Zhang added that Southeast Asia will become an essential component of Chery’s further globalisation, especially Indonesia, the country with the largest economy and population in ASEAN.
Previously, Chery has confirmed plans to build a vehicle manufacturing plant in Indonesia, but did not disclose the location.
9 Chery models confirmed for Indonesia
Zhang also added that Indonesia is rich in mineral resources, and its nickel reserves rank first in the world, which is extremely beneficial to the development of the new energy vehicle industry. Chery expects to cumulatively launch nine models in Indonesia, mainly pure electric and plug-in hybrid models.
Moreover, the company will further develop the industrial chain in Indonesia, including the integration of mineral resources, batteries and vehicle production, and contribute greatly to economic and social development through promoting the transformation and upgrading of Indonesia’s automotive industry.
