Chinese automaker Chery is considering cooperation with American automotive companies to enter the US market. This was stated by the company's Vice President, Charlie Zhang. According to him, the manufacturer is open to various partnership options, but specific potential participants and the format of cooperation have not yet been named.

The main obstacle remains restrictions on the import of Chinese cars and the use of technologies from China. The US has 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, as well as restrictions on software and equipment for connected cars. Under such conditions, cooperation with an American manufacturer could be one way to organize car production in compliance with local requirements.

Zhang stated that from a technical point of view, the company is capable of developing a car that will not depend on Chinese equipment and software. However, he did not specify which models could receive such a configuration and whether it would require separate development.

Chery already sells cars in Mexico and is preparing to launch one of its brands in the Canadian market in early 2027. In the US, the company does not yet operate as a full-fledged passenger car seller. In addition to the Chery brand, the concern develops the Omoda and Jaecoo brands, which are expanding their presence in foreign markets.

Potential cooperation with American companies could give Chery access to local production facilities and help adapt cars to US requirements. For American partners, such a project, in turn, could be a way to gain access to the technologies and production solutions of the Chinese automotive industry.
