In the aspect of core parts and components, such technologies as CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), 6AT (6-speed automatic Transmission), EPB (Electrical Park Brake), ABS (Anti-lock brake systems) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) have also filled the blank in China.
Chery's CVT will be put into production completely in the first half of this year, which will be matched with those engines with main emission volumes ranging from 1.6L to 2.0L; a breakthrough on the development of AT gearboxes has also been made, and the 6AT gearbox with the function of integrated manual/automatic transmission is expected to be put into production in the end of 2011; in the field of engines, in 2010, Chery will launch 9 types of brand new engine products including gasoline and diesel engines into market, relating to many advanced technologies, such as VVT (variable valve timing), GDI (gasoline direct injection) and voltage increase.
The development and production of these key parts and components has broken the technical monopolization of trans-national companies, decreased the cost of manufacturing and developing entire autos sharply, shortened development cycle and laid significant foundation for the internationalization of those autos with self-owned brands.
In the aspect of new energy resource, the year of 2010 is a key period for expediting the course of industrialization and marketization of new energy resource technologies.
This year, Chery will realize industrialization in the products of Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle equipped with Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), the oil conservation rate of which has reached 30 percent, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV).
In the whole year of 2010, there will be 6 types of new energy products applying ISG, PHEV and EV technologies being launched into the market, the action which means a breakthrough in new resource technologies and makes Chery the leader in the industrialization of new energy autos in China.
In 2007, Chery's 1 millionth auto rolled off the production line. It indicated that Chery has realized the first development stage, in which Chery developed to a scale rapidly from scratch, and entered a new development stage, in which improving the quality of product and services and advancing the value and image of brands are taken as the core, the development pace is boosted by the promotion of quality and brand, and the product structure and growth quality are improved.
