JAC Electric Car: A New Choice of Pure Electric Vehicles in a Global Perspective

Founded in 1964, JAC Motors is a globalized comprehensive automotive enterprise group integrating the production, research and development, sales and service of commercial vehicles and passenger cars, and has been an important force in promoting the rise of China’s automotive industry. As a pioneer in China’s new energy automobile industry and driven by the wave of intelligent new energy, JAC car company insisted on R&D and innovation, launched a new energy project in 2002, and produced the first batch of iEV pure electric sedans in 2009, becoming one of the earliest Chinese automobile enterprises to promote pure electric passenger cars. After more than 20 years of development, JAC has completed the accumulation of electrification technology and the layout of intelligent industry, and created the first CNAS-accredited “Key Laboratory of Automotive Intelligent Internet Connection Technology” in China. JAC car is committed to becoming a global leader in intelligent vehicles by taking intelligence as the basis, breaking through the boundaries, and constantly refreshing the technology.

JAC automobile has a number of intelligent manufacturing production bases, and its China headquarters is located in Hefei, Anhui Province, which redefines the manufacturing standard of new energy vehicles with “greening, digitizing, leaning, and transparency”. The stamping workshop in the plant has Asia’s largest 6,000-ton servo press, which is capable of realizing steel and aluminum production operations, and the switching time of the production line can be achieved in less than 4 minutes; in the welding workshop, 500 sets of robots work automatically, and the overall automation rate can reach 97.5%, and in the plant, there is also the country’s first all-aluminum car body line; The factory has introduced AGV and SPS flexible logistics management system, which can realize the intelligent management and monitoring of the whole vehicle production process and improve the overall operation progress, in addition, it can also support C2B customized service; JAC Motors has also built its own three major workshops of vehicle battery module, flat wire stator and domain control SMT for the pure electric vehicle models, which can realize the annual production capacity of more than 15GWh. In addition to a number of vehicle manufacturing bases in China, JAC motor company has also constructed its own factories overseas, including the Kostanai plant in Kazakhstan, which is the only passenger car plant with welding and painting in the region, and whose production capacity can radiate the demand of the five Central Asian countries. The joint-venture plant in Hidalgo, Mexico, realizes the full chain of local vehicle welding, painting, and assembly technologies. The KD factories in Vietnam and Nigeria are able to adjust the models according to the local regional demand.

JAC’s R&D system can be summarized as “1+2+N”. JAC’s China Technical Research Center is located in Hefei, Anhui Province, which is a state-recognized enterprise technology center and a national industrial design center, and is mainly responsible for JAC’s vehicle integration, three-electricity technology, intelligent Internet connection, thermal management and validation system. In 2005, JAC established the Italian Design Center in Turin, Italy, which is the world’s sixth largest independent automotive design organization and is mainly responsible for forward-looking styling and vehicle aerodynamic capabilities; in 2006, the Design Center in Tokyo, Japan, was officially landed, and its research focuses on vehicle interiors, colors, and HMI. At present, JAC Motors is also cooperating with major universities and enterprises at home and abroad to build joint laboratories to provide continuous power for the development of new energy vehicles.

The core benefits of JAC’s pure electric models include:

  1. Battery pack safety capability: JAC pure electric vehicles adopt a parallel development strategy of lithium iron phosphate and lithium ternary batteries, and its self-developed intelligent liquid-cooling and thermostatic technology can stabilize the temperature of the battery pack between 10°C and 36°C, which is able to effectively prevent the battery from aging. Currently his third generation battery life can reach 1 million kilometers, which can cover the full life cycle of the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle’s cellular battery technology, the use of UE pack coverage to achieve electrical isolation and thermal isolation between the battery cells, with a five-layer safety protection system to build a complete safety barrier. The battery pack is paired with ultra-charging technology that can achieve a 500km range in 15 minutes of charging, easing users’ mileage anxiety.
  2. Vehicle safety capabilities: JAC vehicles use the MUSE Co-Creative Intelligent Electric Architecture to create pure electric models, which not only supports pure electric models, but also supports hybrid and other multi-technology routes, ensuring that the vehicle is leading in range, performance and intelligence. The vehicle body has passed the five-star test of ANCAP, and also meets multiple crash regulations in Europe, the United States and Australia. The vehicle also has 12 active safety capabilities across the board, and its BSD, RCTA, VDC and other functions have covered the full range of scenarios, including urban, highway and off-road.
