On October 18, the 2025 Chery Global Innovation Conference, themed “Innovation · Intelligent Leadership Globally”, kicked off in Wuhu, Anhui. The conference systematically presented Chery’s latest achievements in cutting-edge fields such as electrification, connectivity, intelligence, and sharing. With “innovation” as its engine, it created a technology feast that drives the brand’s upward breakthrough and connects the global ecosystem, fully demonstrating Chery’s global competitiveness and future vision forged through global co-research, global sharing, and global symbiosis.
As a core segment of the conference, Chery Commercial Vehicles grandly showcased ten core technologies at the event, including the “Unmanned Logistics Vehicle”, “Chery Commercial Vehicle IoT Service Platform”, “Integrated Optical Drive Assembly”, and “Super Charging Drive System”.
Taking the Yaoguang Strategy as the Innovation Engine, the “Equal Rights for Passenger and Commercial Vehicles” Strategy Takes Root
Since the release of the Yaoguang Technology Strategy, Chery Group has pursued technological excellence, making innovation the core driving force for Chery (known for its technology) to continuously break through and surpass itself. Dr. Gao Xinhua, Executive Vice President and CTO of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., stated at the conference that Chery Group has now built a global technology innovation system, evolving from an “explorer” to a “leader” in global new energy. At the same time, the technology tree of Yaoguang’s five major technology fields continues to grow, with over 10 world-leading technologies to be released—including the Feiyu Chassis EMB, Ark Amphibious System, Kunpeng Tianqing Engine with 48% thermal efficiency, Boya Sound System, Falcon Intelligent Driving Large Model, and Lingxiao Flying Platform. These will form a world-class technological innovation system, helping China’s automotive industry continuously enhance its global influence.
As an important part of the group’s strategy, Chery Commercial Vehicles fully leverages this technological dividend. Relying on the R&D system accumulated by the group over 26 years, it has built core advantages of “shared technology origin, consistent quality standards, and common ecological sharing”. High-end achievements from the passenger vehicle sector—such as the “Lingxi Intelligent Cabin” interaction logic, “Falcon Intelligent Driving” L4-level autonomous driving algorithms, and “Kunpeng Power” three-electric technologies—are now realizing “technological equality” in the commercial vehicle field through the “Equal Rights for Passenger and Commercial Vehicles” strategy.
The group’s Yaoguang technology system provides end-to-end support for commercial vehicles, from underlying R&D to scenario-based applications. For example, the adaptive development of intelligent driving assistance algorithms for commercial vehicle scenarios, and the enhanced upgrading of new energy three-electric technologies around “cost reduction and efficiency improvement” are vivid practices of “technological equality”.
The exhibited technological achievements such as the “Unmanned Logistics Vehicle” and “Chery Commercial Vehicle IoT Service Platform” are not only a testament to Chery Commercial Vehicles’ own technological breakthroughs, but also key steps in the group’s “Yaoguang Strategy”. The Chery Commercial Vehicle IoT Service Platform can accurately address the industry pain points of “high empty driving rate and difficult scheduling” in freight transportation through “data modeling for 32 segmented scenarios”; the Unmanned Logistics Vehicle directly tackles the core issues of “high labor costs and low efficiency in last-mile logistics”—the former optimizes global capacity scheduling, while the latter unblocks the unmanned chain of last-mile logistics.
Anchoring the Core Goal of “Building Another High-Quality Chery”, Creating a World-Class Commercial Vehicle Brand
Anchoring the core goal of “building another high-quality Chery”, Chery Commercial Vehicles has positioned itself as a “core carrier of the intelligent logistics ecosystem” with distinctive features. It deeply integrates the global advantages of “passenger-commercial integration” and technological breakthroughs in “new energy + intelligence”, and collaborates with the group to build a “world-class commercial vehicle brand”, contributing Chinese wisdom and strength to the global commercial vehicle industry.
Breaking Through with Global Strategy, Building a World-Class Commercial Vehicle System with Technological Foundation
In his speech at the conference, Yin Tongyue, Chairman of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., clearly stated that Chery will promote enterprise transformation through a global innovation system and aspire to become a global high-tech ecological group loved and trusted by users. To this end, Chery Commercial Vehicles will rely on Chery Group’s 26 years of technological accumulation, share Yaoguang’s five major technology fields (with the technology tree continuing to grow), realize equal technological rights between passenger and commercial vehicles, align with the group’s smart manufacturing system, and build a core technological foundation for its global strategy.
Chery Commercial Vehicles will invest heavily in building world-class capabilities. Aligning with global top standards, it plans to invest a total of 30 billion yuan in R&D funds by 2030, establish an R&D team of 4,000 people, and simultaneously build a global R&D system covering Wuhu, Shanghai, Hefei (China), as well as the United States, South America, Europe, Japan, and other regions. Through collaborative innovation between local insights and global technologies, it will continuously consolidate its technological moat. It will comprehensively enhance product strength in six quality dimensions—”reliability, comfort, durability, intelligence, economy, and safety”—and reshape the value benchmark of commercial vehicles with “passenger vehicle standards”. Advancing steadily through the path of “technology leadership → product leadership → market leadership”, it will ensure that it seizes opportunities amid industry transformation.
In the future, Chery Commercial Vehicles will continue to deepen group collaboration through the “Equal Rights for Passenger and Commercial Vehicles” strategy, co-create an “intelligent logistics ecosystem” with users, deliver advanced technology for a better life, and drive a green future.
