Chinese automaker Chery plans to open a research and development (R&D) centre in the United Kingdom. The move is intended to support product development and development work aligned with the needs of British and wider European customers.
The company, which owns the Omoda and Jaecoo vehicle brands, says the centre is part of a broader effort to localise its operations in Britain and Europe. By expanding engineering and technical capacity locally, Chery aims to strengthen its presence in these markets and improve responsiveness to regional requirements.
The articles reviewed present the same core development and rationale. Both describe the opening of a UK R&D centre and frame it as a localisation step rather than a change tied to a single model launch or specific regulatory event. No alternative figures, timelines, or detailed descriptions of the centre’s scope are provided in the supplied sources.
