In order to make Beijing Olympic Games successful, people were not only exceptionally busy with various preparations in arenas sectors outside of the arenas also went all out to providing supportive services. In addition to big investment of the government, Chery also tried its best to assist in transportation and security of the Games.

National Enterprise’s Duty to Serve the Country
Beijing Olympic Games, as the first Games hosted by China, did only means sports events only in China. China had put a lot of manpower and materials into the construction and organizing of the Games starting from the successful application for hosting the Games in 2001. With the approaching of the Games, providing the athletes and the audiences with a fresh and secure environment gradually became an important affecting success of the Games. Therefore, an “Olympic” plan with the theme of “Green Olympic” and “Olympic in Peace” gradually became more and more complete. The 3 emergency-dealing SPVs and A5 HVs provided by Chery for the Games was an important part of the plan.
In order to support the implementation of the plan of “Green Olympic” and “Olympic in Peace”, Chery took an early time to make plans about the products in accordance with the critical Olympic requirements of security and environmental protection, and formulated and implemented detailed and strict system of product standard in accordance the highest international level. After having invested a lot science and research efforts in active exploration and research, Chery finally developed world class technology of protective vehicle and hybrid vehicle. All these were intended to secure the success of the Games.

The media commented that the value of Chery as a leading enterprise of China’s self owned auto brand was not only because it let the world see the strength and fruits of China’s national auto industry but because , more importantly, it was worthy of being a “leading company” since it actively provided quality services to protect the society for the Games, and , at the same time, used behaviors to remind other national enterprises to actively bear social responsibility and implement their obligation to the society, which were the base for an enterprise to develop and make progress.
Performing Responsibility Needs to be Secured by Technology and Strength
An enterprise serving the Games needed not only high sense of social responsibility but certain technical strength since the scope and complexity of all services and assistance to be provided to the Games could not be matched by those of an ordinary international event.

here were critical selection standards. If Chery had not great technology and strength, it could not have been selected eventually. It was just because of its years of devotion and efforts in technological research and development that it could meet many standards, eliminate many obstacles, successfully defeat various competitors including world-renowned enterprises, be acknowledged by the Olympic Security Dept. and Transportation Department, and finally succeed. All can be seen in Tiggo 3 Emergency-Dealing SPV and A5 HV.

In order to improve the overall protection level of Tiggo 3 Emergency-Dealing SPVs, methods different from normal foreign refitting methods were used. Full consideration was given to problems brought by addition of various protections and even to problems brought to “manufacture” of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the design was also appropriately adjusted. Theses secured that the various items of performance of the SPV could still meet various technical standards of the original vehicle. It was commonly acknowledged as the real first class protective vehicle in the world by experts of the industry and was appraised by people both at home and abroad, including important political figures of various countries.

In addition, a vehicle team of 50 Chery A5 “Green Ambassador” with BSG and ISG hybrid power technology was also served the guests of the Games. They were energy efficient with reduced displacement volume, which fully displayed the newest achievements of Chery in independently-owned science and technology research and development. Compared with other vehicles, oil consumption of A5 BSG in urban working condition was around 10%-15%, with carbon dioxide displacement volume reduced by around 12% and displacement volume in conformity with National Light Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard No. IV; compared with vehicles of the same displacement volume, oil consumption of A5 ISG in urban working condition could reach 25%-30% with carbon dioxide displacement volume reduced by around 12% and displacement volume in conformity with European V standard.

Incumbent on Chery to Reward the Society
Serving the Games was only part of the work that Chery Automobile had done to perform its social responsibilities. In recent years, it had constantly involved in various public interest undertakings of the society. From aid to dropouts to donation of RMB24milion to Wenchuan, no matter where enterprises were needed to provide active support, Chery could always manage to appear quickly and provide various aids and assistance

The reason why Chery did this was because of social responsibilities that a national enterprise should bear and because of its earnest commitment made to the society at the very beginning of its establishment. This was again confirmed by Yin Tongyao, General Manager of Chery, at “China’s Industrial Manufacture Approaching Chery Seminar 2008”. He deemed that enterprises should have four responsibilities, that is, political responsibility, economic responsibility, social responsibility, and moral responsibility.
Therefore, it can be found that the hard efforts that Chery made to provide assistance and complete services for the Games not only fully reflected its high sense of social responsibility but also interpreted its social responsibility in the new era in a completely new way.
