JAC N90-EV paving the way for Electric Trucks
JAC has been making serious strides in the EV game, and we can’t help but get excited about the possibilities. The JAC N90 EV truck is a shining example of how the automaker is rethinking commercial transport, bringing together electric efficiency, practical functionality, and smart safety features. While it’s not available in South Africa yet, we’re watching with interest to see if it might make its way here in the future.
Built For Real-World Challenges
When it comes to electric trucks, some people still have their doubts. Can they handle a full day’s work? Are they practical for businesses? Will they leave you stranded with no charge? The N90 EV makes a solid case for why electric is
the future of commercial transport. With a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 9000kg and a powerful 171kW peak motor delivering a hefty 1050Nm of torque, this is a truck built to do some serious heavy lifting.
One of the standout features is its hill climb gradeability of 30%. Whether you’re hauling goods in an urban setting or navigating trickier terrain, the JAC N90 EV is designed to handle it with ease. Thanks to a lithium-iron-phosphate battery from CATL, this truck is engineered for durability and reliability, ensuring smooth operation even under demanding conditions.
DID YOU KNOW? As of 2019, there were approximately 406.8 million trucks and buses registered globally. In 2022, global commercial vehicle production, which includes trucks, vans, and buses, reached around 23.7 million units. In the United States alone, there were 14.33 million single-unit and combination trucks registered in 2022, accounting for 5% of all motor vehicles registered in the country.
A Driving Experience That’s Future-Forward
Stepping into the cab of the N90 EV, it’s clear that JAC has prioritised driver comfort and ease of use. The cabin is spacious, visibility is excellent, and the large TFT digital display provides all the crucial driving data at a glance. Unlike traditional diesel trucks, there’s no noisy engine or emissions to deal with—just a smooth, quiet ride that makes urban deliveries far more pleasant.
One unique aspect of the N90 EV is its regenerative braking system, which helps extend battery life by capturing and reusing energy every time you slow down. This makes it not only an efficient workhorse but also a cost-saver over time.
Safety And Practicality Go Hand In Hand
JAC has packed the N90 EV with a host of safety features that make it a smart choice for businesses looking to future-proof their fleets.
- Auto Emergency Braking System (AEBS). Helps prevent collisions by detecting obstacles and applying the brakes when necessary.
- Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). Alerts the driver if the truck unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Keeps the truck steady even in challenging driving conditions.
- Reverse camera and radar system. Enhances visibility and makes reversing safer, especially in tight spaces.
These features make the N90 EV a strong contender in the electric commercial vehicle segment, offering both peace of mind and convenience.
The Road Ahead For JAC’s Electric Trucks
The global shift towards sustainable transport is gaining momentum, and JAC is firmly in the race. With governments around the world offering incentives for EV adoption, we’re keeping an eye on how JAC’s electric trucks will continue to develop. The N90 EV is already proving itself overseas, and we’re eager to see where JAC takes this innovation next.
