WHILE JAC Cars may be one of the youngest brands in the Philippines, its parent company, JAC Motors, celebrated its 60th anniversary on May 20, 2024. Founded in 1964 as the Hefei Jianghuai Automobile Factory, JAC Motors has evolved into a global manufacturer and distributor of passenger and commercial vehicles, trusted by over 10 million customers across 132 countries.
Notable milestones include the production of the first JAC truck in April 1968 and China's first bus-specific chassis in June 1990. In March 2002, the brand rolled out its first MPV, and by January 2008, JAC Motors made its debut in the passenger car market. In the first quarter of 2024, JAC Motors officially joined the Astara Group, one of the world's leading mobility providers, to enhance its presence in the Philippines.
