6 China-made Chery models to hit KL roads

KUALA LUMPUR: Six models of China's Chery cars will hit Malaysian
roads in 2005, local distributor Alado Corp. said in remarks
published on Friday.

Alado will launch a road show for the Chery A15 1.6 liter
sedan and T11 sports utility vehicle on Jan. 19, and has
appointed 50 dealers nationwide to market the vehicles, executive
chairman Soh Thiam Hong was quoted as saying by The Star
newspaper.

"We will also bring in the Chery A21 sedan, B14 multi-purpose
vehicle, S12 mini-car and the P11 sports utility truck by the end
of the year," he said.

Soh said Alado had shelved plans to launch the Chery QQ
compact car amid an ongoing spat over intellectual property
rights with General Motors.

General Motors has claimed that Chery had infringed
intellectual property rights with its car which is similar to its
own Spark model. -- AFP
