Six centuries ago, Zheng He, the legendary Chinese navigator commanded a colossal fleet, embarking on seven epic voyages across the oceans. His expeditions reached dozens of countries and regions across Asia and Africa, sparking profound cultural and trade exchanges between the East and the West. Today, six hundred years later, Chery International, which has become one of the world’s top 500 companies with 28 years of technological expertise and experience, is demonstrating China’s strength and ingenuity on the international stage, forging a new chapter in the story of globalization.
With annual exports exceeding one million vehicles, Chery International is setting a benchmark for globalization, exemplifying a new era of international expansion.
In the recently concluded year of 2024, Chery Group achieved remarkable overall results. Its annual sales reached 2,603,916 units, setting a new historical record. In terms of exports, Chery Group delivered an exceptional performance, with a total of 1,144,588 vehicles shipped globally—a remarkable year-on-year increase of 21.4%. This accomplishment not only solidified Chery’s position as the leading Chinese brand in passenger vehicle exports but also significantly bolstered its reputation and influence in the global automotive market. Chery’s success in 2024 stands as a testament to its innovation, resilience, and commitment to excellence on the world stage.
In terms of growth rate, Chery’s export sales have soared nearly tenfold, from 114,000 units in 2020 to 1.145 million units in 2024. This remarkable growth not only highlights Chery’s excellence in product quality, technological innovation and market development, but also underscores the global recognition and trust in the Chery brand. To date, Chery Group’s operations span more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, with a cumulative total of over 16 million automotive users.
Adhering to a global ecosystem of “value co-creation” is the key to Chery’s success.
Such remarkable achievements are rooted in Chery’s dedication to long-termism and its vision to be a pioneer in “value symbiosis”. The company has continuously deepened its efforts in technology, branding, ecology, service, and investment. Adhering to the philosophy of “in somewhere, for somewhere”, and leveraging its globally leading technological strengths, Chery has continuously optimized its overseas product portfolio, deepened localized operations, consolidated its global systemic capabilities, and completed the transition from mere product exports to a full value chain. By integrating brand channels, core products, organizational systems, manufacturing capabilities, high-quality services, and localized supply chains, Chery has comprehensively built its globalization capabilities to achieve high-quality development. At the technological level, with the strong support of its technology-oriented approach and under the Yaoguang 2025 strategy, Chery Automobile continues to innovate in artificial intelligence fields such as intelligent driving, smart cabin predicted on large models, and humanoid robots, consistently delivering groundbreaking technologies and products.
When facing diverse markets, Chery International has tailored its approach to meet the unique needs of users, establishing a differentiated brand portfolio overseas that includes CHERY, EXEED, OMODA&JAECOO, each demonstrating distinct competitiveness. The company has also developed a comprehensive product lineup spanning ICE vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, extended-range vehicles, and BEVs, ensuring that it caters to the varied mobility demands of users worldwide. Furthermore, Chery International has built a user-centric operation and service system that is closely aligned with local market demands and more attuned to consumer preferences, jointly promoting marketing upgrades and delivering a rich, diversified product experience for global users.
In addition, Chery International has proactively embraced its social responsibilities and taken into account sustainable development, and launched global project collaborations with UNICEF and IUCN, conveying Chery’s brand value of “caring, warm, and emotionally connected” to the world.
Building stronger bonds, moving forward together: Chery deepens and strengthens collaboration with overseas dealers.
During the Beijing International Auto Show in April last year, Chery International extended invitations to over 3,000 international guests, including diplomats from ten countries such as Spain and South Africa to participate in its exhibition activities. These guests were also invited to take a dedicated high-speed rail to visit Chery’s headquarters in Wuhu and attend the International Business Conference. Themed “New Energy, New Eco, New Era”, the conference featured a themed conference and an ecosystem launch event carried out by various brands of Chery International, highlighting the value-driven innovation of Chery International’s products. The event also showcased the impressive debut of an AI-powered bipedal humanoid robot AIMOGA and argos robotic dog, underscoring Chery’s forward-thinking strategy and profound expertise in artificial intelligence.
A vibrant gathering of global partners: Chery and overseas dealers chart a new blueprint together.
As spring arrives and in this vibrant late April, the world’s attention will once more converge on Wuhu, this ancient city along the Yangtze River, where Chery International will embrace international friends from all over the world with an open mind, officially ushering in the “Chery Time”. Building upon the theme of last year’s conference, “New Energy, New Eco, New Era”, this year’s theme is centered on “New Technology, New Integration, New Mission”, emphasizing its interconnected and mutually beneficial partnership with its international dealers. With an international strategic layout as its foundation and innovative technology as its driving force, the conference aims to fully present the diversified and integrated innovative achievements of Chery International’s global layout, dedicating itself to becoming the benchmark in the global smart travel sector and jointly building a more prosperous and interconnected community of shared destiny. Compared to last year, this year’s event has been upgraded in all aspects, including attendance, scale, and influence, to help international friends know Chery, understand Chery, and ultimately recognize Chery. This grand international gathering is poised to serve as a bridge connecting the world, fostering consensus, deepening regional cooperation, and promoting shared development, and contributing the “Chery Wisdom” to the globalization of China’s automotive industry.
The conference is set to commence as partners from around the world converge here to experience the allure of innovation, explore deeper collaborations, and envision a shared future. This “Chery Rendezvous”—a mutual journey between China and the world—is set to write a new chapter of unity, integration, and collective success. See you on April 23rd!
