According to media sources, JAC Group is accelerating recruitment for the Zunjie project, seeking experts in quality systems, quality review, product line quality, production quality, and vehicle quality. Reports indicate these positions will report to the project's Chief Quality Officer and require over eight years of experience in high-end vehicle projects, specifically with vehicles priced above 300,000 yuan, preferably with joint venture experience.

JAC Group plans to produce 38 Zunjie test vehicles and establish a 300-member quality team. In July, JAC Group's Chairman, and General Manager Xiang Xingchu revealed that the first product had entered the vehicle testing phase, with plans to roll off the production line by the end of this year and hit the market in the first half of next year.

The latest update suggests that Zunjie's first model will hit the market in the first quarter of 2025. The first ZunJie model would be priced in the million-yuan range, aiming to compete with ultra-luxury brands like Maybach and Rolls-Royce. The new vehicle will be produced on a jointly developed luxury new energy platform. Additionally, the construction of the JAC-Huawei factory nears completion, with an annual production capacity planned for 200,000 vehicles.
