Chery plans to localize the production of several of its cars in Russia, including the latest Chery Tiggo 9 crossover. This was announced by Executive Vice Director of Chery Automobiles Rus JSC, Mr. Aaron, to "Auto News of the Day."
Chery has plans to localize car production in Russia. This will be an important step for the further promotion of the company in the Russian market.
The regions of Russia where such production facilities may be opened are not disclosed. This information is confidential. The timing of this initiative has not yet been announced.
The model range of cars for localization also remains a secret. However, a top manager at Chery noted that one of the models that the company does not exclude the possibility of assembling in Russia is the new flagship Chery Tiggo 9 crossover. Russia became the first foreign country where it went on sale a few days ago.
