The JAC T9 EV has been officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the pioneer in battery electric vehicle (BEV) 4×4 pick-up trucks in Malaysia. Distributed by Evolvelectric Motors, the JAC T9 EV was launched in March alongside the diesel-powered regular T9.
“This recognition and award by the Malaysia Book of Records affirms our leadership in driving innovation in the pick-up market. The T9 EV sets a new standard for what electric pick-ups can deliver in Malaysia,” said Evolvelectric Motors CEO Lau Yit Mun
The T9 EV represents a bold move toward electrification in a segment traditionally dominated by internal combustion engines. It is designed to meet the demands of commercial, fleet and lifestyle users looking to transition to zero-emission transport without compromising on performance, the company said in a statement.
The T9 EV has two motors – a 95 PS unit in front and a 218 PS unit at the back. Together, they make 516 Nm of torque for 0-100 km/h in 8.4 seconds and a top speed of 140 km/h. The 88 kWh LFP battery, which yields a 340 km WLTP range, can be charged at a max rate of 88 kW DC (15-80% in 45 minutes) or 11 kW AC (15-100% in 8.5 hours). It’s priced at RM199,888 on-the-road before insurance – recap our launch report here.
