JAC SA reintroduced a previously available engine option for the entry-level JAC T6 bakkie . Familiar heart The beneficiary of a new petrol engine, the JAC T6 also received a second oil-burning heart supplementing the Volkswagen-derived unit already available. Hailing from JAC’s now long since dissolved partnership with Isuzu, the Japanese marque’s stalwart 2.8-litre oil-burner resides underneath the bonnet, but while larger than the mentioned 1.9 sourced from Wolfsburg, has both less power and torque. Hooked to a five-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed in four-wheel-drive derivative, the unit delivers 68kW/210Nm versus the 100kW/320Nm made by the newer 1.9 TDI. Claimed fuel consumption is 7.9 L/100 km for the two-wheel-drive and 10.5 L/100 km for the 4×4, with payload for both rated at 900 kg. Sporting a 1 520 mm × 1 520 mm × 470 mm load box, which JAC claims is the biggest in its class, the T6 can tow 2,000 kg and comes with a ground clearance of 197 mm, regardless of the wheels th...

 JAC Motors is working on the world’s first sodium-ion battery car China’s JAC Group, which markets the T6, T8 and X200 bakkies in South Africa , has unveiled the world’s first electric car powered by a sodium-ion battery. But what’s the big deal here? According to the carmaker, this technology could be a game-changer for the EV industry as sodium-ion batteries are cheaper than the lithium-ion units that are commonly used, and potentially more sustainable as they rely on a far more abundant resource. While the scarcity and cost of lithium have been a monumental challenge to the industry, sodium-ion batteries use cheaper raw materials and have been touted as a potential alternative that could help reduce EV production costs by 10%. There are disadvantages, however, the biggest hurdle is that they have a lower energy density than lithium-ion batteries, meaning the equivalent size battery will offer a lower range between charges. However, despite this JAC claims that its new Hua Xianz...
