The inauguration of the Rosslyn Plant marks a significant step in Chery's global expansion. By manufacturing locally in South Africa, Chery can bypass certain import tariffs and better tailor its products to the regional market. The mid-2027 production start date provides a long-term growth runway for the iCAUR brand in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.
