The domestic market is tepid, and the overseas market leads the industry, which is Chery Automobile Group. In the face of today's impetuous and exaggerated market environment, Chery Automobile does not rely too much on public opinion, but chooses to work steadily and steadily to improve product quality, giving people a low-key and introverted feeling.
The "first export brother" of Chinese car brands
Chery has gone the farthest and most firmly on the road of globalization. On December 18, 1999, Chery's first model "Chery Fengyun" officially rolled off the assembly line. Just two years later, Chery exported 10 cars to Syria for the first time in October 2001, marking the beginning of Chery Automobile's internationalization and creating a precedent for mass export of Chinese cars.
In addition, Chery is also the first Chinese automobile company to export vehicles, CKD parts, engines, and vehicle manufacturing technology and equipment to the world. Compared with other independent brands, Chery has a relatively high degree of investment and attention to overseas markets.
Up to now, Chery Automobile has successfully exported to more than 80 countries and regions around the world, with a total of more than 1.7 million new vehicles exported and more than 12 million users worldwide. Proper Chinese car brand exports "first brother".
Years of hard work have finally paid off, and Chery has now gained a firm foothold overseas, accumulating rich channel resources and customer base. In the past three years, Chery's overseas sales have ushered in leapfrog growth, from 269,200 units in 2021 to 937,100 units in 2023, an increase of 248%. In 2023, Chery Group's annual sales volume will reach 1,881,300 units, of which 937,100 units will be exported, a year-on-year increase of 101%, accounting for almost half of the total sales volume, and the growth rate is far higher than the industry average.
A "science and engineering man" who is obsessed with technology research and development
Nowadays, the domestic market is more inclined to new energy, and among many independent brands, Chery is one of the few domestic car companies that is still obsessed with fuel vehicles and has in-depth research and development of internal combustion engines and transmissions.
According to statistics, by the end of 2022, Chery has applied for a total of 25,800 patents and obtained 17,200 authorized patents, of which 37% are invention patents, ranking among the top in China's automotive industry. "Technology Chery" is constantly accelerating its evolution, and the four major technical fields and 15 core technologies of "Mars architecture, Kunpeng power, male lion intelligence, and galaxy ecology" are steadily advancing.
It is precisely because of the accumulation of technology in fuel vehicles that Chery is favored by overseas markets. Unlike the domestic market environment, the overseas market is still dominated by fuel vehicles, and Chery's main export models are not new energy vehicles, but fuel vehicles. Among them, the Tiggo series, the Xingtu series, and the Arrizo series are Chery's main export models.
Because he is not good at publicity, and the appearance design is often complained about, Chery is also known as the "science and engineering man". However, it is this "science and engineering man" character that has made Chery's brilliance.
summary
In this increasingly impetuous market environment, it is not easy to settle down and concentrate on research and development. The success of overseas markets reflects Chery's brand value and product quality, and Chery's success also shows that scientific and technological research and development and patented technology are the only way for an automobile company to survive.
