China’s relatively young auto brand JETOUR sent its new T2 model to serve as the official vehicle for the G20 South Africa 2025 summit in Johannesburg. The cars were used to shuttle delegates and officials during key sessions, making the T2 a visible part of the summit’s logistics and public image. The move put JETOUR in front of an international audience at a moment when the world was watching South Africa host leaders and ministers.
The presence of the T2 was brief but highly public. Convoys, motorcades and parked vehicles outside venues meant millions of onlookers and news cameras saw the brand. For a company aiming to widen its footprint beyond domestic markets, that kind of exposure is a rare, low-cost way to build recognition quickly.
Why the G20 stage mattered for a vehicle choice
The G20 summit is a big logistical exercise. Organisers pick vehicles not only for practicality but for image, reliability and political signals. Choosing the JETOUR T2 sent a message that local organisers and contractors were open to working with non-traditional suppliers, including newer foreign brands. It also showed how summit planning can highlight local or partner industries without turning the spotlight solely on government fleets or established global names.
For citizens and visitors, the cars became part of the look and feel of the summit — the rolling backdrop to press conferences, arrivals and departures. That matters for a brand: being associated with a smooth, secure summit adds an extra layer to how people see a model. It is a straightforward way to turn a workhorse vehicle into something more recognisable. Official branding was visible in many places.
How the T2 was used and what it brings
The T2 is presented by JETOUR as a roomy, practical SUV built for comfort and daily use. Ahead of the summit, JETOUR showcased the model at a local launch event in South Africa, emphasising interior space, passenger comfort and a modern look suitable for official duties. The cars used in Johannesburg were fitted in a way that prioritised safety and convenience for diplomats and staff.
JETOUR has positioned the T2 to appeal to fleet buyers as well as private customers. That matters for a summit application: organisers need vehicles that can run long hours, provide easy access for security teams and offer predictable maintenance routines. The T2’s role at the G20 highlighted those attributes in a live setting, which is more persuasive than a brochure.
What serving the summit reveals about JETOUR’s strategy
For JETOUR, placing the T2 at the G20 is less about immediate sales and more about reputation. The brand is still working to be known outside China. Being visible at an international summit gives it stories to tell when talking to dealers, importers and fleet buyers. It signals confidence: that the company believes its cars are up to the task in a demanding environment.
This kind of exposure also helps in markets where buyers favour proven service and familiarity. When a model has already handled high-stress duties in public, it becomes easier for local fleets to imagine adopting it. The appearance could open doors to government contracts, rental fleets or corporate buyers who place a premium on reliability and image.
There are limits. One high-profile job does not guarantee long-term success. JETOUR will need local service networks, parts supply and after-sales support to turn attention into steady sales. Still, the summit provided a quick credibility boost and a stream of press images that the company can use to tell a consistent story about capability and readiness.
Where you can see the T2 next
JETOUR says the T2 will reach dealers and showrooms in certain regions in the months after the summit. Readers who want to see the vehicle in person should look for brand display days, local auto shows or media events where companies tend to bring models they want to promote.
Watch for follow-up announcements from JETOUR on fleet deals or government tenders. Those will show whether the summit appearance produced concrete business. In the meantime the T2 has done what it needed to do at Johannesburg: be dependable, be seen and start a conversation about a brand aiming for bigger markets.
