Joint ventures change
Chery operates car-making joint ventures with Jaguar Land Rover and Israel Corporation,[13] and automotive component-manufacturing joint ventures with Arvin Meritor, Johnson Controls, and PPG Industries.[14]
Chery Jaguar Land Rover change
In March 2012, Chery and the UK-based luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover agreed to invest an initial US$2.78 billion in a new China-based joint venture that will sell and manufacture Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles and engines, as well as establish a research and development facility and create a new "own-brand" automobile marque.[15] The joint venture received regulatory approval in September 2012.[16] An initial production base will be built in Changshu, a county-level city close to Shanghai.[17][better source needed]
In 2013 Chery began manufacturing a redesigned MOKE revival. The design evokes the classic Mini Moke built from 1964 until 1993.[18]
Qoros change
Its first car-making joint venture with a foreign firm, Qoros was established by Chery in cooperation with Israel Corporation in 2007, and planned to begin sales in 2013.[19] Set to unveil a sedan atop a brand-new platform[19] at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show,[20] Qoros' debut models will not be electric vehicles (as some sources may have reported).[19] A proposed production base for the venture will be built in Changshu, Jiangsu province, and become operational in 2012.[21] Production capacity will be 150,000 units a year,[22] but the location may not run at full capacity until 2015 or 2016.[23] While Qoros professes its desire to sell to young city dwellers[24] in China and Europe,[19] The company does have plans to include electric vehicles in its lineup.[19]
Higher-end Qoros cars are built with components and systems from foreign suppliers such as American Visteon and French Valeo.[25] Its engine design also required assistance from a foreign firm,[23] and Qoros has attracted western talent including former employees of Volkswagen and Mini.[22] It has sites in Austria and Germany as of 2012.[24]
Although initially known as Chery Quantum Auto Co Ltd, its legal name is now Qoros Auto Co Ltd.[19] The eponymous brand name sounds like the English word "chorus".[19]
