JAC unveils limited-edition T9 Hunter bakkie for SA market only
JAC Motors South Africa has just unveiled a new, limited-edition version of its T9 Hunter bakkie for the local market following a record-breaking endurance test at Gerotek. Looking for a new or used JAC? Find it here with CARmag! Not so long ago, Chinese automaker JAC embarked on setting a new record, involving a gruelling 24-hour endurance challenge, where the T9 bakkie was pushed far beyond typical road limits. The challenge, held at the Gerotek Testing Facility in Pretoria, saw a T9 2l CTi cover 4 084 km at an average speed of 170.1km/h over the period. This distance broke the previous 15-year-old record for commercial vehicles held by Isuzu. To celebrate this accomplishment, JAC is producing an exclusive run of only 24 T9 Hunter units. Each of these special bakkies will be individually numbered and will receive unique upgrades over the standard T9, including enhanced performance and comfort features. While full details are still under wraps, this limited production run is clearly designed to offer buyers a tangible piece of the T9's track success. Under the bonnet, the T9 Hunter retains the potent powertrain used in the record-breaking test (which is a stock, factory unit). This means a 2l intercooled turbo-diesel engine that generates 144kW of power and 487N.m of torque. Power is delivered through an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Related: JAC T9 Bakkie Runs Non-Stop for 4 084 km to Set New SA 24-Hour Endurance Record Karl-Heinz Göbel, CEO of JAC Motors South Africa, notes that the launch of the T9 Hunter aligns perfectly with the brand's accelerating growth. 'Our sales figures reflect the increasing confidence customers have in our products,' Göbel stated. Indeed, T9 sales have seen a nearly 28% increase from January to May 2025 compared with the same period last year, while the popular T8 has surged by a massive 140%. The remainder of 2025 will see the brand introduce the T9 Plug-in Hybrid, marking its entry into the electrified bakkie market. This will be followed by the arrival of the T6 single-cab, catering to a more utility-focused segment. Additionally, engine updates are planned for both the T8 and X200 models, promising improved performance and efficiency across the lineup.

2026 JAC T9 PHEV Australian Edition dual-cab ute unveiled
What may be the Australian-spec 2026 JAC T9 PHEV dual-cab ute has made its public debut at the 2025 Greater Bay Area motor show in Shenzen, China as one of six new JAC vehicles planned for local showrooms. The JAC Hunter PHEV shown in these images from Car News China will be badged T9 in Australia, joining the current diesel-powered ute on sale here since January 2025. It will give JAC a direct competitor to the BYD Shark 6, GWM Cannon Alpha and Ford Ranger PHEV dual-cab utes when it launches here in early 2026. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The T9/Hunter PHEV was already revealed earlier this year, though the vehicle showed off at the Melbourne motor show had quite a different look with all-terrain tyres, black wheels and a black sports bar. This Australian Edition revealed in China, in contrast, features 18-inch 'aerodynamic' alloy wheels running all-season tyres, like the battery-electric version of the T9. There's also blue badging, while the front tow hooks appear to have been removed and the sports bar appears to have a chrome finish. It's unclear whether local-spec T9 PHEVs will look more like the Chinese show car or the Melbourne show car, or if we'll get the option of both looks. The T9 PHEV is powered by a 160kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 130kW front axle and 150kW rear axle motor providing all-wheel drive. Combined output is a 385kW and a hefty 1000Nm with a 715kg payload – against the diesel T9's 1045kg – and braked towing rating of 3500kg to outmuscle the diesel versions' 3200kg rating. The 31.2kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery provides a claimed 100km of electric driving – more than the Ford Ranger PHEV's 49km and identical to the BYD Shark 6's range. The ute also has vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging capability so it can power electrical appliances. The interior sees a new four-spoke steering wheel design in place of the two-spoke wheel seen diesel versions in local showrooms, with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.4-inch centre screen. A long-wheelbase version sold overseas increases the standard 5330mm length by 290mm but won't be offered here. Pricing and full specs have yet to be announced for the T9 PHEV, with this information likely to be announced closer to its early 2026 launch. The T9 EV also shown in Melbourne in April has not yet been locked in for an Australian on-sale. The T9 PHEV will be joined in Australian showrooms, however, by a raft of new JAC models, including a ladder-frame SUV due by the end of 2026 to take on the Ranger-based Ford Everest as well as the Toyota Prado.

Major disruptions expected as power failure halts trains
Commuters have been advised to look for alternate routes with a power supply issue at Strathfield Station to cause chaos on the journey home. Transport for NSW said major disruptions were expected to impact all trains running between Central and Strathfield. That includes the T1 North Shore & Western Line, T2 Inner West & Leppington Line, T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line, T8 Airport & South Line, T9 Northern Line, Central Coast & Newcastle Line and Blue Mountains Line. Shortly before 4pm, it was reported that trains had come to a halt at platforms on the impacted lines. Replacement buses have been requested but are not yet operational. At Parramatta Station, large crowds grouped out the front of the Opal gates as staff temporarily blocked access to the platforms in an effort to avoid crowding. Just after 4pm, passengers were told by station staff there was 'nothing happening between now and the next half hour or so' before replacement buses arrived. By 4.15pm, commuters were once again piling on to the platforms. Loading The cause of the power supply issue is currently under investigation, but Transport for NSW confirmed it's not weather related. Transport for NSW will provide an update on the unfolding situation at 4.30pm.
