Chery's Zero Dimension debuts AI-native motorcycles and smart helmet
Zero Dimension, the two-wheeler unit of Chery, met media for the first time during Chery's 2026 Global Innovation Conference in Wuhu on October 19, showing a white GROW C3 range-extender cruiser, a silver SOLO X5 electric adventure scooter and a smart helmet that projects navigation in front of the rider, GeekPark reported. Executives said the company targets the leisure and lifestyle segment rather than commuting, citing China Chamber of Commerce for Motorcycle data that China sold about 21.97 million motorcycles in 2025 with 13.37 million exported, while domestic fuel motorcycle sales fell 6.18 percent and 250cc-plus models grew nearly 26 percent to 950,000 units. General manager Li Xiaojun said the company's motorcycle export capacity is about four times Honda's but profit is less than 60 percent of Honda's, a vendor claim the report did not independently verify; the brand name is not yet public, with a global brand launch planned for March and three to four products expected in the first half of next year, without pricing or production details.
The debut shows Chery applying car-derived electric, thermal-management and electronic-architecture work to premium motorcycles, while Zero Dimension's own executives say the hardest part is absorbing motorcycle know-how rather than the technology.
「SUV 有了、轿车有了、MPV 也有了,你再买什么?中国家庭接下来要买的车,就是一台摩托。」
说这话的是奇瑞智能科技副总经理涂小岳。10 月 19 日,2026 奇瑞全球创新大会期间,奇瑞旗下的两轮公司零维科技第一次正式面对媒体。芜湖下着雨,展台上摆着一台白色的增程巡航车、一台银色的电动探索踏板,还有一顶能把导航投到眼前的智能头盔。

车企造摩托,这件事本身不算新闻。宝马、本田早就两条腿走路,长城有灵魂,吉利有钱江,长安刚把轻骑收入囊中。真正值得多看两眼的是,奇瑞给这家公司定的目标,听上去不太像一家摩托车厂。
出口是本田的四倍,利润不到六成
先算一笔账。中国摩托车商会的数据显示,2025 年全国摩托车销量约 2197 万辆,其中出口 1337 万辆,连续 31 年全球第一。但国内销量在下滑,燃油摩托内销同比减少 6.18%;唯一逆势猛涨的是 250cc 以上的大排量休闲车型,全年卖出 95 万辆,增长近 26%。
