On July 29, 2025, the Fortune Global 500 list was unveiled. Chery Holding Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chery") made the list again, ranking 233rd - a remarkable jump of 152 spots from its 2024 position, making it the fastest-rising automaker in this year's ranking.

Chery ranks 233rd on the 2025 Fortune Global 500 List

Over 28 years, Chery has transformed from a humble 'thatched hut' on barren riverside land into a Fortune Global 500 company. In 2024, it made its debut on the prestigious list at 385th, marking its evolution from grassroots beginnings to global recognition. In 2025, Chery not only defended its position but also became the fastest-rising automaker in the ranking. This milestone signifies its metamorphosis from an industry "dark horse" into "frontrunner", showcasing what we call "Chery’s Acceleration".

From dark horse to frontrunner, Chery's ability to turn the impossible into reality and achieve qualitative leaps lies in its steadfast commitment to long-termism - the foundational philosophy for building an enduring century-old enterprise.

Chery's commitment to long-termism is anchored in pioneering future technologies to sustain the competitive edge of 'Technology-driven Chery.' The company consistently prioritizes substantial R&D investments, focusing on groundbreaking innovations from concept to realization. This approach is embodied in its comprehensive research ecosystem - over 300 cutting-edge Yao Guang Laboratories within its facilities, complemented by the Kaiyang Laboratories collaborating with more than 60 global academic institutions. These strategic initiatives have cemented Chery's leadership across critical technological domains including electrification, intelligent systems, and sustainable green solutions. In the first half of this year, Chery hosted a series of landmark events - "Intelligence Night," "Hybrid Night," and "Safety Night" - showcasing breakthrough innovations that underscore the company's capability and confidence to compete in the world's most demanding, regulation-intensive premium automotive markets.

As a pioneer in green mobility, Chery demonstrates its technological leadership through its groundbreaking Chery Super Hybrid (CSH)—a multidimensional innovation that integrates a dedicated hybrid engine, the stepless super electric hybrid DHT, high-performance hybrid batteries, and the Guardian battery safety system. This sophisticated architecture delivers unmatched advancements in energy efficiency and range, power performance, and scenario adaptability, promoting equitable access and value for global hybrid technology.

Chery's commitment to long-termism is reflected in its relentless pursuit of brand elevation, aiming to become a world-class automotive brand cherished by consumers worldwide. By driving continuous quality upgrades and product innovation, Chery adheres to the most stringent global testing standards. It holds the distinction of being the Chinese automaker with the highest number of global "five-star" certifications—with 41 models earning top ratings from C-NCAP (China), E-NCAP (Europe), A-NCAP (Australia), and Six-Dimensional Battery Safety assessments. In J.D. Power’s 2024 studies, Chery emerged as the top-performing Chinese brand across three critical categories: Initial Quality Study (IQS), Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI), and Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL), making it the only Chinese automaker to secure this “Triple Crown.” Building on this success, Chery claimed the top spot again in J.D. Power’s 2025 Sales Satisfaction Index rankings for Chinese brands, further solidifying its leadership in customer satisfaction.

Chery's products have consistently set new benchmarks through rigorous real-world validation across continents. The brand's CSH hybrid models demonstrated exceptional versatility by completing the "Endless Horizon Worry-Free Voyage" endurance challenge in diverse terrains from China to South Africa, proving their adaptability for all scenarios. As the first Chinese automaker to conduct comprehensive safety tests in six of the world's most extreme environments—cold, heat, dryness, humidity, high-speed conditions, and rough terrain—Chery has redefined industry standards for resilience. One standout achievement occurred during the extreme humidity battery test in Jakarta, where CSH "Guardian Battery" maintained flawless operation after an unprecedented 53 hours and 51 minutes of continuous seawater immersion. TIGGO8 CSH and TIGGO9 CSH further solidified Chery's safety leadership by conquering extreme challenges including 7-vehicle stacking tests, dual-vehicle 100% frontal collisions, and high-speed spiral rollovers. These dramatic trials not only paid homage to classic safety demonstrations but vividly embodied Chery's core philosophy: "Safety, for Family" and "Let everyone enjoy five-star protection".

Chery's commitment to long-termism is anchored in global market expansion through mutually beneficial partnerships. Chery has established itself as a true local contributor in overseas markets through its "In somewhere, for somewhere" philosophy. The automaker implements a comprehensive localization strategy that goes beyond simple market entry - carefully addressing regulatory compliance, product adaptation, competitive positioning and unique value propositions before entering new territories. This thoughtful approach has enabled successful collaborations with international partners. A prime example is Chery's joint venture with Spain's EV MOTORS, which not only revived the beloved EBRO brand but also delivered tangible local benefits through job creation and tax revenue - earning strong endorsement from both Spanish authorities and communities.

Chery's commitment to long-termism focuses on advancing high-end industrial ecosystems and fostering symbiotic industry clusters. Moving beyond vehicle production, the company has systematically developed capabilities spanning aftermarket services, sustainable material recycling, circular economy solutions, and customer-centric ecosystem development. This transformation extends to cutting-edge ventures including in-vehicle drone systems, AiMOGA humanoid robot, flying cars, finance, logistics, and trading companies. The company has established four strategic platforms that serve as foundations for collaborative growth: industrial internet infrastructure, financial services, smart procurement networks, and user community platforms. These platforms have attracted over 10,000 partner enterprises, fostering a vibrant economic community where shared resources and mutual success drive continuous innovation.

Chery's commitment to long-termism lies in its pursuit of management excellence and dedication to ESG principles. The company is transforming into an agile organization while integrating ESG principles into its core strategy and operations. This commitment has earned Chery consistent recognition on Fortune China's ESG Influence List and made it the only automaker featured on Forbes China's 2024-2025 Sustainable Development Industrial Enterprises ranking. Through strategic global partnerships, Chery demonstrates its sustainability leadership. The company collaborates with IUCN on the "Cherish Nature" initiative and with UNICEF on international education programs. These partnerships with world-leading organizations elevate Chery's corporate responsibility from brand-building to active participation in addressing global challenges, significantly expanding the scope and impact of its social contributions.

In June this year, Chery achieved the milestone of exporting its 5 millionth vehicle, becoming the first Chinese automaker to reach this historic mark. This accomplishment stems from its unwavering commitment to 'long-termism'—a philosophy realized through a globally diversified product matrix, world-leading hybrid technologies, deep integration with local ecosystems, and sustainable global practices. Together, these strategies have propelled the evolution from 'Made in China' to 'Co-created with the World,' redefining the paradigm of global collaboration.

"In this era of unprecedented uncertainty, Chery must embrace long-termism to navigate economic cycles and evolve into a sustainable century-old enterprise." As Yin Tongyue, Chairman of Chery Holding Group, emphasized, China needs not just revenue-driven Fortune Global 500 companies, but world-class brands ranked among the top 500 or even top 100—propelling the nation from a manufacturing powerhouse into a leader of manufacturing and brand excellence. The legendary "thatched hut spirit" has honed Chery's dual strengths: the disruptive momentum of a dark horse and the enduring resilience of a thoroughbred. Now, Chery is accelerating down the path toward becoming a century-old global automotive enterprise and world-class brand—powered by its unwavering commitment to long-termism.
