JAC Motors has launched the new T6 2.0L CTi 1-tonne single-cab bakkie priced from R299,900 (VAT incl.). Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel fuel-efficient engine, the bakkie is capable of withstanding the demanding conditions of large-scale transport fleet operations in harsh environments.

"Our new T6 single-cab workhorse is a rugged, value-for-money all-rounder, combining comfort with a proven, fuel-efficient turbo-diesel engine. Its versatility suits urban, open-road and demanding fleet applications, meeting transport operators' and entrepreneurs' needs for durability, dependability and low maintenance costs," says Karl-Heinz Göbel, CEO of JAC Motors South Africa.
Featuring a 2.0-litre direct-injection common-rail turbo-diesel engine with an intercooler and Electrical Variable Geometry Turbocharger (EVGT), the new T6 delivers 102 kW @ 3,600 rpm and 320 Nm torque.
Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, the powerplant delivers all available torque across its powerband. With an average fuel consumption of 6.9L/100 km (combined cycle), its 76-litre tank provides an approximate range of over 1,100 kilometres, meeting diverse customer needs from heavy loads to urban commuting.
"The T6's fuel consumption is exceptional, as its low torque curve enables earlier shifts and fewer gear changes," says Göbel. "In local combined-cycle testing, we recorded consumption as low as 6.1L/100 km, and just 8.0L/100 km with a 750 kg load. Fuel efficiency is the top buying motivator for workhorse bakkies, and the new T6 delivers exactly what the transport industry needs."
With a 1,000 kg payload, the new T6 single-cab features a spacious 2,260 mm × 1,520 mm × 470 mm load box, finished with an anti-scratch, corrosion-resistant sprayed bed liner. Standard features include external rope hooks, cargo tie-down hooks and a rear step bumper. The Lux derivative adds a cab protector with cargo tie-down functionality. Its 245/65 R17 tyres enhance load capacity, reduce understeer and improve braking when laden. The maximum towing capacity (braked) is rated at 1,400 kg.
"The new T6 single-cab offers buyers a reliable workhorse option with a proven engine and drivetrain, excellent gravel-road ability, a comfortable cab and a generously sized load box, enhancing versatility and practicality in demanding everyday working conditions," adds Göbel.
The T6 single-cab's spacious cabin and practical interior provide a comfortable, relaxing drive, with standard features including power steering, air-conditioning, electric windows and a height-adjustable, leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel.
JAC Motors dealers offer an approved range of canopies, cattle rails and accessories to enhance the T6 single-cab's functionality and versatility.
