JAC factory model codes help identify the truck category, power source and product variant. Many letters follow Chinese pinyin, the Roman-letter spelling of Chinese words. Their position matters: the same letter can have different meanings in different codes.

The letters, in context
Many letters come from pinyin. Others identify a truck structure or a factory variant. Read each letter in its position within the complete model.
Read the full code: CPD is electric, while CPCD is diesel. The final D in CPCD, CPQD, CPYD or CPQYD refers to the transmission. Not every structural letter has a word-for-word pinyin expansion.
What do the numbers mean?
The number after the main prefix usually identifies the factory capacity class in tenths of a ton. For JAC USA’s simplified product naming, divide that number by 10, then multiply the ton class by 2,000 to show the nominal class in pounds. Example: CPD25 → 2.5-ton class → 5,000 lb class.
This is a simplified U.S. capacity-class naming convention. Use the approved product specification and the exact truck data plate for its rated capacity; individual models may use a different published U.S. rating. Capacity at height also depends on the mast, load center and attachments.
Series and suffixes
Li / LI identifies lithium in the listed model designation. L, S, J, HE, SA3, SR, Mini and other suffixes identify a product family or factory variant; they are not universal specifications. RS, BS, M, H/C, III and configuration numbers such as 510 / 520 also need the complete model and its specification sheet. OPS and OPSM are order-picker designations, not a pinyin formula to decode letter by letter.
A prefix does not confirm battery chemistry, mast, emissions certification, stock status or the complete U.S. configuration. For a parts or service request, send the full model and serial number. For a new truck, tell us your load weight, required lift height and working environment.
