Chery to preview 3 NEV models this week

Chery Auto Philippines (CAP) is set to preview three more new energy vehicles at the 11th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit.

Without identifying the models, the Chinese automotive manufacturer’s arm in the country said that it will display two fully-electric models and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) on October 19-21 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

At the brand’s local relaunch last July, CAP Managing Director Froilan Dytianquin highlighted the company’s new direction towards electrification.

“Chery Auto Philippines wants to be at the forefront of change promoting a new era of green mobility. This path we are heading to aligns with Chery’s global advocacy to promote green mobility through technological innovation… Essentially, Chery’s current model lineup will be further complemented with complete new energy derivatives such as Hybrids, PHEVs and new full Electric Vehicle models,” the company executive was quoted as saying.

"With the preview of these new energy vehicles, we want to show Chery’s commitment towards preservation of the environment and at the same time provide customers alternatives for electric mobility to offset the rising fossil fuel costs,” Dytianquin added. 

Locally, Chery currently retails three hybrid models: the Tiggo 8 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid, and Tiggo 5X Pro Hybrid. To note, the Tiggo 5X Pro Hybrid and 7 Pro Hybrid had their local debut at the Manila International Auto Show 2023 while the Tiggo 8 PHEV, at the same exposition last year.
