HEIFEI, Chine - Jeudi 13 Août 2015 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Les exportations de JAC Motors, pionnière sur le marché, ont enregistré une croissance annuelle de 41% durant le premier semestre de 2015. Le volume des exportations de l’entreprise s’est hissé à la troisième position en Chine avec un total de près de 40 000 unités et il n’a pas été affecté par la faible croissance économique.

Malgré la croissance modérée de l’économie globale, les marchés émergents et ceux en voie de développement sont en train de se rétablir lentement. Les exportations automobiles de la Chine étaient censées diminuer de 12% au cours de la première moitié de 2015 à cause d’une faible demande et du taux de change élevé du RMB qui causera à son tour une diminution de la production automobile du pays.

Au niveau de l’exportation de camions, JAC a exporté plus de 8 000 unités de ses camions utilitaires légers en amélioration continue parmi lesqu ... Read more »

HEFEI, China - Thursday, August 13th 2015 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Leading the industry, JAC Motors’ export grew by 41% year on year during H1 2015. The company’s export size jumped to the third position in China with a total of nearly 40,000 units, undeterred by slow economic growth.

Although the global economy has risen moderately, the emerging and developing markets are recovering slowly. In H1 2015, China’s automobile export was predicted to decrease by 12% due to weak demand and the rising RMB exchange rate, which in turn will cause a reduction in the country’s automotive production.

In terms of truck export, JAC exported over 8,000 of its continuously optimized light-duty trucks, among which the high-end N series have accounted for up to 86% of all exported light-duty trucks. In markets such as Algeria and Chile, JAC trucks remained the largest Chinese exporting brand. JAC was also a leading automotive exporter in the Sout ... Read more »
