Chery breaks the monopoly of foreign technology to export the first batch of “autonomous brains” to the United States

According to the official website of Chery, Chery’s first batch of 500 “self-developed electronic control systems” engines were exported to the United States on June 30, 2017. The export has epoch-making significance, because these engines "core control brain" - ECU electronic control system is completely developed by Chery independently, breaking the long-term monopoly of foreign technology.

Compared with Chery’s previously exported engines, the engine for this export was completely calibrated by Chery. Chery’s own definition includes all engine control strategies and operating parameters. As the core component of the car, once the engine is calibrated on its own, it means the calibration of the vehicle manufacturer and other parts suppliers. To a certain extent, it must follow the calibration of Chery.

In addition, the engine's core ECU components are independently designed and manufactured by Chery. ECU is an electronic control unit, which is the core of the core in the construction of a complete vehicle and is equivalent to the human brain. For a long time China has been a blank in this field. This technology has been monopolized by foreign companies. The Chery engine is equipped with self-calibration ECU, which means that the Chinese auto industry has a "core control brain" in the true sense, not only can be used in China's own brands, but also can export to the world's auto industry, and realize the Chinese auto industry to the world's advanced automotive industry. The output of high-end core technology products will increase the technological content and brand image of Chinese-made and Chinese exports.

As the world's second largest auto market, the access conditions of the US auto market are extremely stringent, and the regulatory requirements for the core components of the engine are particularly stringent. The ability to enter the US market has always been one of the important signs of testing whether a car brand has global quality. The Chery self-calibration engine entered the market of developed countries such as the United States, won more technical discourse rights for Chinese auto makers to participate in the global auto market competition, and laid the foundation for Chinese auto brands to enter the markets of developed countries in Europe and America.
