Chery QQ3 goes Electric
Published on September 1, 2010 by Tycho

Chery is rolling out the electric QQ3EV for a pilot project in Hefei, capital of Anhui province. The QQ3EV costs 50.000 yuan from the factory but only 30.000 after subsidies kick in. The car has a range of 100 kilometer and will eventually be sold in the whole country. At the same time Chery is working on the successor of the QQ3, so it is likely that production of the old one will continue for the EV to keep it very cheap.

The long very long extremely long awaited Chery-Riich Z5 will debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in December. The Riich Z5 started life as Chery A6CC. Today we have a couple of leaked pictures, likely from a brochure. They show two new things: an extra air inlet on the bonnet and racing stripes. These didn’t show in any of the concept or pre-production cars, maybe they are options to make your Z5 even more cool.

Chery is in trouble and it loox like US prosecutors will go to the bottom of it. Read on for excellent background article about the case from GlobalTimes, a Chinese government owned magazine:
“China’s largest [independent, domestic] automaker, Chery International, denied charges Monday by US prosecutors who are accusing it of stealing millions of dollars worth of clean energy technology from former engineers of US auto giant General Motors.
The intensified wrangling comes as the US auto industry attempts to recover from poor fiscal performances and shrinking sales.
And analysts are warning Chinese automakers to take intellectual property rights more seriously when competing with their foreign counterparts, as the Chinese firms are vying for more market share worldwide after the country’s car market was crowned the world’s largest last year, surpassing that of the United States.
