As the global automotive industry transitions toward new energy, the new energy pickup truck sector is thriving, and major automakers are eager to get involved. On the occasion of the 47th National Tree Planting Day, the long-prepared JAC Pickup has once again made a "big move," with the first batch of 300 Hunter EV units delivered in bulk to the power system. So how strong is the underlying capability that has made the Hunter EV so popular before its official launch? Next, let us take a look at the "green" profile of the Hunter EV.
Dedicated platform architecture, dual front and rear motors for stronger performance
After years of exploration, China's new energy pickup truck industry has gradually entered a new stage of industrialization and marketization, and pickup truck companies represented by JAC Pickup are leveraging important advantages in this round of transformation. The Hunter EV is built on a dedicated platform architecture for mid-to-large intelligent passenger pickup trucks, built on a native pure electric platform, leading new energy pickups forward at an accelerated pace.
Relying on JAC Motors' 60 years of accumulated chassis R&D and manufacturing experience, this platform not only inherits advantages in chassis structure, drivetrain matching, suspension system, manufacturing assurance, and performance tuning, but also took into account the installation layout of the battery and electric drive system from the very beginning of design. It is a "trump card" for JAC Pickup in developing new energy.
Thanks to this platform architecture, the Hunter EV possesses inherent advantages: dual front and rear motor drive, maximum torque of 516N·m, plus a 2-longitudinal 9-transverse variable-section stitch-welded ladder frame, and an integrated new energy pickup chassis jointly tuned by veteran chassis masters, delivering a stronger driving experience.
In the face of complex and changing terrain and roads in power operation and maintenance, emergency command, civil aviation support, and municipal inspection, the Hunter EV's powerful performance gives drivers a stronger sense of assurance, while its excellent load-bearing capacity ensures that all equipment and materials can be transported in one vehicle, greatly improving convenience and practicality.
500km+ range, say goodbye to range anxiety
In the new energy era, with the needs of daily transportation and the expansion of business scope, only sufficient vehicle "energy" can get you there. The Hunter EV offers excellent range performance, with CLTC pure electric range exceeding 500km. Whether for urban use or field maintenance, it lets you bid farewell to the trouble of frequent recharging, say goodbye to range anxiety, and enjoy lower usage costs.
The 500km ultra-long range capability comes from the Hunter EV's strong three-electric system. It is equipped with CATL's latest generation lithium iron phosphate battery, with a battery capacity of 88KWh, one of the largest among domestic pickup models in the same class, plus a high-efficiency electric drive system, and fast charging from 30% to 80% takes only about 30 minutes—a quick trip to the restroom easily solves the range needs.
For most industries, this range capability and charging speed are sufficient to meet the needs of daily commuting and commercial travel scenarios, covering 99% of the 250km living circle and business circle. Moreover, the Hunter EV can travel worry-free in temperatures from -30℃ to 65℃, withstanding the "test" of severe cold and heat.
In addition, the Hunter EV's power battery has very high ground clearance, adopts IP68-level dustproof and waterproof sealing standards, and is equipped with a protective plate, ensuring safe and reliable use under various road conditions. The 3.3KW intelligent external discharge function meets power needs anytime and anywhere, providing more convenience for field operations.
The Hunter EV is a heavyweight answer from JAC Pickup in its innovative practice during the "second half" of automotive new energy and intelligentization. JAC Pickup will further develop the intelligent new energy pickup market, focusing on breakthroughs in key core technologies such as platform architecture and smart cockpits, creating higher value for users and contributing more to lucid waters and lush mountains.
