About Chery Automobile
Chery Automobile develops, manufactures and sells passenger vehicles through a multi-brand portfolio serving markets in China and overseas. Its engineering base covers vehicle platforms, powertrains, electrification, connected systems and driver-assistance functions integrated into production models.
Within intelligent driving, Chery deploys ADAS features including adaptive cruise control, lane support, autonomous emergency braking and automated parking. The company is extending this work through international R&D and validation programmes, including a planned engineering centre at UTAC Millbrook in the United Kingdom that will begin with chassis and driver-assistance work before expanding into autonomous driving and AI.
