JAC Motors has undergone a significant strategic shift in the Brazilian automotive market. Initially, the company focused on expanding its commercial presence through JAC Caminhões, launching a distribution network of 30 dealerships for diesel-powered trucks ranging from 9 to 25 tonnes. The company aimed to capture 3% of the national truck market within three years.

However, the company has since transitioned to a repositioning strategy that involves withdrawing its passenger car lineup and reducing its physical dealership footprint. While certain electric models like the E-JS4 and E-J7 have been discontinued, the company is consolidating operations into fewer primary sales points in São Paulo, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre. Moving forward, JAC Motors intends to concentrate its Brazilian operations on the commercial vehicle and pickup truck segments, specifically prioritizing diesel-powered pickups and electric options.
