It will introduce more models in Australia in the future, making it one of Chery’s most important export destinations, Zhou Biren, head of the Chery’s international operations, said in the statement.

Chery is one of a growing army of Chinese automakers, including SAIC Motor and Geely Automobile Holdings, that hope eventually to be global players.

Chery shipped 91,986 vehicles overseas last year, equivalent to 13.5 percent of its overall sales, mostly to emerging markets in eastern Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
