JND began engine operations in 2013 to meet the needs of the Chinese commercial truck market by providing JAC with access to Navistar’s emissions-compliant engine technology. Prior to the opening of the new plant, engine localisation and assembly was done at JAC’s plant in Hefei. These operations will move to the new joint venture factory, also in Hefei.

“Our collaborative efforts to bring the latest in clean engine technology to China have resulted in a strong, successful and profitable operation from the very start,” said Troy Clarke, president and chief executive officer, Navistar International Corporation.

JAC and Navistar received formal approval for their joint venture from China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in August 2012. In May 2013, engine manufacturing for the joint venture began at JAC’s facilities. The first engine was a JAC-designed 2.8-litre diesel engine. JND production of its 3.2- and 4.8-litre engines then began in the fall of 2013.
