This handover of the Omoda E5 to the MITI Minister was part of Chery Automobile’s official visit to Malaysia in search for new opportunities for the development of the Chery brand in our local market. Accompanying Chairman Yin Tong Yue during this visit are the president of Chery International Mr. Zhang Gui Bing, Chery International VP Mr. Chen Chun Qing, and many more top-rank management representatives.

To gain a clearer understanding of Malaysia's new automotive policies and trends, the senior executives held discussions with Malaysian automotive market players, Chery dealers investors, and other key industry representatives during the visit. All parties exchanged views on the progress of important projects in Malaysia for the group. They also delved into topics such as the development strategy of Chery Malaysia, and the layout of new energy vehicles.

“Malaysia is a crucial part of Chery's global strategy. The CKD factory invested by the group will not only cover the local Malaysian market but will also radiate throughout the entire Southeast Asian region, becoming a stronghold for new forces to enter Southeast Asia in the future,” said Chairman Yin Tong Yue.
