JAC Chassis Cab to be Adopted by Greenkraft's Newly Opened Plant

www.chinatrucks.com: With clean machines its focus, Greenkraft opens plant to custom-build low-emission trucks. Craft beers seem to be the rage as beer connoisseurs seek just the right taste for their palettes.
Greenkraft sees itself in somewhat the same way—a small, custom truck manufacturer that provides customers with a taste that is difficult to find anywhere else. But the company has a somewhat higher calling—to help make the planet a healthier place to live.
“We build trucks that are powered by CNG, LPG, gasoline and hybrid electric,” says George Gemayel, president of Greenkraft Inc in Santa Ana, California. “Diesel is a carcinogen. But we want to provide an option. We are here to offer a cleaner way to fuel a medium-duty truck.”
Greenkraft manufactures Class 4-7 trucks with a choice of gasoline, propane, compressed natural gas, or hybrid electric power. The company’s most popular models are low-cab-forward trucks.
Chassis cab components are sourced from JAC Motors, an automobile and truck manufacturer in China.
The cab is imported from China as a shell.
“Only about 20% of the content of our trucks come from China,” Gemayel says. “Even the instrumentation of the cab is made here. It’s our design and produced for us by and outside vendor.”
The heart of the Greenkraft trucks are also sourced domestically. Typically the trucks are powered by a GM engine that run on alternative fuels. It is coupled with GM or Allison automatic transmission. Driveshaft and axle also are domestically sourced.
Greenkraft Inc was established in 2008. The company’s truck lineup includes Classes 4-7. All of this will take place in a newly acquired 150,000-sq-ft plant that the company took over in January. The new location in a Santa Ana industrial park, is three times the size of Greenkraft’s previous facility, near current Greenkraft headquarters. The new facility will include several overhead cranes, assembly lines and an expanded parts division.
The larger quarters will enable the company to accommodate an expanding product line. Greenkraft is adding Class 6 and Class 7 models—labeled the G3 and G4—with GVW ratings of 26,000 and 33,000 pounds.
“This expansion is to fulfill demand on both current models and the new ones,” Gemayel says.
