The King Long Jockey, King Long Saima, or King Long Kaite (凯特) is a light commercial vehicle (van) built by King Long from China as a van, chassis cab, Recreational vehicle, and minibus.

Overview


The King Long Jockey was introduced in China in June 2014 with prices up to 236,000 yuan. Power of the King Long Jockey comes from either a 2.8 litre inline-four turbo diesel engine or a 2.3 litre inline-four turbo diesel engine.[2]

Controversies

The designs of the King Long Jockey vans are controversial as they heavily resemble the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans with similar body styles and overall vehicle dimensions. The King Long Jockey vans are among the various Chinese vans from domestic brands that chose to replicate the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with only minor styling differences. Other brands include Higer and JAC.[3]


Badge engineered variants

The vehicle body of the King Long Jockey was shared across multiple companies including the related Higer Bus and other small manufacturers that specializes in light commercial vehicles due to company connections and shared toolings. A pure electric cargo van variant was produced by Changsha Meihua Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and sold as the Tongxin TX5040XXYBEV.[4] Another variant was sold as the BAIC Changjiang BJ5040XXYCJ08EV by Changjiang EV. Yantai Shuchi (烟台舒驰) also produces electric cargo van variants based on the same vehicle body under the YTK5040XXYEV-series codename.
