With the world's attention focused on China due to the forth coming Olympics 2008 in Beijing, the huge country is also on the move to create a new product that the world market will surely love. The country is planning to use its newly developed A5 Hybrid cars from the Chinese car giant Chery in the of the Olympics. Resources said they will be using at least 50 A5 Hybrid cars for the whole world to see during the Olympics so that it will gain popularity and exposure in the worldwide market. It will assigned for use of the Olympic committee for the duration of the whole event. So do not get confuse with Chery to Chevy and Chery's A5 to Audi's A5.
The Chery A5 Hybrid car is a 6-seater sedan type that boast of its fuel consumption. It is also indicated in the reports that the hybrid car is environmentally safe.
The Chery A5 Hybrid will begin mass production after the 2008 Olympic Games, according to Inside Line. The car will be priced at an equivalent of $11,375 to $12,875, representing a 14 to 29 percent premium over the price of the gasoline-only A5.
In a country that homes 16 of the world's top 20 most polluted cities, it really is a need for them to start making environmentally friendly cars.
With different global views of the incoming Olympics game, protest and rallies amassing the streets, I sure hope that this car will get its rightful attention.
