Driven mainly by the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 series, Chery’s cumulative export volume currently accounts for a fifth of the total export volume of Chinese automobiles over the same period.

In 2022, the industrial internet platform HiGOPlat, built by Chery and COSMOPlat, was put into operation and applied in Chery Qingdao Super Factory and Chery Wuhu Super Factory in succession, establishing a new production mode of mass individual customisation and creating a pace-setting ‘beacon factory’, which became a successful practice for Chery in exploring an intelligent factory construction empowered by the industrial internet.
For 2023, the Chery Group will strive to maintain growth in annual sales volume and in other major business indicators, to achieve a sustained improvement in business quality in order to successfully rank among the world’s top automotive enterprises in the near future.
