Where is the production base of Chery cars?
2 Answers
The production base of Chery cars is located in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, and it is a model under Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. Taking the Chery Tiggo 8 as an example: the exterior dimensions of the vehicle are 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1746mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat midsize SUV. The Chery Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156 hp, a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
Chery's passenger car production base is mainly located in Wuhu, Anhui, which is their headquarters. I only learned this after spending a long time in car enthusiast circles. Wuhu is situated in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and while its economy isn't the most developed, Chery started building its factory there in 1997. Now, the base covers thousands of acres and is divided into several major zones, with integrated production lines for stamping, welding, and final assembly. The annual production capacity easily exceeds 500,000 vehicles, with models like the Tiggo and Arrizo series manufactured here. The base is designed with a modern layout, featuring many green workshops and a large workforce, boosting local employment. I've visited several times and felt like the entire city revolves around the automotive industry, with dense clusters of supporting suppliers. Although Chery has branch factories in other parts of China, such as Dalian, Wuhu remains the core, continuously driving their technological upgrades and export strategies.
