Under the first arrangement, an unnamed Italian equipment and fleet solutions specialist will receive JAC Motors’ N42 EV light trucks for zero-emission urban deliveries in cities in Italy.
A second agreement was reached with the Sector 3 municipal authority in Bucharest, covering a bulk order of the same N42 EV model for Romania’s urban sanitation fleet.
JAC Motors stated the vehicles would back the country’s move towards carbon-neutral municipal cleaning services.
This latest order extends a relationship with JAC Motors’ Romanian partner going back to 2005, over which period roughly 400 specialised vehicles and utility machines have gone to Bucharest’s municipal authorities for emergency response, sanitation and roadside assistance duties.
Testing of fully electric sanitation vehicles got under way in 2025, with over a year of operational trials preceding the bulk order.
A third deal was signed with a Serbian commercial vehicle dealer, described as one of the foremost dealers in the Balkans, which will extend JAC Motors’ sales and service reach throughout South-east Europe.
JAC Motors also highlighted several commercial vehicle rollouts elsewhere.
Tdycom Logistics, a Spanish operator handling hazardous materials and urban logistics, has brought the N75 EV light truck into its 40-strong fleet operating in Madrid and Barcelona.
In Brazil, DHL has started operating JAC Motors’ N Series electric box-body light truck for urban express delivery, representing the company’s first purchase of a Chinese light truck brand in South America.
PepsiCo, meanwhile, has chosen JAC Motors electric truck for distributing beverages and snacks after closed-road testing.
Grupo Bimbo has ordered close to 2,000 electric vans in Mexico through a tender process, while Singapore Airlines has brought the T9 EV pickup into service at Changi Airport.
