Dzhak Avtomobil company (the exclusive distributor of JAC in Russia), together with the Avmatekh plant in Novosibirsk, has developed the three-axle JAC N200 6x2 chassis, which has no equivalents on the Russian market. The new product is intended primarily for building garbage trucks and other special-purpose vehicles, the company said.
Large retailers that purchased the compact and powerful JAC N200 4x2 faced a problem: due to tighter transportation rules, they could use only 70% of the payload capacity — loading 6.5-7 tons instead of 10 tons. Overload fines came regularly.
The solution was found in modifying the chassis with an additional axle. The first version, with a lift axle, was launched back in 2023, with 150 vehicles produced, of which 130 were sold. In 2025, a version with a steering axle was created — exclusively for municipal operators.
Regional operators are already familiar with equipment based on our chassis, and the JAC N200 4x2 is widely used in the municipal sector. Using our experience in creating vehicles with a lift axle, we went further and offered the market an even more interesting product, with no equivalents in Russia — a 20-ton truck with a third steering axle.
The new chassis carries up to 13,300 kg of cargo at a gross vehicle weight of 19,980 kg. The load is evenly distributed between the two rear axles — each can handle 7.5 tons. The steering axle reduced the turning radius from 7.7 to 6.1 meters. Axle control has been brought into the cab, and the automation will indicate when to disengage it so as not to lose control at speed.
More than 70% of the components for the axle are produced in Novosibirsk at the Avmatekh plant, with the rest coming from China. The mountings were reinforced for increased loads — they are now installed on all versions of the three-axle N200.
By the end of 2026, the plan is to produce about 30 vehicles with a steering axle and 20-30 with a lift axle. Some of the chassis will be stored in warehouses for quick orders. The truck warranty is 36 months.
