Chery is set to sign a deal with a ‘premium’ European brand where the Chinese automaker will supply the latter party with one of its platforms, reports Automotive News Europe. This was confirmed by the Wuhu-rooted marque’s chairman Yin Tongyue recently.
"Two premium European marques want to use our platform and a deal will be signed with one of them, a more premium brand than us," said Yin last weekend during a livestreaming event promoting the automaker’s latest Exlantix ET flagship EV SUV marketed under its Exeed premium sub-brand.
Yin didn’t name these two premium brands yet, but an announcement is expected soon enough given the following facts.
As a refresher, the Exlantix ET flagship EV SUV model mentioned saw order books opened in China early last month. The model underpins Chery’s E0X high-end platform that supports both 400- and 800-volt EV architectures that’s packaged in sleek design matched with high-end on-board luxuries.
The exec has reportedly embarked on a European trip this week to sign this platform-supply deal with the still unnamed ‘premium’ European carmaker. At the same time, Yin also confirmed that Chery is negotiating with at least one other marque for the same platform-supply cooperation too.
In addition to these two brands that Chery is poised to finalise partnerships with, the state-owned automaker is also in talks with two other brands over possible collaborations, adds Yin. Presently, the Chinese firm has a joint-venture with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) to build its vehicles in China.
In the greater European Union (EU), Chery is also reportedly close to securing a deal with both the Spanish government and lead negotiator EV Motors. From this, Chery is poised to establish its first EU-based manufacturing site located in said Iberian Peninsula nation.
