OREANDA-NEWS. September 25, 2012.  For Chery, an “emerging” force in the international auto market, its steady development in recent two years has drawn close attention from the global auto world. Chery exported 160,200 units in 2011, up 73 percent year on year, hitting a new high in exports among Chinese independent automakers. In May and June 2012, Chery’s monthly sales topped “20,000 units”. In the first half 2012, Chery exported 92,494 units, up 28.8 percent year on year, laying a solid foundation for fulfilling the target of annual exports of 170,000 units. The brilliant results were attributable to Chery’s elaborate overseas market distribution, fine models launched by Chery and their technical strength. Chery’s core auto technology is exactly the powertrain represented by ACTECO.


 Chery’s customers are all too familiar with ACTECO. When they lift the bonnet of their beloved cars, a string of red letters will come into view--“ACTECO”, the mark of Chery engines. It is exactly Chery’s ACTECO-represented “hard power strength”, and major power for “winning overseas markets by technology” and steadily developing overseas markets.

Chery carried out deep cooperation with European top engine design company--AVL, Austria at first, further integrated technical resources worldwide and absorbed several global cutting-edge engine technologies afterwards, achieved a breakthrough of Chinese automakers in the field of new-generation high-performance auto engines, became a strong power for driving the globalization of Chinese passenger vehicles. On ACTECO platform, Chery has fully and independently mastered global mainstream cutting-edge technologies including CBR (Controlled Burn Rate), VVT (Variable Valve Timing) and TGDI (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection), and has been able to accomplish near-ideal “complete combustion” through EMS (Engine Management System) according to different working conditions of engines, thus enhancing engine dynamic performance and fuel economy, and reducing harmful gas emission. On this basis, Chery has made emissions fully up to “Euro IV” standards with key technologies of reducing exhaust emissions including exhaust gas recirculation and tightly coupled three-way catalysis, and has set aside the space for upgrade to “Euro V” standards. This also implies Chery has entered a new stage in the R & D and design of advanced clean internal combustion engines.
 
 During manufacturing ACTECO engines, Chery uses the latest processes and introduced world top production lines from Germany and Italy. To meet the requirements of high precision and wide range, Chery has set up several flexible production lines. To meet the overall requirements of “high speed, digital control, flexibility and networkization”, Chery has extensively used the world’s most advanced CBN and PCE cutters, as well as technologies including cutter inner cooling, bus control, remote diagnosis, error prevention and correction, and conducted dynamic and real-time monitoring of all production equipment through network, thus ensuring engine quality.
 
 Thanks to the above-mentioned advantages in technology and quality, ACTECO was listed among “China’s top ten engines” in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011, and became China’s star engine comparable to renowned engines from BMW, Honda and Toyota.
 
 Over seven years’ use by over a million Chery customers proves that ACTECO perfectly interprets Chery’s business concept and manufacturing concept of “more energy-conserving, more environment-friendly”, is well recognized as a powerful and economical engine, and shows greater market competitiveness in the era when oil prices soar, thus creating a situation of hot sale of Chery’s fine models.
