Chery history
The passenger car market offers the customer (and hobbyist) a variety of vehicle brands. They are ordinary - a person sees them on the streets every day. There are "interesting" - luxurious or rare models. Each brand tries to surprise the buyer with new models, original solutions.
One of the famous car manufacturers is Chery. We will talk about him.
Founder
The company entered the markets in 1997. The name of the individual entrepreneur who started to create an automobile brand is not. After all, the company was created by the mayor's office of Anhui. Officials began to worry that there was no serious industry in the provinces and regions that could fix the economy. This is how a plant for the creation of internal combustion engines appeared (on the creation of this, Chery's company earned 2 years). Over time, officials bought equipment and conveyors from the Ford brand to create cars for $ 25 million. This is how Chery appeared.
The original name of the company is "Qirui". In a literal translation into English, the company should have sounded “correct” - “Cherry”. But one of the workers made a mistake. The company decided to leave with this name.
The brand did not have a license to manufacture cars, so in 1999 (when the equipment was purchased) Cheri registered herself as a company for the delivery and transportation of car parts. Thus, Chery was allowed to sell cars in China.
In 2001, a large Chinese automobile corporation bought 20% of the brand, allowing them to enter the global market. The first state to which the cars were delivered was Syria. For 2 years the brand has received 2 certificates. The first meant "China's car exporter", the second - "high-level certificate", which was openly appreciated both in the Eastern state and beyond.
In 2003 the company expanded. Japanese manufacturers were invited to improve the quality of cars, replace parts. After 2 years, Cherie again received a certificate, which was described as "high quality production", and was presented with a document by the most stringent inspection committee of the automotive industry in the world.
Cherie has created many lots of cars for sale in America, Japan and Central Europe. The appearance of the car (design) was improved by Italian professionals specially invited to the factory in China.
Most of the factories are located in China. In 2005, the Chery plant in Russia was launched. At the moment, production has been launched in many countries of the world, including America.
Emblem
As mentioned earlier, there was an error in the literal translation from Chinese to English. Cherry was replaced by Chery. The emblem appeared at the same time when the first plant was created - in 1997. The logo stands for 3 letters - CA C. This name stands for the full name of the company - Chery Automobile Corporation. The letters C stand on both sides, in the middle - A. The letter A means "first class" - the highest category of assessment in all countries. The letters C on both sides "hug" A. This is a symbol of strength, unification. Another version of the origin of the logo also exists. The city where the company was established is called Anhui. The letter A in the middle represents the first letter of the province name.
If you look at the emblem from a design point of view, the triangle (literally the letter A) forms a line going into infinity, perspective. In 2013, Cherie changed the logo. The letter A, its top, is disconnected from C. The lower parts of C are connected together. The resulting triangle in a circle means development, quality and technology according to the Chinese version of what is happening. The company's red font has also changed - it has become thinner, sharper and "more aggressive" than the previous letter.
