Chery used the Paris Motor Show 2026 to lay out its European localization plans and its first EU sustainability report. The automaker showed five models under its own brand and brought OMODA & JAECOO to France with hybrid systems. It reported 292,000 vehicle sales across 24 European countries in the first nine months, with new-energy deliveries up 251%. The company also committed to carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2037 and across its value chain by 2047. It has calculated full-lifecycle carbon footprints for all models sold in Europe, and the JAECOO 7 SHS received a mutual carbon footprint recognition certificate from DEKRA. The EBRO plant project has created over 1,000 local jobs so far.

Chery is putting real numbers on its EU push, 292k sales and 146k new energy. The carbon footprint work is the part worth watching, since they actually got DEKRA recognition for the JAECOO 7 SHS. Still vague on how the 2037/2047 targets map to concrete supply chain changes.

Voluntary CSRD disclosure is smart positioning before it becomes mandatory. The 2037 operational carbon neutrality target is ambitious, but the value chain 2047 date is where the hard work sits. Suppliers are the bottleneck for most automakers.

Curious about the EBRO plant revival. Reviving a factory is one thing, but what is the power mix there? If Spain's grid keeps adding renewables, that helps the carbon neutrality math. Otherwise these targets are just accounting.

The CSRD-aligned sustainability report is a step up from typical auto PR. Double materiality assessment and TÜV NORD verification add some credibility. But the real test is whether the EBRO plant and Spanish R&D center actually cut lifecycle emissions, not just report them.
