The first engine of Chery was born as early as 1999, which marked the opening of its technological exploration and independent development. Just four years later, in 2003, Chery independently developed the first generation of ACTECO engines, marking the birth of the first series of engines with the forward design and independent intellectual property rights among Chinese automobile brands. The first generation of ACTECO engines cover a variety of models, such as 0.8L-2.0L naturally aspirated engines, and Chery has truly independently mastered the core technology of engines.
In 2009, Chery launched its second generation of ACTECO engines. Since then, Chery has achieved a "zero" breakthrough in high-performance engines of Chinese brand automobiles. Compared with the first generation, the second generation of engines have been comprehensively improved in power performance, economy and emission, and are more optimized in structure, which have the advanced lightweight level in the industry at that time. The second generation of engines cover a variety of models such as 1.6DVVT and 1.5TCI, and are mounted on such products as Arrizo and Tiggo series.
