Driven by the dual goals of “dual carbon” and cost reduction & efficiency improvement, the new energy logistics vehicle market is undergoing a crucial leap from quantitative change to qualitative change. On July 30, JAC Commercial Vehicles held a high-standard launch conference, officially announcing the arrival of the all-series, all-scenario, and full-value new products of JAC 1van. This is not only a product upgrade aimed at creating higher value for users, but also a profound practice of the high-quality development of the commercial vehicle industry, leading the new energy logistics vehicle into the 3.0 era.
All-series Layout: Building a Product Ecological Moat
As the penetration rate of new energy commercial vehicles breaks through the key node of 20%, the market has bid farewell to the extensive stage of “relying on a single model to conquer the world”. Based on research on real user scenarios, JAC 1van innovatively builds a full-series product matrix including truck series, VAN series, and unmanned series, covering the full volume demand from 3 to 16 cubic meters, providing users with efficient, flexible, and green urban distribution transportation solutions.
Specifically, the truck series is divided into two major series: Kaida EX6 and Kaida U7, meeting the needs of low-frequency heavy loads in cities and high-frequency transportation between cities respectively; the Van series products are divided into Blue Cat (6-7 cubic meters of mainstream volume) and Van Baolu (over 8 cubic meters). Among them, Blue Cat focuses on flexible and diverse urban logistics vehicles, covering same-city freight, business express, etc.; Van Baolu focuses on efficient and professional urban logistics vehicles, creating professional logistics transportation between cities; Kara unmanned vehicles focus on end distribution logistics, enabling the intelligent upgrade of the “last kilometer” and closed scenarios.
All-scenario Empowerment: Deconstructing a New Paradigm of Logistics Operation
Currently, the urban distribution scenarios have undergone fission. The innovation of JAC 1van lies in that the truck series, VAN series, and unmanned series have all been deeply optimized for different scenarios. For example, Kaida EX6 has a mountain heavy-load version, a double-row public service version, a platform customized version, an underground garage box truck version, and a refrigerated version, meeting diverse needs; Kaida U7 has an intercity logistics version and a refrigerated version, improving operation efficiency with the advantages of long battery life and high load capacity; Blue Cat has newly launched a passenger version, meeting both commercial and household needs; Van Baolu has V8, V10, and refrigerated versions; Kara unmanned vehicles have taken the lead in launching express and business versions.
JAC 1van does not simply pursue the “parameter competition”, but pays more attention to the innovative design of usage scenarios. For example, in the intercity heavy-load scenario, the configuration of the large 66 kWh battery capacity of the Kaida EX6 series effectively solves the problem of range anxiety of new energy models under heavy-load working conditions; the Blue Cat series adopts a 1007mm ultra-wide sliding door and a 2.1-ton high-load design, helping to “carry more and run faster”; the Van Baolu series achieves a loading breakthrough of 25% more per trip through a 10-cubic-meter super large volume and lightweight design, and cooperates with fast charging technology to greatly improve the daily operation efficiency; Kara unmanned vehicles have achieved commercial operation in multiple factory areas, with the distribution efficiency increased by more than 30% and the labor cost reduced by more than 20%.
Full-value Reconstruction: Defining a New Standard for TCO Competition
In a market environment where price wars are intensifying, JAC 1van expands the competition dimension from the purchase cost to the full-life-cycle value. At the hardware level, for those who purchase all models of JAC VAN truck new energy series, they can enjoy a lifetime warranty, completely eliminating the doubts about car purchase; at the service level, in the first year of car purchase, users can enjoy 24-hour free rescue, and all series of models are given 2 free basic maintenance services, etc., allowing truck drivers to use the vehicles without worries; there are also multi-dimensional empowerments such as finance, cargo sources, and residual value, building a “car purchase – car use – value addition” closed loop, redefining the new value standard.
This full-value thinking is also reflected in the in-depth excavation of operation data. Under the main theme of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the logistics industry, JAC 1van masters leading three-electric technology, intelligent chassis technology, chocolate battery swapping technology, solid-state battery technology, and Huawei assisted driving technology, creating more value for users with five leading technologies; the unmanned vehicle products have taken the lead in realizing the implementation of L4-level intelligent driving assistance in end distribution scenarios, promoting the evolution of new energy logistics vehicles to intelligent mobile terminals.
As the new energy logistics vehicle enters the stage of intensive cultivation, the “three-full” strategy of JAC 1van, demonstrating the all-series layout capability, all-scenario solution, and full-value creation capability, not only wins the market opportunity for it, but also points out the path of high-quality development for the industry. When product innovation, scenario empowerment, and value reconstruction form a joint force, JAC 1van, which understands you better, will surely become the leader of the new generation of smart logistics!
