JMC
JMC (Jiangling Motors Corporation) combines over five decades of Chinese automotive expertise with Ford Motor Company's global engineering capabilities through a landmark joint venture.
Origins & Heritage
Jiangling Motors Corporation was established in 1969 in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, initially as a state-owned enterprise manufacturing military vehicles and agricultural machinery.
JMC's transformative moment came in 1995 with a strategic partnership with Ford Motor Company — one of the earliest Sino-American automotive joint ventures. Ford's equity brought not only capital but global engineering expertise and quality management systems.
Today, JMC operates as a publicly listed company (Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 000550) with Ford maintaining a significant minority stake. The company manufactures a diverse portfolio from light vans to full-size SUVs and electric vehicles.
