JAC i40 EV Malaysia Review 2026: Cost, Charging And Who It Suits

The JAC i40 EV Malaysia is a light duty electric lorry distributed by Eco R (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, part of the Sendok Group. It targets SMEs, service fleets, and urban delivery operators that return to a depot each night. Priced from RM140,000, the truck runs a CATL 63.75 kWh battery and travels up to 230 km per charge on manufacturer test data.

This JAC i40 EV review covers real cost, charging, payload, and buyer fit, using Eco R data and current Malaysian prices. Our full EV truck Malaysia guide sits alongside it for wider context.

What Is The JAC i40 EV Malaysia?

The JAC i40 EV Malaysia is a 3.7 tonne GVW light duty electric truck built for city logistics and short haul delivery. Eco R (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd distributes the model and backs it with nationwide sales, service, and warranty support. JAC Motors builds the truck, and CATL supplies the 63.75 kWh battery.

Operators pick the model for fixed daily routes under 200 km, where lower energy and maintenance cost pay back over time. Eco R stocks the i40 as part of its JAC EV truck Malaysia lineup, so you step up to the i75 when payload grows.

JAC i40 EV Malaysia Price And What You Get

The JAC i40 EV price starts from RM140,000 on a chassis and cab basis, as listed by Eco R. Your final on road cost depends on the body you fit. Eco R adds a 5 year or 200,000 km warranty and a free service program up to 100,000 km.

Confirm the built up price on the JAC i40 EV product page or with the sales team, because body work, insurance, and registration add to the base price. Ask for a quote that matches your body type and payload needs.

JAC i40 EV Truck Full Specifications

The table lists the confirmed JAC i40 EV Truck specifications supplied by Eco R. JAC quotes the distance from manufacturer test data, so real figures shift with payload.

Real Distance for JAC i40 EV T Per Charge And Charging

The JAC i40 EV Malaysia travels up to 230 km per charge on manufacturer test data, and up to 300 km at a steady 60 km/h. City delivery with stop start traffic and a loaded body returns less, so plan routes around 180 to 220 km per day.

Eco R Truck Malaysia quotes about 40 minutes from 20 to 80% on a 90 kW DC charger, and an overnight AC charge fills the battery in 8.5 hours. The CCS2 port matches Malaysian public chargers, so depot charging removes public charger dependence.

JAC i40 EV Malaysia Running Cost Versus Diesel

The JAC i40 EV Malaysia gives a steadier monthly running cost than a light diesel lorry, and the gap depends on diesel subsidy access. A commercial vehicle on the SKDS fleet card buys diesel at RM2.15 per litre up to quota, while one without SKDS pays market price, RM4.07 per litre for 16 to 22 July 2026. The table models a 3.5 tonne truck at 3,000 km per month.

Against SKDS diesel the monthly saving runs about RM400 to RM700 after maintenance. Against market diesel it widens to about RM1,200 to RM1,500. Figures assume 14 litres per 100 km for diesel, near 30 kWh per 100 km plus charging loss for the EV, a commercial low voltage tariff, and equal payload.

Diesel prices come from the DOSM fuel price dataset, the RM2.15 rate follows the Ministry of Finance SKDS commercial diesel scheme, and charging cost follows the TNB commercial tariff. Treat the numbers as a planning estimate, then run your own route data before you buy.

JAC i40 EV: Payload And Body Options

The JAC i40 EV carries a 3,700 kg gross vehicle weight with a chassis curb weight of 1,800 kg. JAC rates chassis payload above 1.8 tonnes, and your usable payload drops once the box or van goes on. For most SME parcels, food, and service loads, the remaining payload covers a full day of drops.

Eco R fits common commercial bodies to the chassis, such as cargo, box van, or refrigerated units. Confirm your exact body option and the resulting net payload with the Eco R team before you commit.

EV Truck Malaysia Road Tax And 2026 Incentives

Malaysia’s full EV road-tax exemption ended on 31 December 2025. Under JPJ’s current guidelines, an electric commercial goods vehicle is assessed according to its registered unladen weight rather than motor output. The calculated fee receives a 50% exemption. Because cargo-box and other body installations affect the registered weight, buyers should confirm the final annual LKM amount after body fitment and registration. 

Import and duty rules for electric vehicles also shifted in 2026, so confirm the current on road EV truck Malaysia price with Eco R. The steadier saving comes from predictable energy cost, since depot charging avoids diesel quota limits.

JAC i40 EV Malaysia Video Review and Walkaround

Watch the JAC i40 EV Malaysia video review below for a closer look at the truck and its commercial features. The video gives fleet operators a better visual understanding of the vehicle before arranging an in-person inspection or test drive.

After watching the review, visit Eco R’s Klang yard to inspect the cabin, charging setup, load access and available body configurations. Bring details of your daily mileage, usual payload and delivery routes so the Eco R team can help determine whether the JAC i40 EV suits your operation.

JAC i40 EV Versus JAC i75 EV

Choose the JAC i40 EV Malaysia for lighter urban loads, and step up to the JAC i75 EV for heavier payload. The i40 covers 3.7 tonne GVW city work, while the i75 handles 7,500 kg loads.

Read the full JAC i75 EV listing if your loads pass 1.8 tonnes. For lighter routes, the i40 stays the lower cost entry into an EV truck Malaysia fleet.

Who Should Buy The JAC i40 EV Malaysia

The JAC i40 EV Malaysia fits operators with fixed daily routes, depot charging, and light payloads. FMCG top up runs, e-commerce last mile, food distribution, and service fleets gain the most from the low energy and maintenance cost. A battery truck also eliminates tailpipe fuel combustion emissions during operation, which supports ESG reporting, while charging electricity normally falls under Scope 2.

The model fits less well for intercity work above 250 km a day, sites without depot charging, or heavy haul. For those, a diesel lorry or the larger i75 serves better.
