Chery's European and UK demand surges, broker backs stock
▲
EU sales up 250.9% year-to-date EU new car registrations rose 4.5% in August, and Chery's EU sales jumped 250.9% to 116,318 units so far this year. That is a huge increase in actual customer purchases, which directly boosts Chery's revenue and profit.

▲
UK best-seller and market share gains UK new car sales rose 12% in September, and Chery's Jaecoo 7 SUV was the best-selling model. This follows earlier UK momentum, but the best-seller status is a new milestone that confirms Chery's brand is winning over British buyers.

UK New Car Sales Rise 12% in September, Driven by EVs and Chinese Brands
The UK new car market recorded its best September since 2017, with registrations up 12% year-on-year to 350,518 units, according to figures released on the 2nd by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. Supported by strong demand for electric vehicles, battery electric vehicle registrations in September rose 36% year-on-year to 99,199 units, taking a market share of 28.3%. In contrast, petrol car registrations fell 6.7% and hybrid vehicle registrations fell 4.2%. Diesel car registrations rose 11.5% in September, but were down 7% over the January-September period compared with a year earlier, with their market share shrinking to about 4.5% this year. By brand, the Jaecoo 7 SUV from China's Chery was the best-selling model, while among battery electric vehicles the Sealion 7 SUV from China's BYD ranked third, behind US EV giant Tesla's Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV. On a year-to-date basis, battery electric vehicles account for only 26.2% of total sales, well below the 33% mandated for 2026 and also short of last year's 28% target.
First Chinese auto show held in Argentina as Chinese brands' sales share surges from 2% to 10%
Argentina's first Chinese auto show opened on the 2nd in the capital, Buenos Aires. Under President Milei, the country's auto market is shifting from strong protectionism toward a more open and competitive environment. Helped by a measure allowing up to 50,000 electric and hybrid vehicles to be imported duty-free in 2026, Chinese brands have been entering the market one after another, and in August the Chinese brands' share of passenger car and light commercial vehicle sales reached 10%, up from about 2% in late 2025. Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD has become the ninth-largest auto brand by sales since entering Argentina in late 2025. More than 20 Chinese brands exhibited at the auto show, including Geely, Chery, Great Wall Motor and Dongfeng Motor, and Sebastian Beato, president of the Argentine auto dealers association, said the remarkable growth of Chinese brands is prompting the domestic auto industry to produce new models.

Chinese Companies Delay Hong Kong IPOs in Succession as Overheated Market Normalizes
A wave of postponed Hong Kong initial public offerings by Chinese companies is signaling that an overheated market is beginning to normalize. In Hong Kong trading on the afternoon of the 30th, Citi raised its target price for Guangzhou Automobile Group while maintaining a neutral rating, and JPMorgan initiated coverage of Chery Automobile with an overweight rating. Nomura pointed to accelerating licensing of Chinese new drugs by U.S. companies as a reason for its bullish view on drug discovery-related shares, while Citi issued a buy rating on Xiaomi, expecting a recovery in smartphone margins and an expansion of its EV business through new model launches. Share buybacks in the Hong Kong market totaled 28.6 billion yen across 97 stocks, and Shenzhen Hichain Technology closed at 215.2 Hong Kong dollars on its debut, up 265.7 percent from its offer price. In China, Standard Chartered flagged the possibility of additional monetary easing including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio, and DeepSeek released foundational software for Huawei's Ascend chips, taking a step toward reducing reliance on Nvidia.
Chinese automakers' European production expansion to offset falling steel demand, says Thyssenkrupp
Marie Jaroni, CEO of Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe, the steel subsidiary of Germany's Thyssenkrupp and Europe's second-largest steelmaker, said on the 28th that the expansion of production in Europe by Chinese automakers will more than offset the decline in regional steel demand caused by the struggles of established manufacturers. Speaking at an investor meeting, Jaroni said demand for automotive steel sheet from Chinese automakers in the European Union is expected to reach about 900,000 tons by 2033. That would grow from zero in 2025 and account for 6.3 percent of total EU automotive steel sheet demand. She also mentioned BYD, Chery Automobile, and Geely Automobile, saying Chinese manufacturers are building factories and supply chains.

EU New Car Registrations Rise 4.5% in August as BEV Share Hits 21.7%
EU new passenger car registrations rose 4.5% year over year to 708,211 units in August, extending the market's growth streak to seven consecutive months, the ACEA reported Thursday. August growth accelerated from a 3% increase in July, with all four of the EU's largest car markets posting gains: Spain at 11.8%, France at 7.4%, Italy at 3.2%, and Germany at 2.6%. For the first eight months of 2026, new EU car registrations increased 5.3% despite persistent geopolitical uncertainty and rising energy prices, and battery electric vehicles accounted for 21.7% of registrations through August, up from 15.8% a year earlier, while hybrids held the largest share at 36.6% and plug-in hybrids 10%. Among major markets, BEV registrations rose 74.2% in France, 53.1% in Germany, and 40.9% in Denmark in the first eight months of 2026, with those three countries together accounting for 64% of total EU BEV registrations during the period. Year to date, Chinese automakers continued to post strong gains in the EU, with Chery Automobile up 250.9% to 116,318 units and BYD Company up 163% to 177,752 units, while Tesla sales climbed 65.9% to 142,165 units, SAIC Motor gained 19.8% to 163,707 units, and Geely Group rose 7.8% to 205,047 units; among major traditional automakers, Volkswagen Group rose 1.3% to 1.99M units and Stellantis increased 5.2% to 1.20M units, while Ford Motor fell 17.7%, Renault Group declined 4%, and Hyundai dropped 2.2%.

Chinese Automakers Seek European Production Sites as EU Weighs Local Content Rules, BYD Adviser Says
Chinese automakers are scouting locations for production bases in Europe after the EU signaled it will introduce local content requirements. Alfredo Altavilla, BYD's adviser for Europe, told Reuters at the opening ceremony of a Denza premium brand dealership in Turin, Italy, that companies are focusing their efforts on inspecting existing auto assembly plants, which can start production faster than building factories from scratch. The European Commission is drafting a "Made in Europe" policy that favors industrial parts and products made within the bloc, and is expected to set minimum local content thresholds for EVs sold in the region, possibly as early as next year. BYD aims to acquire existing plants, take full ownership and then retrofit them; its first European passenger car plant in Hungary is in the early stages of production, and the company is expected to select a second European site within the year. Altavilla said that to grow while meeting EU regulations, BYD will eventually need "three assembly plants and one battery plant" in Europe, adding that Spain and France offer "clearly simpler situations" and are the "most feasible" options. Italy is a "second-best" choice because Stellantis is reluctant to sell plants, he said. Chinese manufacturers have already begun partnerships to share production lines at underutilized European plants: Leapmotor is teaming up with Stellantis in Spain, Dongfeng Motor with Stellantis in France, Geely with Ford Motor in Spain, and Chery has bought a plant in Spain previously owned by Nissan.

Lecang Share Half-Year Report: Forex Gains and Losses Distort Income Statement, Core Business Maintains Positive Growth
Lecang Share disclosed its 2026 semi-annual report on the evening of August 28. During the reporting period, it achieved operating revenue of 3.179 billion yuan, up 1.11% year on year, but net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was only 21.38 million yuan, a sharp year-on-year decline of 83.43%, while non-GAAP net profit fell 96.23%. The profit decline mainly stemmed from violent fluctuations in foreign exchange gains and losses. In the first half of the year, the company recorded a foreign exchange loss of 77.8415 million yuan, compared with a foreign exchange gain of 46.0303 million yuan in the same period last year. This item alone created a profit gap of about 124 million yuan. After excluding the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses, the company's core business operating profit actually maintained positive growth, and its operating fundamentals remained solid. This phenomenon is not an isolated case. As of August 26, 677 listed companies had mentioned foreign exchange losses in their semi-annual reports. Among them, Chery Automobile had a net foreign exchange loss of 2.092 billion yuan in the first half of the year, while Hikvision swung from a foreign exchange gain of 607 million yuan in the same period last year to a loss of 595 million yuan. Both of Lecang Share's core business segments maintained growth. Smart home business revenue was 1.607 billion yuan, up 3.6% year on year, of which cross-border e-commerce sales revenue was 1.141 billion yuan, up 13.69%, and independent website sales revenue was 495 million yuan, up 20.48%. Overseas warehouse business revenue was 1.549 billion yuan, with gross margin up 1.75 percentage points year on year.

Chery to open new R&D base in UK, eyeing autonomous driving and AI
Chinese automaker Chery Automobile has announced it will open a new research and development base in the UK during 2026. The facility is scheduled to open in the autumn at the UTAC Millbrook vehicle development and testing site in Bedfordshire. It will initially focus on building chassis and driver assistance systems tailored to UK customers, before eventually expanding into autonomous driving and artificial intelligence. According to the UK Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Chinese manufacturers accounted for around 15 percent of new car registrations in the UK in the first half of this year, up from about 10 percent for the full year 2025, helped by competitive pricing. Gary Lang, chief executive of Chery International UK, said UTAC Millbrook will allow the company to apply UK customer insights to product development, from ride comfort and steering to preventive safety systems.
Chery Group to launch high-end LUXEED brand in Thailand in the fourth quarter this year
Chery Group is set to officially launch its high-end LUXEED brand in Thailand in the fourth quarter of this year, aiming to redefine luxury through vehicles that blend opulence with intelligent technology under the concept of Enlighten Driving Pleasure. Jin Liu, Deputy Executive Director of LUXEED Thailand, said that entering Thailand is not just about introducing a new brand, but about bringing unexpected luxury to Thai consumers. Thailand has been chosen as one of the first international markets and a key strategic market for LUXEED, with the goal of serving as a starting point for building a systematic growth framework covering brand building, product introduction, dealer network expansion, and after-sales service. Currently, LUXEED has two models launched in China: the LUXEED V9, a luxury MPV that achieved the fastest cumulative delivery of 10,000 units in China, and the LUXEED RX, a high-performance sports coupe. Both models will be launched in Thailand in the fourth quarter. Founded in 1997, Chery Group recorded global sales of over 2.8 million units in 2025 and has ranked first in Chinese passenger car exports for 23 consecutive years. As of July 2026, its cumulative global sales surpassed 20 million units.
Chinese EV Makers Turn to Japan, Using Kei EVs as a Breakthrough
Chinese automakers are accelerating their push into the Japanese market with electric vehicles. Facing slowing growth at home and tariff barriers in the West, they aim to crack the market by leveraging Japan’s unique kei EV standards. BYD has unveiled the RACCO, a kei EV designed specifically for Japan, and appointed the former developer of the Nissan Sakura to lead the effort, packing it with family-friendly features like automatic sliding doors and heated cup holders. BYD’s global sales in 2025 are around 4.6 million units, making it the top EV seller, but its domestic sales in China have been falling year on year, hit by shrinking incentives for new energy vehicles. With the United States imposing a 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made EVs and the European Union also raising duties, Japan, which has no such tariff measures, presents a lower barrier to entry. BYD is rushing to build a sales network through partnerships with major import car dealers. Chery Automobile is co-developing a kei EV with Autobacs Seven and plans to launch it next year, while premium EV brand Zeekr has announced it will introduce an electric minivan. Hiroyuki Shimizu of AlixPartners describes the Japanese market as low risk, low return, while Wu Mingxian of TNC Research and Consulting points to challenges such as Japanese consumers’ willingness to buy Chinese cars given their demand for high quality, and the need to expand sales and service networks in rural areas.
EXEED AiMOGA Robotics Surpasses 2,000 Global Deliveries Across 60-Plus Nations

AiMOGA draws on the global industrial experience of parent company Chery, sharing its R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and service networks to support scaled global deployment. The robots are being used in real-world commercial scenarios including smart policing, medical guidance, and public services, with 110 intelligent traffic police robots deployed across multiple cities in the first half of this year.
Tesla UK sales drop 9% as Chinese rivals surge in popularity
Tesla's UK deliveries fell 9% to 45,239 vehicles in 2025, while revenue dropped 6% to £1.83 billion, according to accounts for its UK subsidiary. The decline comes as Chinese rivals gain ground, with the Jaecoo E5 made by Chery International becoming the third most popular electric car in July, priced from £27,505 compared to around £38,000 for a Tesla Model 3. Overall UK battery-electric vehicle sales rose 44.5% to a record 43,106 last month, but no Tesla model appeared in the top 10. The UK has not imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, unlike the EU or the US. Tesla's global profits fell 17% to $1.2 billion in the second quarter, as it cut prices and lost tax credits, while doubling capital spending on AI and robotics.
Chery International becomes first China-based OEM to surpass 20 million cumulative vehicle sales
Chery International has surpassed 20 million cumulative vehicle sales worldwide, becoming the first China-based OEM group to reach that milestone. The 20-millionth vehicle was the new CHERY Fulwin A9, a premium long-range intelligent electric saloon, echoing the original Fulwin that was the company's first production model and among its earliest exports. Founded in 1997, Chery was also the first Chinese automotive brand to exceed one million cumulative sales in 2007 and has ranked as China's largest passenger vehicle exporter for 23 consecutive years. In the first half of 2026, the company exported 943,800 vehicles, up 71.5% year-on-year, and set four consecutive monthly export records, with one Chery-built vehicle shipped overseas every 17 seconds. The group now employs 150,000 people worldwide, including more than 20,000 staff outside its home market.
BYD Launches "Racco" as Mini EV Competition Heats Up
Chinese auto giant BYD's Japanese subsidiary has launched the mini electric vehicle "RACCO," intensifying competition in the mini EV segment. Going forward, EMT, a joint venture funded by five Japanese and Chinese companies including Chery Automobile, as well as Suzuki, plan to enter the market, bringing the total number of mini EV models to four including the Racco. In fiscal 2025, even the top-selling Nissan Sakura recorded only around 10,000 units, far below the roughly 200,000 units of Honda's N-BOX, the leader among gasoline-powered mini vehicles. BYD aims to sell 10,000 units annually, but all mini EV models are priced above 2 million yen, higher than gasoline vehicles. The national government provides subsidies of up to 580,000 yen, and when combined with local government subsidies, in some cases such as in Tokyo, the vehicles can be purchased for under 1 million yen. Hikaru Todoroki, principal at KPMG Consulting, predicts that because mini vehicle users prioritize price, fierce price competition will ensue after the subsidies end. A source at a domestic manufacturer also points out the need to compete on performance and price against the entire mini vehicle segment.
