Against the backdrop of an increasingly diversified global mobility landscape, traditional Chinese automotive manufacturers are continuing to expand their business boundaries. Recently, Chery Automobile’s moves in the motorcycle sector have gradually come to light, drawing growing attention of the industry.

Public information shows that at the end of last year, Chery Automobile established Anhui Shanyi Technology Co., Ltd. Through an indirectly wholly-owned shareholding, with a registered capital of RMB 50 million. The company’s business scope covers multiple areas of technology development, explicitly including the research and development of motorcycles and related parts & accessories. In addition to motorcycle R&D, Anhui Shanyi Technology is also engaged in Internet of Things (IoT) technology development, mechanical equipment R&D, industrial and professional design services, artificial intelligence application software development, and new energy vehicle-related businesses. This diversified scope indicates that Chery’s motorcycle initiatives is not a standalone project, but rather part of a broader technological and mobility framework.

From an industry perspective, shifts in urban commuting patterns, the advancement of new energy and intelligent technologies, and rising demand for light mobility solutions across global markets have made motorcycles and two-wheeled mobility products an increasingly important focus for automotive manufacturers. In recently years, Chery has continued to increase investment in new energy, intelligent systems, and software technologies. Incorporating motorcycle R&D into its business portfolio is therefore widely viewed as a forward-looking move aligned with the company’s efforts to build a diversified mobility ecosystem.

Overall, through formal corporate registration, Chery Automobile has officially brought motorcycle-related R&D into its business landscape. Leveraging its accumulated strengths in vehicle manufacturing, engineering development, and global market operations, Chery’s entry into the motorcycle sector is widely expected to deliver noteworthy results in the future.
