LONDON: Chinese firm “Chery Commercial Vehicle (CCV)” is set to establish its first European headquarters in “Liverpool”, marking a major boost for the city’s advanced manufacturing and new-energy vehicle sector, local authorities announced on Thursday.
According to Liverpool City Council, the new headquarters will act as CCV’s central base for its European operations, overseeing “research, engineering, innovation, and commercial development” across the region. The project is expected to generate “high-value employment opportunities” in areas such as engineering, software development, research and development, and operational management.
Officials said the investment will also deepen collaboration with local research institutions and innovation hubs, while creating fresh opportunities for regional suppliers within the manufacturing supply chain.
