50 October 2018 | AutoData T his is the first year that Caoa Montadora presents its prospects at this annual AutoData special after the union with Chery. And its president, Márcio Alfonso, affirms that next year “the challenge will be a little bigger than the one already established: we will work to consolidate the brand in parallel to the development of new vehicles”. The executive faces the moment with confidence in the result: “Everything is very intense and superlative in China, and it is good to experience this environment. They are very different in factory environment, market analysis and product configuration, but everything is very enriching. We now seek to converge on common practices”. Caoa Chery is getting ready to launch three vehicles that will be added to the already launched Tiggo 2: “We are investing in an additional production line for the Arrizo, a medium sedan, at the factory in Jacareí. And in Anápolis, the work today includes especially an extension of the final assembly area, besides a logistic transformation”. The factory in Goiás will be responsible for the production of two SUVs: Tiggo 4 and Tiggo 7.
