The collaboration aims to create a smart cockpit, accelerate the integration of automotive and home ecosystems, and offer consumers unparalleled convenience and comfort in both travel and living spaces.

Car-Home Connectivity: Redefining the Future of Smart Spaces

As a Fortune 500 company, Chery recognizes the critical importance of embracing expansion and innovation. With the rapid rise of AIoT, the convergence of smart environments has become an inevitable trend. Recognizing the growing integration of home and vehicle spaces in modern lifestyles, Chery has expanded its focus from the automotive domain to smart home ecosystems, aiming to establish a seamless car-home connectivity system that enriches the smart living experience for users.

In this context, Chery has chosen to collaborate with Tuya. Tuya is a global leading cloud platform service provider with a mission to build a smart solutions developer ecosystem and enable everything to be smart.
