According to some chinese news sources, Chery Automobile reached the 800,000th car milestone and it was a Chery QQ6 car, a model launched last year. From the 50,000 cars made 5 years ago, to the 189,000 that were made 2 years ago and to the 300,000 Chery cars made last year, the chinese auto manufacturer continued to grow in size and reputation. At maximum capacity, the Chery plant can make 350,000 cars per year, 400,000 engines and 300,000 transmissions. The plans for 2007 are to export twice the number of cars they did last year. And the partnership that they're close to signing with Chrysler is another success of the Chery Automobile. They will make small cars for the american market, benefiting from the wide network of dealerships that Chrysler has.
All in all, it just keeps getting better and better for Chery.

Chery officialy partners with Chrysler
Though Chrysler isn't exactly peachy in the finance department, some possible good news they still got. Its been announced that they will team up with Chery Automobile to make the next subcompact car for the north-american car manufacturer. Now that Chrysler said yes, its Chery's turn to get their approvals from the chinese leadership. Its doubtful they will stall on this, since this is a brilliant opportunity for Chery to enter the american market. Chrysler doesn't have a car in the B category, a very important one, and Chery will help them get it.
One of the problems is the engine, since Chrysler has only big ones. This means one of two options: either they take a Chery engine and upgrade it to meet environment standards or they make a new engine.
Its not gonna be easy. Chery needs to match the Japanese and Korean quality, safety and reliability. Initially it was supposed to be the Hornet this new car, but it will be a new one in the end.
