Chery Surpasses 20 Million Global Sales, With All-New FULWIN as Milestone Vehicle

Chery Group's 20 millionth vehicle is an all-new FULWIN, a coupe Chery positions as a "long-range, smart and elegant pure-electric" model. The original FULWIN was Chery's first vehicle and the first Chery to enter overseas markets; today the line has been renewed as a range of intelligent new-energy vehicles. Chery says the milestone marks a comprehensive upgrade of its product and quality systems and embodies its "From China to the World" commitment. The company reached this point 29 years after its founding—in the same month that New China's automotive industry celebrates 70 years since its first vehicle rolled off the line—and, as it approaches its 30th anniversary in 2027, says it is moving from "building cars" to "creating sustainable and better lifestyles."

In the first half of this year, Chery exported 943,800 vehicles, up 71.5% year on year, and set a new monthly export record for Chinese automakers for four consecutive months—an average of one "Chery-made" vehicle heading overseas every 17 seconds. Products are sold in more than 130 countries and regions, and overseas users number nearly seven million, about 35% of all 20 million Chery owners, meaning one in three owners is overseas. From January to June, Chery sold 174,000 vehicles in Europe, up more than 212% year on year; in the UK it was among the top two brands in the entire new-car market for four consecutive months.

In May, Romanian Dragos Stan drove a CHERY Brand TIGGO9 CSH across eight countries in Eurasia. He covered 12,000 kilometres in 25 days and arrived at Chery's Wuhu headquarters with zero faults. Chery says trust of this kind is gathering momentum worldwide.

Chery says it is accelerating from "product export" to "value-led growth" and sees itself as a locally rooted "tree planter." At its European Operations Centre in Barcelona on 14 May, it announced footballer Robert Lewandowski as CHERY Brand Global Ambassador and handed him the key to a TIGGO9 CSH, communicating its "For Family" value proposition. On 3 July, in Pretoria, South Africa, Chery said it would renovate and upgrade the Rosslyn plant it had acquired from a foreign company, restoring production, retaining all 692 employees and creating nearly 3,000 upstream and downstream jobs; the announcement drew cheers on site. In 2024, it partnered with Spain's EV MOTORS to revive the historic EBRO brand, creating more than 1,000 jobs and winning praise from both governments and the public as a model of China-Spain collaboration. Chery Group now has 150,000 employees worldwide, including more than 20,000 overseas employees, and supports millions of jobs along the value chain.

Chery's global footprint spans complete vehicle manufacturing, core components, automotive finance, embodied-intelligence robotics, modern services and intelligent technology; in the 2026 Fortune China 500 it was included for the first time as a listed company, ranking 87th, with return on equity first in the automotive sector. Its advanced technology portfolio has accumulated more than 400 technologies, including the Rhino Battery, a large AI model for intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit technologies and CSH (Chery Super Hybrid), covering a technology roadmap across land, sea and air. Chery says carbon-footprint coverage reaches 100% across models on sale, and it works with the IUCN on seagrass-bed restoration in Spain, mangrove conservation in Malaysia and key nature-conservation areas in South Africa. As a global UNICEF partner, Chery has pledged USD 12 million in cumulative donations since 2023 to support global education. The company says its mission is to help Chinese brands grow from big to strong and to help Chinese automobiles change the global automotive industry.
