In his welcoming remarks, General Manager of Bee Motors Han Ming Kwang said the company’s decision to introduce Chery to Brunei was driven by the brand’s global growth, investment in research and development, diverse powertrain technologies and strong focus on safety.

Chery is the world’s number one Chinese passenger vehicle exporter, with more than 20 million vehicles sold globally and a presence in more than 120 countries and regions.
