JAC Motors México steps on the accelerator to increase the capacity of its plant in Ciudad Sahagún, Hidalgo, with four new assembly lines and the goal of reaching sales of up to 30 thousand vehicles this year, he recently stated. Isidoro Massrigeneral director of the company in the country.
“We are calculating a growth of approximately 23,000 to 30,000 units, but not as an objective to be met at all costs; If the market asks for it, it goes, because we are not looking for that market share at all costs,” he declared.
Last year JAC Motors Mexico sold 21,067 light vehicles in the country, which represented an annual increase of 28.8 percent compared to the accumulated sales for all of 2022. If this year’s estimate is realized, JAC’s sales would be one 42.4 percent above.
The manufacturer expands its vehicle production capacity at its Hidalgo plant with new lines in demand in the country, both light, commercial and electrical units.
“Today at the plant we are about to open four additional assembly lines, where this will take us to a capacity of 60 thousand units and that will allow us to be plenty in terms of capacity for what Mexico requires, but ready for wherever.” We want to arrive in the next five or seven years, and be prepared as a Mexican assembly plant thinking about the national market,” added Massri.
He highlighted that these new lines have the capacity to assemble any vehicle, from electric and combustion, both light and heavy. In that sense, he pointed out that one of every two vehicles that a family has in the next three years will be electric or plug-in hybrid, which is why he highlighted that Mexico will play an important role in the industry and in the growth of the manufacturer.
