JAC is ramping up its push into Australia’s competitive dual-cab ute market with a limited-time offer aimed squarely at tradies and work-focused buyers, bundling a $4000 fuel incentive with purchase of its T9. The deal ends on 30 June so those buyers looking to cash in on some free diesel have time.

Key to the building of a challenger brand in a market dominated by the likes of Ranger and HiLux is after-sales support, with Australians wanting to ensure not just the reliability of their vehicles but also the security that is something does go wrong, it will be fixed and fixed quickly.

JAC has had some early hiccups in this market, but reckons its got the after sales offering to increase sales. Beyond the current fuel voucher offer, JAC has built a comprehensive ownership program
designed to reduce downtime for those drivers who do use their dual cab for work. Key features include a seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, which includes commercial use.

There’s also a ute-for-ute warranty loan program, where if the dual cab is off the road for warranty repairs, JAC provides another tow bar-equipped T9 at no cost. Seven-year capped price servicing is also included, which in the case of the T9 costs $3069 across 84 months or 105,000km. Services are required every 12 months or 15,000km.

JAC says it accesses parts via a local parts warehouse and an Australia-based supply chain team, and buyers also get seven years of 24/76 roadside assistance.

Managing Director Ahmed Mahmoud doubled down on the brand’s commitment to Aussie owners. “We built the T9 to give Australians what they actually need, a capable, reliable ute that shows up every day,” Mahmoud said. “And if something does go wrong, we back our drivers with support that keeps them moving.”

To access the $4000 fuel voucher offer, you’ll need to purchase and have delivered a new HAC T9 between May 1 and June 30, with JAC also allowing the customer to opt for the $4000 as a discount from the purchase price if they would prefer. Demonstrator vehicles aren’t included and neither are government or rental buyers.
