Built on mutual respect, trust, and stable collaboration, it marks a renewed "two-way partnership" between Chery and its worldwide dealer network, creating a distinctive "Chery Model" for sustainable development. Furthermore, building upon this initiative, Chery also announced sustainable development goals for the industry: by 2026, Chery aims to achieve a 5% reduction in average vehicle lifecycle emissions, a 5% decrease in electricity and water consumption per vehicle, and a 2% reduction in hazardous waste intensity. These targets not only signify Chery's ongoing commitment to ESG principles and its role as a responsible global corporate citizen but also represent a new mission for Chinese automobiles in their globalization efforts.
