2026 Chery International User Summit Opens, Showcasing ECO-TECH Innovations for Future Living

WUHU, China, 19 October, 2026 — The 2026 Chery International User Summit opened today and runs through October 23. Bringing together more than 2,000 international users, dealers and ecosystem partners from over 130 countries and regions, the Summit is held under the theme “ECO-TECH FOR OUR FUTURE LIFE”. Against a backdrop of rising expectations for regulatory compliance, technological capabilities and user trust across global markets, Chery is demonstrating its transition beyond global vehicle delivery towards an integrated global strategy spanning technology, products, energy solutions and user ecosystems.

As one of the Group's key brands, CHERY Brand adopts “Together. For Family” as its theme, focusing on the mobility needs of families worldwide. Through a series of activities, including CHERY Brand Night, the CHERY SIVP Family Experience Camp and CHERY Brand Safety Challenge, the brand showcases the practical applications of its products and technologies in family mobility, demonstrating its commitment to “For Family”.

Four Core Technology Pillars Shape Future Living Across Three Key Scenarios

Chery Auto is building on four core technology pillars — CheryMind, its automotive domain-specific foundation model built for physical AI, integrated energy solutions, advanced driver assistance and embodied AI — to extend automotive-grade engineering into new fields. By connecting these capabilities through a shared intelligent foundation, the company is developing solutions across three key areas: intelligent mobility, intelligent energy and intelligent living.

In intelligent mobility, the CheryMind Automotive Domain-Specific Foundation Model supports the debut of the All-Dimensional World Engine, which in turn powers Falcon Pilot driver assistance, factory-integrated L4 Robotaxi solutions and the Lingxiao series of passenger-carrying electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Together, these technologies are designed to take mobility beyond the limits of geography and road conditions, across land, water and air.

In intelligent energy, Chery Volt-dragon Charger delivers efficient megawatt-level charging, while bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology allows electric vehicles to exchange power with the grid and take part in grid dispatch, turning them into mobile energy storage units.

In intelligent living, AiMOGA embodied AI robots are extending into homes and public services. Its Mobo home companion robot works alongside a broader portfolio of service robots to illustrate a future in which people, vehicles and robots live side by side with warmth.

From Vehicle Exports to Global Roots: Global R&D and Local Adaptation

As regulations and standards continue to evolve across international markets, Chery is building on 23 consecutive years leading Chinese passenger car brands on the global stage by taking its global strategy beyond vehicle sales.Its approach encompasses large AI models and intelligent driving solutions; integrated solar, energy storage and charging solutions with V2G technology; its brands, which share core technologies while each expressing a distinct character tailored to different customer preferences; and the deep involvement of owners and dealers worldwide in product definition.

At the heart of this strategy is global R&D tailored to local market requirements. Chery’s advanced driver assistance technologies have secured regulatory access in more than 130 countries and regions and completed certifications under frameworks including UN/ECE regulations. Integrated solar, energy storage, charging and V2G solutions have been deployed at a site in Spain, demonstrating their adaptability to weak-grid conditions. Meanwhile, AiMOGA embodied AI robots are operating across more than 100 scenarios in over 60 countries and regions, supporting deployment in markets with different grid conditions, road environments and consumer preferences.

More Than a Summit: A Real-World Testing Platform Open to the World

For Chery Auto, the Summit is designed not as a one-off showcase, but as an ongoing platform for technology demonstrations, real-world validation and international collaboration. Nearly 20 cutting-edge technologies and the company's nine brands will be showcased. Demonstrations will include Robotaxi operations on real city roads, Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP), Volt-dragon megawatt-level ultra-fast charging, V2G energy replenishment and green cycling event.

Focusing on the practical mobility needs of families, CHERY Brand will host the CHERY SIVP Family Experience Camp, demonstrating its “One Tap Departure” and “One Step Home” intelligent parking features through everyday scenarios such as school runs and family shopping trips. CHERY Brand will also host a global media test drive of the fully electric CHERY Q, giving journalists first-hand experience of its design, interior space, handling and smart features, with a focus on everyday urban and family travel. Across the Summit, these activities will connect technology with practical mobility needs.

The Summit may signal a broader shift in the globalisation of Chinese automakers, from delivering vehicles worldwide to integrating technology systems, energy solutions and user ecosystems together. As competition increasingly centres on integrated technological capabilities, Chery’s evolution from vehicle manufacturing towards a broader ecosystem-based model, and global delivery to local roots, offers a useful reference point for the next stage of global competition in the auto industry.
