- SZSE 000550
JMC is the commercial-vehicle brand of Jiangling Motors in Nanchang, Jiangxi. Its core products are light trucks, panel vans, light buses and pickups, sold to trades and small businesses across China and increasingly abroad.
The brand shares its factories with Ford. Jiangling has built the Ford Transit in Nanchang since 1997 and Ford holds 32% of the listed company, so a JMC dealer often has Ford-badged vans and SUVs on the same forecourt. Jiangling's own passenger and pickup lines carry the Yusheng and Dadao names, and its electric models the Lexing name.
In 2025 the listed company sold 377,253 vehicles: 99,770 light buses, 83,207 trucks, 59,681 pickups and 134,595 SUVs. Its parent group JMCG, which also owns the JMEV electric car and JMMC two-wheeler businesses, sold 520,000 vehicles and exported 169,900 of them, up 38.4% on the year.
