As an emerging force in global auto industry, Jetour operates the intelligent manufacturing platform and quality control system. Serving as core pillars of Jetour's manufacturing, the Fuzhou factory has a complete vehicle manufacturing process, including stamping, welding, painting and assembly. With an annual capacity of 200,000 units, the factory plans to double its output to 400,000 units per year after expansion in Phase II.

Jetour Fuzhou is currently in full production of the Jetour T2 model, which was officially launched in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in January 2024.
Since then, the light off-road SUV has quickly become a hit and topped the sales charts in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The car, known as "Traveler" in China, also sells well at home. In its first year in the market, the cumulative unit sales have exceeded 200,000 units, making it the best-seller in the light off-road SUV segment in China.

Beside the Jetour T2, Jetour Fuzhou factory will produce more models in the future, including A0-class SUVs, A+-class SUVs and A-class sedans.
In the age of electrification, Jetour will accelerate the launch of new energy products. One of its new energy models, Jetour's T1 i-DM, was officially launched in October 2024 in China and is also manufactured at Jetour Fuzhou factory.
In the next two years, Jetour will introduce eight new products, covering the urban SUV series, the off-road SUV series, and the pickup series. By 2030, Jetour plans to build 19 knock-down factories overseas, so as to meet the demand of more than 80 markets around the world.
To support such rapid market development, Jetour will focus on intelligent manufacturing and fully utilize its quality genes for robust products and brand enhancement.
