When technology truly changes life, the value of innovation can be truly realized. On October 20, the 2026 Chery Global Innovation Conference, themed "Change," will be held in Wuhu. Chery, which has already changed mobility through car manufacturing, is now stepping into a broader life through the expansion of technology. Transforming from an automaker into an AI-driven global intelligent technology company, Chery will join global users in opening a new imagination for future life.
Toward 2035: Expanding innovation boundaries with AI
Facing the next decade of the intelligent electric era, at this innovation conference Chery will outline the Yaoguang 2035 Plan, using intelligent AI technology as support to systematically define the roadmap for moving from an automobile enterprise to a global intelligent technology company. As the technological foundation for achieving this goal, the conference will also release the first vertical-domain large model in the automotive industry. This model integrates Chery's cutting-edge technical capabilities in computing power, algorithms, data, and other fields, while the underlying hardware will showcase automotive-grade chips designed specifically for physical AI world models. This will not only push the automotive industry into a new stage of systemized car manufacturing across the full domain of AI, but also open up more possibilities for technology to address real needs in life.
From energy collaboration to intelligent mobility, from underlying technological innovation to end-user life applications, Chery, which is "more than car manufacturing," has already begun the full implementation of its strategic layout. In the mobility field, Falcon driving assistance and Lingxi intelligent cockpit are continuously upgraded and fully installed on vehicles, the industry's first native pre-installed Robotaxi built for the world makes its debut, and the Lingxiao eVTOL makes three-dimensional air mobility more free; in the energy field, a full chain of energy acquisition, storage, transmission, and application is being established to let every kilowatt-hour of green electricity flow freely, and Chery will also globally debut AC V2G technology and fast-charging technology. On October 16, Chery held a strategic signing ceremony with State Grid, officially starting construction of the first vehicle-grid interconnection V2G large-scale operation station; in the embodied intelligence field, "Mocha Robot" has already achieved regular deployment in more than 100 scenarios such as education and healthcare. During this conference, Mocha's first consumer-grade family companion humanoid robot "Mobao" will make its global debut and open global pre-orders, further achieving commercialization, while Chery's smart agricultural machinery product matrix will also be publicly unveiled. A series of "combined moves" sends a signal that Chery's strategic transformation and AI technology innovation are accelerating their implementation.
In Future City, experience the next possibility of life in advance
The power of technology exists in the details of life. At this conference, Chery has built a Future City around the Global Innovation Center. As the presentation carrier of technology, Chery Future City will take "A Day in the Life of a Future Citizen" as the main thread, integrating technology into real scenarios such as mobility, production, and life services, so that every guest who walks in can feel different fragments of future life.
From the collaborative demonstration of Robotaxi and robot traffic police to the low-altitude mobility display at the smart terminal; from the vehicle-grid interaction experience at the smart energy replenishment center to close interaction with service robots, experiencing services such as intelligent medical guidance and family companionship. A shuttle, an interaction, a stay—Future City not only allows people to feel the changes that technology brings to daily life, but also serves as an entry point for people to reunderstand the relationship between technology and life.
Witnessed globally, jointly honoring the appointment of innovation
There are no boundaries to innovation breakthroughs; Chery uses technology to connect the world. This conference is expected to attract more than 3,000 guests from home and abroad. Academicians and experts, representatives of leading global enterprises, investment institutions, domestic and overseas media, dealers, suppliers, and user representatives will gather together to witness Chery's innovative exploration.
During the innovation conference, activities such as the Global User Ecosystem Conference, international brand launch, and global user interaction will also be held in conjunction. Technological innovation will be further connected with global market demand, partner resources, and user experience, injecting new momentum into the continued deepening of Chery's globalization. From bringing products to the world to enabling technology and ecosystems to serve different markets more deeply, Chery will, as an AI intelligent technology company, head to this appointment of innovation and enter a brand-new stage of globalization.
Technology keeps moving forward, but the protagonist of life is always people. From building good cars to exploring a broader intelligent life, Chery evolves in response to the expectations of global users and changes ahead of the era. On October 20, the 2026 Chery Global Innovation Conference will officially convene, and Future City and related exhibition areas will also open to the public on the subsequent Public Open Day and Family Experience Day. Let us look forward together and witness change together.
