Chery shows off its hybrid technology at Shanghai Auto Show


Chery could easily be called the most innovative Chinese car maker, and this is the reason why. Tomorrow when the Shanghai Car Show officially opens, Chery will show of its hybrid bio-diesel Oriental Son crossover (we think this is a Chery V5 with a name change)

As well as the Cross, Chery have also made their famous Chery A1, what Chery call the ‘Global Car’ as they plan to sell it in every market of the world (or so they say) and its also the one that Dodge wants to use as the base for the Dodge Hornet. Well, as well as making a regular gasoline powered one, they’ve also come up with a hybrid:

  1. Hybrid? Really? Hybrid from China? It is possible, but I can’t believe it now. Is this an April fool? :D :)

    Oriental Son is same model as Eastar (东方之子) (mid-size sedan, codename B11), not same model as Chery V5

    Speaking about the Fiat hybrids, the technology double clutch with electric motor between has been stolen by a patent that Fiat Company has never wanted to purchase, but only shamelessly to copy. I invite to visit my blog where her “vitality” of the Fiat planners it appears in all of evidence:

    Whoever appreciates an honest industrial ethics in defence of intellectual ownership should spread out the history reported in my blog. If the industries can afford unpunished to copy the ideas and defending it need very expensive legal action, to which target need the patents? How our young people can find intellectual courage if the economic potentates crush the rights of the single ones?
