Chery’s Fruitful July, 50K Units Exported In A Single Month

Strengthening its presence in the auto industry, Chery has become the first Chinese car manufacturer to export more than 50,000 vehicles in a single month.

For the month of July, the brand sold 50,614 units outside of China, which is a 90.1% year-on-year (YoY) growth, out of a global total of 131,533 units (57.7% YoY).

This notable performance means that from January to July 2022, Chery has exported nearly 200,000 vehicles (36.8% YoY), or about a third of its global sales total so far this year. 

Outstandingly, the brand is deeply committed to its globalisation strategy and continues to make stable, yet powerful strides in overseas markets. 

Since the start of the year, Chery has broken the Chinese auto brand monthly export records held by itself, charting a 60.5% average growth rate in exports over the past three months.

The Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 7 series models continue to win the approval of more and more global consumers. 

Notably, 31,263 units of the former were exported in the first seven months of 2022 (43.3% YoY), at which it was used as presidential and state transport in several countries and regions.

In Egypt specifically, Chery sold 1,846 units in July, boosting its January to July sales total to 12,591 units, whereas its January to June market share stands at 11.42%. 

Meanwhile in South Africa, 1,262 units were sold in July, lifting its January to July sales total to 6,380 units, and yielding a 4.01% market share, also a record high.

Elsewhere, in the second half of 2022, Chery will further strengthen its brand, product and customer operations, and continuously expand its channels to accelerate the launch of new vehicles. 

Prime among these is the OMODA 5, the first member of Chery’s new global OMODA series that will make its way across the globe with its technology-rich features and trendy design.

That said, in line with the global automotive trend towards new energy vehicles (NEV), Chery targets to implement NEV launches in 14 countries this year. 

Namely, in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, covering a variety of powertrains such as pure electric, plug-in hybrid and 48V mild hybrid systems.
