MEET JAC: 60+ YEARS OF JAC & PROUDLY BACKED BY KIWIS
Hi, we’re JAC, which we pronounce like the good old classic name “Jack”.
While JAC has been flying under the radar here in NZ until recently, JAC is already proven internationally – as a top commercial exporter to 132 countries, JAC has been a premium truck maker for 60+ years and knows and thing or two about commercial vehicles.
We look forward to getting to know you & sharing the ‘JAC of All Trades’ with Kiwis from Kiwis, with our NZ-owned and – operated team.

JAC is proudly backed by Kiwis. We’ve made sure that every product we bring here to NZ has been thoroughly tested for Kiws by Kiwis… whether that’s been driving our EV truck around town until it ran flat, making sure the T9 was fit for 4WDing, right through to the toughest test of all… a roadie with kids in the back seat!
JAC Motors new Zealand is backed by NZ Automotive Ltd (NZAL) who are proudly NZ-owned and -operated. Our Kiwi dealership network is also backed by Kiwis and we think that’s pretty neat.
