Start with what the JAC Van Baolu is: a 4-door van, built from 2024, in the decade the industry is turning electric. What it meant takes a little longer.
Where it came from
The JAC Van Baolu (Chinese: Van 宝路) is a battery electric van designed and produced by the Chinese automaker JAC Group since 2024. It was designed for urban distribution in the commercial logistics industry.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a 4-door van — and the layout: the engine hangs behind the rear axle, a layout that gives ferocious traction out of a corner and a reputation to match on the way in. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
In context
In the JAC Group line-up the JAC Van Baolu has a clear place: the factory was China. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Z, the Kia EV6. Nearby in the JAC Group catalogue sit the Heyue A20 and the Heyue A30.
