CHERY Fuel Models: Global Intelligence, Made-in-China Fuel Vehicle Stalwarts

In the global automobile industry layout, CHERY Automobile occupies a place in the field of fuel automobile by virtue of its profound technical background and strong production and research and development ability. 1995, the leaders of Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China, bought Ford’s engine production line during the European automobile inspection, and formally opened their automobile project. CHERY AUTO was formally established in 1997. In 1999, the first engine of CHERY AUTO came off the production line smoothly and ignited successfully; in December of the same year, the first sedan came off the production line, which marked CHERY AUTO’s formal entry into the field of automobile manufacturing. As time goes by, CHERY continues to develop and grow, and in 2007, CHERY rolled out its one millionth car, becoming the first independent passenger car brand in China to break through the “one million” scale of automobiles. CHERY has always taken “technology-based enterprise” as its development strategy, and after more than 26 years of development, it has formed a complete product line covering passenger cars, commercial vehicles and mini-vehicles.

CHERY AUTO has several modernized production bases including: Wuhu production base, Dalian production base and so on. These production bases are equipped with four modernized workshops of stamping, welding, painting and assembly, which adopt automated production lines and advanced production technology, especially the automation rate of the welding workshop has reached 99%. In the painting workshop, the factory adopts the German Dürr painting line, which not only greatly improves the painting efficiency of the vehicle, but also ensures the stability of the overall production. In addition, the production base has introduced a strict quality management system, established a globally unified QMS quality system, and followed high standards and strict requirements in all aspects from vehicle components to vehicle assembly to ensure that every vehicle produced has excellent quality. CHERY Automobile also introduces the intelligent AI program, which realizes the informatization and intelligence of the vehicle, and is able to monitor all aspects of the production process in real time, and is able to detect and solve problems in time. Overseas, CHERY Auto has also established several production bases. The vehicle production plant in Brazil currently has an annual production capacity of more than 150,000 vehicles and its localization rate is more than 60%; the Russian plant produces vehicles that mainly radiate to countries in the Eastern European market; the KD plant in the Middle East produces vehicles that mainly satisfy the needs of the Gulf region, and most of the vehicles produced are right-hand drive models. CHERY Auto’s strategy of “technology-based enterprise” makes it attach great importance to the investment in product technology research and development, and brings together talents from all over the world. The R&D center in Shanghai is mainly responsible for the field of vehicle engineering and powertrain system; the R&D center in Germany is mainly responsible for the chassis tuning of the vehicle, and the R&D center in Germany is mainly responsible for the chassis tuning of the vehicle.Not only that, they also participate in the European Union’s certification of vehicles to ensure that the vehicles can meet local sales requirements; Japan’s R&D center focuses on joining forces with Toyota’s team of experts, focusing on fine-tuning the study of the car’s interior; and North America’s R&D center will be docked to the Silicon Valley’s innovative resources to study intelligent Internet technology. The R&D teams at home and abroad collaborate with each other to deeply understand the needs of different countries and regions and propose solutions, so that CHERY Auto’s products are more in line with the international market demand.

CHERY Fuel Vehicle’s core technological advantages include the following:

  1. Vehicle engine: CHERY automobile fuel model adopts the third generation of ACTECO engine series, which is a technological innovation for the combustion process when the vehicle is traveling. The overall design of the combustion chamber adopts fish-belly air intake plus Mask, which improves turbulence energy by 30%. 350bar high-pressure direct injection system makes the fuel atomization particle size of the vehicle less than 8μm, and the vehicle’s intelligent thermal management system realizes the engine’s warm-up time to be shortened by 40%. The body structure adopts an all-aluminum cylinder block, which reduces weight by 30% and improves strength by 15% compared with other models in the same class. The vehicle’s plasma spraying cylinder liner technology reduces the vehicle’s wear by 50%.
  2. Vehicle transmission technology: CHERY fuel models are equipped with a CVT25 continuously variable transmission, with a push-type steel belt structure with a torque converter for smoother and smoother shifting while the vehicle is in motion. The brand’s original “double pump system” can reduce the drag loss by 30%. 9DCT wet dual clutch adopts a three-axis gear layout, which reduces the axial size of the vehicle by 15%, and the vehicle’s intelligent pre-shift technology enables the vehicle’s shift time to be less than 200 ms. The heat-resistant temperature of the friction material of the clutch plate of the fuel model has reached 450℃. The heat-resistant temperature of the friction material of the clutch plate of the fuel model has reached 450℃.
  3. T1X Modular Platform: The CHERY fuel model adopts the T1X modular platform, which has a wheelbase bandwidth between 2560-2800mm, covering the A0-B class. The torsional stiffness of the vehicle body is 28,000N-m/deg, which is in a leading position compared to its class. The optimized front-end collision energy absorption path of the vehicle has resulted in a 20% improvement in the vehicle’s small-offset crash performance, and the one-piece hot-formed steel material for the door rings has resulted in a tensile strength of 1,500 MPa.
  4. Intelligent thermal management system: The engine, transmission and air-conditioning of CHERY fuel vehicles are independently controlled in three cycles, and the electronic water pump flow of the vehicle can be accurate to ±3%. This kind of intelligent thermal management system can shorten the warm air time to 90 seconds in low temperature environment. In addition, the vehicle’s waste heat recovery system is able to utilize the EGR waste heat to increase the catalytic converter’s ignition speed, thus reducing the vehicle’s fuel consumption by 8-12% in winter.

Fuel models of CHERY cars include Arrizo 8, Arrizo 8 GT, Chery Fulgur, Arrizo 5, Arrizo 5 PLUS, Arrizo 5 PRO, Tiggo 8, Tiggo 8 PRO, Tiggo 8 MAX, Tiggo 8 L, Tiggo 7, Tiggo 7PRO、Tiggo 9 etc.
