ABSOLUTE PEACE OF MIND WITH CHERY MOTORS' 90 DAYS EXTENDED WARRANTY
The rapid spread of the COVID 19 around the world in 2020 has adversely affected markets to different degrees. To prevent the virus from spreading, governments of different countries have taken numerous preventive measures including notices to lock down borders, cities, cancel planned public activities, and implement work from home routine for offices and e-learning for all students.
Chery customers in the UAE have responded to the government's requirement of staying at home for isolation. Some customers have also not been able to send their vehicle to the Al Habtoor Motors Chery service center for repair or maintenance even in case of failure. Al Habtoor Motors Chery fully understands the importance of national health security and advices all its customers to comply with absolute peace of mind.
To support customers in these difficult times Al Habtoor Motors Chery has in place specific work plan for after sales service that will offer Chery customers complete support.
Firstly, Chery extends the warranty period by 90 days for all its vehicles whose warranty expire during the epidemic period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Since these vehicles cannot be sent to Al Habtoor Motors Chery for service due to the virus outbreak, their original warranty period can be extended by 90 days.

Secondly for vehicles within warranty period, if customers are unable to send their vehicles for maintenance from February 26, 2020 to May 31, 2020, will continue to enjoy warranty policy provided by Chery for the vehicle's engine and transmission.

On January 9, 2018, CES, the world's largest and most influential technology exhibition, opened in Las Vegas. Chery Arrizo 5, based on Baidu's Apollo automatic driving platform, attracted global attention. The special Arrizo 5 is a self-driving car jointly built by Chery and Baidu since the two sides forged a partnership. It is compatible with Apollo Pilot system and carries mass-produced automatic driving solutions.
(Special" Arrizo 5)
With the development of AI and automatic driving, world-renowned automakers and technology enterprises have chosen CES to show their automatic driving technologies in recent years. The joint appearance of Baidu and Chery at CES 2018 shows the great confidence and tremendous strength of the Chinese technology alliance.
As a leading innovative Chinese independent brand, through independent innovation, Chery has achieved a breakthrough in automotive information entertainment, IOV and other core technologies, which will undoubtedly boost Chery's competitiveness in the future intelligent vehicle field. Since 2010, Chery has taken the lead in developing ICV automotive technology and established an automatic driving automotive technology platform in association with the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2016, the Wuhu Municipal People's Government joined hands with Baidu to establish the world's first "full automatic driving operation base" at Wuhu High-tech Industrial Development Zone, laying the foundation for Chery's ICV operation. Over the past seven years, Chery has developed two generations of ICVs. The third-generation ICV under development is a highly-self-driving vehicle based on Chery's EQ EV platform and with the capability of industrialization.
(Road demonstration of Chery's second-generation ICV technology)

At the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province in November 2016, eQ self-driving car, jointly developed by Chery and Baidu, went into trial operation on an open urban road for the first time in China. As a core member of Baidu's Apollo plan, Chery can rapidly acquire Baidu's AI technology; and Chery's mature vehicle technologies, precise development process, integral industry chain and perfect sales service system have made Chery and Baidu the strongest technology alliance in China.
(Chery's three self-driving cars selected into the "national team")
Automotive AI is undoubtedly promising. Just as Apple subverted traditional mobile phones, automatic driving will subvert traditional cars. With the deepening of the cooperation, the two sides will carry out all-round cooperation in fields including IOV, highly automatic driving and self driving, to bring about dramatic changes to the automotive field. This June Chery and Baidu signed an MOU on strategic cooperation in the Silicon Valley, and planned to establish "Chery Silicon Valley Research Institute". This will further boost the development of core ICV technologies and lay a solid technical foundation for Chery to develop the global market. According to the plan, Chery will launch an ICV developed with Baidu in 2018, and the self-driving car jointly developed by the two sides will go into mass production in 2020.

During CES 2018, a mysterious fleet of self-driving cars took California Highway and was open for examination. In the automatic driving field, California Self-driving Test Base should not be strange to you. Only 45 companies in the world have been qualified for road rests here since 2014, including 14 companies with Chinese investment or background (accounting for 31 percent), less than 19 U.S. companies only. As a Chinese AI and automatic driving force, Chery is registering an automatic driving development company (Leonis Technologies North America) in the Silicon Valley to be engaged in big data research, self driving technology R&D and road tests in California. After successful registration, Chery will apply for the qualification for road tests in California, "China's AI and automatic driving are attracting growing attention from the Silicon Valley and the world".
