About

Chery Automobile was founded in 1997 in Wuhu, Anhui province, making it one of China’s oldest independent carmakers. It built its early reputation on affordable sedans and SUVs sold domestically, then became the country’s largest vehicle exporter, shipping cars to Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and Europe years before most Chinese rivals had an export strategy.

The core Chery brand still sells sedans, SUVs and a growing range of EVs and plug-in hybrids in China, including the Fulwin (Fengyun) sub-line. Alongside it, Chery has built a family of export-focused brands with distinct identities: Jaecoo and Omoda for adventure-styled and mainstream SUVs, and Exeed for a more premium positioning, all engineered on shared Chery platforms.

Chery listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in September 2025, the largest automotive IPO on that exchange that year, moving the company from a purely state-owned structure to one co-owned by the Anhui and Wuhu governments, employees and private investors.
