Chinese Auto Giant Chery Wants To Crack The U.S. Market. It Thinks Detroit Could Help
Chinese auto giant Chery Automobile is open to partnering with a domestic U.S. automaker to build and sell vehicles in America. While Chery believes a Detroit partnership could help crack the U.S. market, severe obstacles stand in the way. Tariffs above 100 percent, strict data rules, and political risk complicate any potential deal. Additionally, a ban on cars made with Chinese hardware and software presents a major hurdle for the company. Despite these barriers, Chery is also targeting a Canadian market entry by early 2027 as part of its broader regional expansion strategy.
