The first production base was the acquired equipment of the European Ford plant. And already on December 18, 1999, the first Chery car rolled off the assembly line, and less than ten years later, on August 22, 2007, the millionth was released.
Technologies of modern times
Chery Automobile has 6 car factories and 11 assembly plants around the world. The company also created a laboratory for its own R&D and testing in conjunction with the American company MTS Systems, the world leader in vehicle testing. MTS Systems products and research are used by companies such as Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Boeing and Airbus.
The project involves not only finding and applying the best engineering and manufacturing developments and testing programs for automotive components, but also training personnel. All this allows Chery to maintain a leading position in the export of cars in China.
Perfection in detail
Development is impossible in isolation, Chery management understands this very well and pays special attention to partner projects. Cooperation with the American companies Quantum and Chrysler, and with the Italian company Fiat contributes to the improvement of quality and work processes. Technological solutions are being improved thanks to partnerships with well-known design firms: British Lotus Engineering, famous for the production of sports and racing cars, and Japanese Mitsubishi Automotive Engineering. The breakthrough in design and comfort of many models is the result of collaboration with the design bureaus Bertone and Pininfarina from Italy. These companies worked with reference for automotive market brands: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and many others.
DESIGNER TEAM
Every car born in Chery is the work of the brand's design team. The brand design department is led by two directors James Hope and Hakan Sarajoglu, who have brought together a team of automotive experts from around the world with a common goal: to show the essence of the Chinese automotive industry.
To achieve this goal, Hope and Sarajoglu developed working system, which is based on four basic principles - proportion, branding, design and quality. Each of these principles has important implications. From the Chinese culture, which goes beyond the connection with the brand and seeks a deep understanding of what people are looking for in the understanding of the car, in order to appropriate, through design, cultural background and market trends, aiming to create models of international standards.
ANT 3.0 concept
The concept is Chery's answer to the problems of congestion and pollution in large cities. Initially introduced in 2012, the concept has been continuously improved, getting closer and closer to the production model. The car has a zero-emission electric motor powered by a wireless charging system, as well as on-line telemetry. At the end of 2014, Chery unveiled a strategic alliance to the world by signing with Yongche Inc. (specializing in creating a platform for signing Internet services) and Pateo Corporation (a company that has successfully developed technology for autonomous vehicles) a partnership agreement. The mission of the alliance is to create an intelligent vehicle, which will complement the ranks of environmentally friendly public transport in large cities.
proportions
Chery focuses on the golden ratio. The solid lines, dynamic and symmetrical, yet energetic and graceful, give the impression that Chery models are always ready for launch. The design of the continuous side lines that accentuate the silhouette of each model is harmoniously combined with the aspiring front view. This way, by enhancing the effect of horizontal lines, the ideal proportion and unique appearance are achieved.
branding
Every established brand is born with a distinctive DNA. At Chery, DNA comes from elements of Chinese culture and its influence on international design throughout history. In addition, Chery's design work strives to provide commonalities in each model, integrating them into a family of products with its own spirit and character. To this end, the brand is working on two concept models: a Betha for the sedan and a model for the SUV variants. Both models have structural elements that seek to emphasize the beauty inherent in Chinese culture. Obviously, these will be various products that will form Chery's model range until 2021.

Engines of the ACTECO family
There are many meanings of the word ACTECO, it can be understood in three meanings:
The first value is the designation of the engine's manufacturability. The first letter "A" refers to the Austrian company AVL, which claims that the place of its foundation is the Chinese province of Anhui; the second letter "C" stands for China / Chery; the last two letters "CO" are the English abbreviation for "cooperation". Thus, the first meaning of the word ACTECO is the engine from the Austrian company AVL, the location in the Chinese province of Anhui and the cooperation within the framework of Chery Automobile Technology. AVL is one of the leading engine manufacturers in Europe and has a leading position in Germany supplying its products to renowned German car manufacturers. AVL technology together with Chery's boldness and audacity provide ACTECO a starting point.
acteco engine technology meets global standards for economy and energy saving to protect the environment
The second meaning of ACTECO is mainly related to design and technical characteristics... The letters "TEC" in the middle of the word stand for "technology"; the last three letters (ECO) stand for both economy and environmental protection); the last two letters (CO) are abbreviations english word"Cost / low-cost)" (cheap). The second meaning of the word ACTECO means that the engine technology meets the world standards of economy and energy saving for the protection of the environment. This is one of those products that will help reduce economic ( low level consumption) and social (level of emissions of harmful substances) costs.
ACTECO also concentrates on the third meaning of the first letter "A", which expresses Chery's business philosophy: in the automotive industry (Automobile), the brave fight for the first place (A). And the first three letters "ACT" (action - action) are of great importance for Chery, because the company develops its own approach to the automotive industry: no matter how contradictory the world is - the actions speak for themselves.
