JMC Bohol by Yves Chester Ybanez

Starting out as a truck repair and servicing shop in the 50’s, Jiangling Motors Corporation Ltd. (JMC) soared through the ranks as China’s most well-known business firm. Originating from Nanchang China, it was then known as Nanchang Motors Repair Factory.

In 1993, the company partnered with Isuzu in acquiring the rights to produce cab compartment and certain components of their light truck vehicles. Then came four years after, it has operated a commercial vehicle joint venture with Ford Motor Company to begin manufacturing the famous Transit van which found good favor in the Chinese market. Outside the home country, the overseas sales service network has expanded rapidly and overseas sales volume grows to notable records. This feat has been recognized by the State Whole Vehicle Export Base under the Ministry of Commerce and National Development and Reform Commission of China.

Now popularly known as the JMC we know today in the mid-90’s, it partnered with Dreamco Automobile Co in 2009 launching the Orion crossover, Hunter pickup, and Compadre light-duty trucks in the Philippines.
