Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. or more popularly known as Chery is a car manufacturing label from China, particularly in the Anhui Province. It has been selling passenger vehicles since 1997 when it was built by the Chinese government. Meaning, Chery is a corporation owned by the state.

They usually sell minivans, SUVs, and cars. Since its conception in 1997, it has been on top of the production and became the 10th largest automobile manufacturer in 2012.

But did you know that they only started making automobiles in 1999? And they started exporting only in 2001? Chery also did partnerships with Qoros, an Israel Corporation in 2007 and paved its way to tie up with Jaguar Land Rover in 2012.

These partnerships led to the opening of many component manufacturing plants and assembly facilities in China, and several assembly facilities in 15 other countries.

Chery has successfully sold over 700,000 units in 2010 making them the 7th most productive Chinese automobile maker. Unfortunately, their sales went a little bit down in 2011 and 2012 with 640,000 and 590,000, respectively. This is most probably because of the sudden mix in their manufacturing process among the product lines they put out in the market.

Chery also offers electric automobiles to get by with the technology today. They have started an agreement with foreign companies to start the mass production. In 2009, Chery has successfully introduced its first ever all-electric vehicle, the S18.
