Empowering new products with technology, making Chery a global favorite
From the first foundation pile laid in 1997, through 28 years of technological accumulation, Chery International has achieved comprehensive leadership across ICE vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and BEV sectors. With the dawn of the electrification era, Chery has deeply integrated new energy and intelligence into its product DNA, establishing a full-stack self-research technology system spanning powertrains, intelligent cockpits, and autonomous driving.

Meanwhile, the next-generation of hybrid engines is about to be put into production, with a thermal efficiency rate exceeding 46.5%. Looking ahead, Chery aims to introduce hybrid engines featuring the world’s highest thermal efficiency, surpassing 48%. In terms of transmission systems, Chery has introduced the DHT230 and DHT280, the most powerful hybrid transmissions available, to meet global market demands. With a WLTC efficiency of 93%, the hybrid transmissions have set a benchmark in global hybrid technology. Furthermore, Chery has positioned China as one of only four countries capable of fully independently manufacturing 8AT transmissions.

From a donation of USD 6 million to the UNICEF for international children’s education initiatives, and collaborating with the IUCN to jointly advance global environmental protection efforts, Chery’s dedication to ESG practices remains steadfast. At the conference, Chery launched an ESG cooperation initiative to its global dealers for the first time. Additionally, Chery announced its sustainable development goals to the industry, vowing to relentlessly strive for reductions in average emissions, electricity consumption, water usage, and hazardous waste emission intensity throughout the vehicle lifecycle. This goal underscores Chery’s unwavering commitment to ESG practice and signifies Chery’s resolute response to the future challenges and opportunities facing the industry and society.
