Business in Russia

The Chinese car manufacturer Chery is studying the possibility of localization of production in Russia. The company can launch its own car production in the Russian Federation or open a factory under the terms of partnership, said the president of Chery International, Zhang Guibin.

Decision trail

Decision date 11/07/2023 · Reference ↗

Chery is ready to organize the release of its cars in Russia. The Chinese car concern can start assembly at another Sollers plant or buy out the assembly facilities. There are already eight brands from China in the top ten best-selling new cars in Russia at the end of 2023. Or even nine - depending on how you consider Moskvich: it is produced in Moscow and is considered Russian, but copies of Chinese JAC JS crossovers come off the assembly line under this name. Each of the top three Chinese brands in sales - Haval, Geely and Chery - sells more than 10,000 cars per month. Significantly increased revenue in 2023 vs 2022 (more than 3x! times). The ex-Mercedes plant in Yesipovo near Moscow, which was transferred to Avtodom, will assemble premium cars from the Chery concern under a contract assembly agreement.
