JAC has launched the T9 PHEV in Malaysia and says it will become the country’s first locally assembled plug-in hybrid pickup truck when local production starts at FT Assembly’s plant in Kulim, Kedah.

The model is part of JAC’s wider local assembly plan for the T9 range, which also covers diesel and battery-electric versions. The local assembly arrangement was announced earlier between JAC’s distributor Evolvelectric Motors and FT Assembly, a subsidiary of Feytech Holdings.

According to the article, the T9 PHEV is the first PHEV pickup to be sold here. The local assembly milestone is intended to move production into Malaysia rather than relying only on imported units.

For workshops and buyers, the main point is that a new plug-in hybrid pickup is now in the market, with local assembly set to begin in Kulim. That makes the T9 PHEV a notable new option in the pickup segment.

What it means for you: Malaysian buyers and workshops now have a new PHEV pickup to watch, and local assembly may affect supply and after-sales support once production starts.
