From 0 to 5 million, Chery's "Global Expansion Evolution" Rewrites the Narrative of Chinese Automobiles Worldwide
Oct 21, 2025
5 million Overseas Milestone: Chery Embarks Anew as a Reconstructor of the Global Intelligent Mobility Ecosystem
In June 2025, Chery Group achieved a significant milestone, reaching its 5 millionth vehicle exported – becoming the first Chinese automotive brand to accomplish this feat. This achievement is underpinned by its deep accumulation of being ranked first in Chinese brand passenger vehicle exports for 22 consecutive years. Over two decades of global exploration and leadership, Chery's products have reached 120 countries and regions worldwide, accumulating over 17 million users and earning widespread recognition across diverse cultures and geographies. As the global automotive industry reshapes its order amidst the triple transformations of
new energy, intelligentization, and sustainable development, Chery has transitioned its business paradigm from "Made in China" to "Global Coexistence" through a differentiated global brand and product matrix, world-leading hybrid technology, localized ecological co-construction, and deep global practices in sustainable development.
Behind the Global Champion: Differentiated Product Development and Local Ecosystem Co-creation
Adhering to the philosophy of "In somewhere,
For somewhere," Chery has developed its products through "four key development areas" for overseas markets: regulatory compliance, product adaptability, product differentiation, and product competitiveness. Also covering various powertrain types such as internal combustion, hybrid, range-extended, and pure electric. Today, Chery is specifically targeting the high-regulation, high-standard European market. With robust product strength and precise market strategies, it has achieved monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units, making it the fastest-growing new automotive brand in Europe. Notably, the delivery location for Chery's 5 millionth exported vehicle was Poland, a crucial strategic point in the European market.

For Chery, globalization has never been merely about "selling cars overseas" but rather a deep deciphering of local demands. Chery has consistently viewed itself as a "fertilizer" and "value contributor" to the economic and social development of its overseas markets: firstly, achieving win-win cooperation with foreign countries and partners across the entire value chain, including talent, innovation, industry, and supply chains, to ensure shared outcomes; secondly, deeply integrating into the global automotive industry chain to promote localized development and strive to contribute to local economic and social progress. Co-creating with local ecosystems has enabled Chery's products to enjoy widespread market recognition and trust globally, with its brand image deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Technological Anchor: From Catching Up to Defining Rules with Hardcore Confidence
Facing the "either-or" debate of energy transition, Chery has forged a third path with its "Oil-Electric Co-Intelligence" strategy. The newly released 2.0TGDI hybrid-specific engine and DHT series transmissions have broken through, achieving a global hybrid maximum power of 280kW and a motor speed of 24,000 rpm. The seventh-generation hybrid-specific engine can achieve a global leading thermal efficiency of over 48%, continuously pushing global hybrid technology upwards. More importantly, Chery has not confined its technological advantage to the high-end market; instead, through a global deployment of 39 hybrid products, it is promoting the popularization of high-performance hybrid technology to the mass market. Star hybrid models represented by the TIGGO8, TIGGO7 are shining brightly in numerous overseas countries and regions. Behind this excellent market performance lies Chery's profound insight into the global green transition trend – only through inclusive technology can the industry-wide carbon neutrality process be accelerated.
In terms of intelligentization, relying on 24 billion kilometers of global validation data and a "Digital Parallel Universe" simulation testing platform, Chery can complete 20 million kilometers of model learning and 1 million kilometers of simulation validation daily, solidifying the technological foundation for the comprehensive application of intelligent solutions. Chery represents the first Chinese automaker to obtain dual certifications for EU vehicle cybersecurity and software update management systems, has secured China's first vehicular quantum secure communication certification, and has achieved the highest global ASIL D functional safety certification. Overseas users have accumulated over 4.5 billion kilometers in intelligent assisted driving.
Sustainable DNA: Responsibility Beyond Business
As a global citizen, Chery has consistently committed to contributing sustainable development value to the global society. Facing climate crisis and resource constraints, Chery deeply integrates ESG principles into its globalization strategy, building a "four-in-one" green system encompassing "energy regeneration, product energy efficiency, material recycling, and technological innovation," embodying carbon footprint management throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle. Simultaneously, it comprehensively deploys its new energy strategy, actively promoting the global popularization of new energy vehicles.
Concurrently, Chery actively fulfills its social responsibilities globally, from donating $6 million to UNICEF for international children's education to investing $3.5 million with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to launch the "Cherish Nature" Chery × IUCN global cooperation project, jointly promoting the protection of the world's vulnerable environments. Chery has consistently conveyed warmth and hope through responsibility and care. These continuous ESG practices have also led to Chery's inclusion in Fortune's "China ESG Impact List" for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025. Following this, on August 21st, Chery will once again collaborate with UNICEF to host a charitable event focused on African education in South Africa.

Standing at the new starting point of 5 million exported vehicles, Chery's overseas story has transcended mere corporate narrative. These 5 million vehicles are not just means of transportation; they are a testament to "Made in China with Intelligence" participating in global industrial restructuring, and they bear witness to Chery's magnificent leap from product output to co-building with global ecosystems. Chery, with 5 million vehicles as a benchmark, proves that true globalization means becoming a value creator for every locale. This is perhaps the core secret to the next 5 million-vehicle journey – not simply replicating success, but jointly defining a new paradigm for future mobility with the world.
