Chery begins exporting Jaecoo SUVs from Malaysia – Vietnam first; Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, SG next

Chery Corporate Malaysia (Chery) has announced it will begin exporting vehicles from Malaysia to markets in Southeast Asia this year. Vietnam – a left-hand drive market – is the company’s first export market, with the first batch of pure internal combustion and plug-in hybrid versions of Jaecoo SUVs already on their way there.

Moving forward, more models from Chery’s portfolio of brands will join the list, with other export countries being the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei and Singapore. Production of Chery vehicles takes place at a facility located in Shah Alam, which was officiated back in June last year. The company says it is preparing to scale up production in the future by establishing strategic partnerships with its other assembly plants in Malaysia.

“Chery is progressing well towards establishing Malaysia as our production and research and development (R&D) hub in Southeast Asia. Expanding our exporting capabilities enhances our production capacity to meet the region’s growing demand,” said Leo Chen, executive vice president of Chery Corporate Malaysia.

“Furthermore, Chery is excited to play a role in boosting Malaysia’s economy, develop local talent and strengthen our supply chain. We are confident in achieving our goal to make Malaysia the leading export hub for Chery vehicles which includes our premium sub-brand Jaecoo,” he added.
