OMODA & JAECOO have crossed the 1.4 million cumulative world gross sales milestone in three and a half years, strengthening their worldwide presence because the automotive manufacturers pursue new alternatives in electrification, synthetic intelligence and autonomous mobility.
The milestone was highlighted following the 2026 International User Summit held in October in Wuhu, China, the place the corporate introduced collectively prospects, media representatives and enterprise companions to showcase its development technique and future product path.
With operations now masking 79 markets, the manufacturers stated their subsequent part of improvement would focus on combining world growth with applied sciences that enhance on a regular basis car possession and mobility experiences.
The summit, themed “DRIVE TO THE NEXT VIBE”, offered a chance to display how the corporate intends to translate its increasing analysis and improvement capabilities into services.
A significant spotlight was the worldwide debut of OMODA X, a futuristic cross-off-road car designed to mix city performance with an adventurous exterior character.
The unveiling was accompanied by a consumer co-creation initiative that invited members from totally different nations to current their interpretations of the car, reflecting the corporate’s rising emphasis on buyer participation in product improvement and model id.
Intelligent car know-how additionally featured prominently, notably the Super Intelligent Valet Parking system (SIVP), which demonstrated automated car summoning, parking-route planning and impediment avoidance.
The Super Intelligent AI Space (SIAS) additional showcased voice-controlled cabin know-how able to decoding a number of requests in a single instruction, recommending music based mostly on customers’ moods and supporting personalised digital experiences.
On the electrification entrance, the Super Hybrid Marathon offered a chance to judge the efficiency of taking part autos throughout metropolis roads, highways and mountain routes.
The producer reported that the OMODA 5 NEXT SHS-H achieved gasoline consumption of 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres and a most driving vary of 1,015 kilometres throughout the occasion.
The firm stated the train examined not solely gasoline effectivity but additionally energy supply, cabin isolation and luxury beneath totally different driving situations.
Beyond car manufacturing, OMODA & JAECOO used the summit to stipulate its ambitions in autonomous mobility by a purpose-built Level 4 Robotaxi programme.
The initiative consists of proposed cooperation with UAE-based K2, with a service mannequin integrating digital bookings, car dispatch, cabin preparation, autonomous journeys and fleet upkeep operations.
The summit additionally mirrored the broader know-how ecosystem surrounding the manufacturers by AiMOGA, which launched Mobo, a house companion robotic, and opened world pre-orders.
Designed to recognise relations, keep in mind preferences and assist on a regular basis interactions, Mobo represents an extension of synthetic intelligence and robotics into home environments.
Behind these developments is elevated funding in analysis and innovation. OMODA & JAECOO disclosed that analysis and improvement expenditure at its father or mother firm, Chery, reached RMB 6.672 billion within the first half of 2026, up 28.3 per cent in contrast with the corresponding interval of 2025.
The firm had handed its first million cumulative gross sales earlier in 2026 earlier than advancing past 1.4 million.
The newest milestone underscores the tempo of its worldwide growth and the rising significance of know-how, buyer expertise and different powertrain options in its world technique.
While the applied sciences showcased are at totally different levels of improvement and market introduction, the summit supplied a sign of the path OMODA & JAECOO intends to pursue because it competes in an more and more technology-driven world automotive business.
