Maserati and Alfa Romeo are planning to adopt Chery’s electric platform

According to some Chinese sources Maserati and Alfa Romeo are planning to use Chery’s E0X high-performance electric platform as the basis for their future electric models, following the adoption of the E0X platform by the first SUV under Land Rover’s Freelander brand. Another source stated that Chery’s E0X platform and its iCAR brand are currently in negotiations with several European and South Korean automakers. The source added: “Chery’s chassis and platform technologies are increasingly being recognized by international carmakers”. 

The E0X platform is one of Chery’s core electrification achievements, developed over four years at a cost of more than RMB 10 billion ($1.4 billion). It supports both battery-electric (BEV) and range-extended electric (EREV) powertrains. This modular architecture allows for flexible wheelbases between 2850 mm and 3100 mm. It also integrates 800V high-voltage fast-charging technology, enabling a 400-kilometer range increase with just 10 minutes of charging. 

Back in April this year, Chery also signed an agreement in Wuhu with South Korea’s KGM (formerly SsangYong Motor) to jointly develop a mid-to-large-size Sport utility model, slated for completion in 2026. This project is also reportedly based on the E0X platform. Chery insiders speculate it may be related to the upcoming Fulwin T11.

Maserati and Alfa Romeo have faced mounting pressure due to slow electrification progress. Chery’s highly efficient development process—which shortens the cycle by 40% compared to traditional European platforms—has become a critical resource. This rumored collaboration directly targets the urgent electrification needs of Maserati and Alfa Romeo. Maserati is expected to use Chery’s platform for a new model full electric in 2027. Meanwhile, Alfa Romeo will reportedly use the E0X platform to develop a premium electric sedan aimed at rivaling the Porsche Taycan.

NIO’s 100,000-order surge signals a fresh fightback in China’s EV Market

A stronger model mix and rapid early take-up for new SUVs have lifted the Chinese EV maker back into contention, though sustained deliveries and margins remain the key proof points NIO ES9 SUV NIO Group’s latest order surge marks a sharp improvement in competitive momentum, with roughly 100,000 firm orders booked across its three brands in the four weeks to mid-June 2026, according to Goldman Sachs’ research . The same data put the group's two-week total above 47,000 units, suggesting that demand remained resilient after the initial launch spike for its flagship ES9 SUV. NIO sells through three brands : the premium Nio marque, the family-focused Onvo, and the compact Firefly. The surge reset the company's standing in a market it had trailed for much of the past year. The scale of the rebound was clearest in Goldman’s week-22 reading (May 25–31), when NIO’s weekly firm orders reached 38,810 units. That placed the company ahead of Geely’s Galaxy and Zeekr lines combined at 22,1...
