Is Chery a Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
Chery is not a joint venture car, but a domestic brand. Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. is a state-controlled enterprise engaged in automobile production, headquartered in Wuhu City, Anhui Province. The current chairman and general manager is Yin Tongyue. Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. originated from the automobile project of the Wuhu Municipal Government in Anhui Province. Chery's vehicle models include: Eastar, Chery QQ, Tiggo, Chery A1, Chery A3, Fengyun Flagcloud, Flagcloud 2, Chery E5, Riich G6, Riich G5, Riich M1, Riich M5, Riich X1, Rely X5, Rely V5, Rely H5, Rely H3, etc.
Chery is truly not a joint venture car; it is a purely domestic Chinese brand. I remember first hearing about Chery many years ago when I was just getting into cars and reading various automotive magazines. I learned that it was founded in Anhui in 1997 and is a company established and operated entirely by Chinese people, unlike joint venture brands like Volkswagen or Toyota, which have foreign partners involved in management and technology. Chery's models, such as the QQ compact car and Tiggo SUV, showcase the advantages of local R&D—they are affordable, reliable, and durable. As a car enthusiast, I find the development of domestic brands inspiring. Chery exports to over 80 countries, proving our technological prowess. Driving one feels reassuring, without worrying about complex imported parts, and maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free. Overall, supporting domestic brands is a positive move, and Chery is a great example, representing the rise of the automotive industry and national pride.
