Chery’s Omoda could build cars in the UK
09 September 2024
China new entrant Chery is “weighing up the possibility of building cars in the UK,” according to UK head Victor Zhang. It is already preparing to build cars in Spain, at a former Nissan factory.
“For the UK, we are also evaluating. To be honest, we are open for all options and opportunities.”
Chery’s Omoda and Jaecoo brands are focused on the international market. Omoda has now launched in the UK and currently has a network of 60 retailers – which it hopes to build to more than 100 by the end of the year.
“While we cannot speculate on commercial investment decisions,” said a spokesperson for the Department for Business,” “We welcome Chery International’s Omoda launch in the UK and would positively view any new investment in the UK.”
Chery has also been talking to the Italian government about setting up production there.
Next month, Auto Retail Network will publish its latest New Entrants Report. The launch will coincide with a webinar, more details of which will follow later this month.
