JAC Motors added ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to its X200 2.8L TDI 1.5-tonne single-cab, enhancing safety for both the crew and cargo. This latest upgrade complements the ABS-equipped X200 1.3-tonne double-cab targeted at organisations with labour-intensive operations.
The X-Series includes two 1.5-tonne single-cab and two 1.3-tonne double-cab derivatives. The X200 double-cab offers seating for six people, an unmatched product offering in the local market. The X-Series is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder direct-injection, inter-cooled, turbo-diesel engine, with customers being able to choose between 68kW (210Nm) or 80kW (240Nm) derivatives.
A forward-cab design is more practical than a standard bakkie. Its main benefit is the increased load box size, which results in much larger load volumes. The X200 single-cab's load box measures almost 2.8 metres and supports a large load area of 4.595mm².
Its cargo area of 2.785mm (length) x 1.650mm (width), coupled with 355mm high drop-sides, is designed for optimal space utilisation. Its maximum permitted payload of 1 500kg is the largest in the forward-cab market.
The X200 double-cab's maximum payload of 1 300 kg matches its single-cab rivals. Despite the space being used to fit three more people inside the extended cab, the X200 double-cab supports a large load area of 3 654mm². The cargo area of 2 215mm (length) x 1 650mm (width) and 355mm high drop-sides can still accommodate heavy and bulky loads.
The X-Series includes a factory-fitted air-conditioner, a height-adjustable steering wheel and comfortable synthetic leather seats with headrests for a relaxing drive. All derivatives feature a Radio/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth for added safety, while the X200 double-cab also offers electric windows.
