a 3,500kg towing capacity and 1,000km combined range. The company also collaborates with European bodybuilders to customize these platforms for sanitation, refrigerated transport, and rescue services.
Timeline

The Home Front
This move marks a significant expansion of commercial-grade electric options in the European market as fleets adapt to stricter urban emission standards. It follows a pattern set by the EU's transition toward electric commercial logistics to meet municipal air quality goals.
Business owners considering these models should review the 180km range of the N90 EV against their daily local routing needs. Consult with the manufacturer's financing partners, such as Santander or CreditPlus, to understand lease terms and available incentive programs for commercial fleet upgrades.
The takeaway
The JAC Motors portfolio is now tailored to European logistics with vehicles ranging from the 9-tonne N90 EV to the high-capacity T9 plug-in hybrid. Commercial operators should document their daily route distances to determine which EV range and payload specifications best suit their needs.
