01 NEV Sales Above 100,000 for Seven Consecutive Months

October marked the seventh consecutive month in which Chery Auto’s NEV sales exceeded 100,000 units, setting another monthly record. Previously published China Passenger Car Association data shows that the Group has remained among the industry’s top three by NEV wholesale volume since April. In January to August 2026, its share of worldwide NEV sales reached 5.5%, placing it among the top five automotive groups globally

A portfolio spanning brands and market segments underpins this growth. CHERY has developed an SUV range centred on TIGGO4, TIGGO7, TIGGO8 and TIGGO9, catering for different budgets, household structures and travel needs. Alongside consolidating its SUV position, CHERY introduced the battery-electric CHERY Q in 2026, extending its range into electric mobility and offering younger users and smaller households more choice. The complementary SUV and battery-electric portfolios support continued growth across segments

02 A Chery-Built Vehicle Exported Every 15 Seconds: A Chinese Model Enters Europe’s Top Ten

Chery has continued to set new export milestones this year. January-to-October exports reached 1.752 million vehicles, up 64.8% year on year, equivalent to one Chery-built vehicle heading overseas every 15 seconds on average

Progress across global markets is particularly evident in Europe. In the first three quarters, Chery sold 292,000 vehicles across 24 European countries, up 182% year on year, including more than 146,000 NEVs, up 251%. Chery led the UK vehicle sales rankings in both August and September, with 8,618 and 32,830 units respectively. In South Africa, TIGGO4 Pro sold 2,297 units in August, establishing it as a core CHERY model in the market and contributing to Chinese brands’ global development

 At Paris International Motor Show 2026 in October, CHERY displayed models including TIGGO4, TIGGO7 and CHERY Q, broadening its EU product range and announcing new plans for continued development in the EU. During the show, Chery joined industry, academic and supply-chain partners to launch an initiative for sustainable development through collaboration between industry, universities and research organisations. It promotes more open cooperation on sustainable supply chains, low-carbon manufacturing, technology innovation, supply-chain resilience and responsible business practices

 03 Five Minutes of Charging for 500 km: More Than Ten Technologies in Yaoguang 2035

Innovation is central to Chery’s Globalisation 3.0 strategy, accelerating its transformation from a traditional carmaker into a high-technology industrial ecosystem looking towards 2035

At the Chery Global Innovation Conference in October, Chery unveiled its Yaoguang 2035 strategy. Built around one technology foundation and four freedoms, it applies shared AI vehicle technologies to humanoid robots, Robotaxi, eVTOL aircraft, energy, agricultural machinery and other industries, extending AI further into the physical world

Also in October, CHERY held Chery International User Summit 2026 at its headquarters in China under “Together. For Family”. CHERY Brand Night, the CHERY Brand Safety Challenge and other activities connected user stories, new products, technology innovation and co-creation, showcasing progress in CSH hybrid technology, safety, intelligent systems and new models

Guided by its technology vision of putting people at the centre and creating value for human freedom, Chery unveiled more than ten advanced technologies. These include Xunlong ultra-fast charging, capable of adding 500 km of range in five minutes, the industry’s first commercially deployed AC vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, and the industry’s first purpose-built, factory-equipped Level 4 Robotaxi. Other developments include China’s first fully independently developed compound-wing passenger eVTOL, the CheryMind domain-specific foundation model for the physical world, the independently controlled Ziwei chip, an intelligent battery-electric agricultural machinery system covering cultivation, sowing, field management, harvesting and transport, and the industry’s most comprehensive range of robotic intelligent agents. These technologies are moving from laboratories towards mass production, with initial applications in new energy and intelligent mobility

 04 Corporate Citizenship: Responsibility Wherever Chery Operates

Chery’s Globalisation 3.0 extends responsibility alongside its market presence. During Chery International User Summit 2026, Chery and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) launched “One Nature, One Future”. A lakeside “Ride Green Life” cycling activity supported the IUCN Nature 2030 Programme and its vision of a just world that values and conserves nature. Since launching their global “Cherish the Nature” partnership in 2024, the two organisations have continued to cooperate on conservation, environmental education and public participation, supporting biodiversity, climate resilience and community livelihoods

 Chery also invited UNICEF representatives to China and Viet Nam, Amakobe Sande and Silvia Danailov, to Chery International User Summit 2026 to share progress on education programmes supported by Chery Group. Since 2023, Chery has committed a total of US$12 million to UNICEF education programmes worldwide, focusing on China, Viet Nam, Mexico, South Africa, Türkiye and Indonesia

From record NEV sales and continued global expansion to technologies moving beyond the laboratory, Chery is pursuing its next stage of development. Guided by Globalisation 3.0, the Group will use innovation to advance its products and markets and accelerate its development into a global intelligent technology ecosystem company driven by AI
