LEPAS showcases smart parking as Chery expands AI and mobility tech

At Chery’s 2026 Global Innovation Conference in Wuhu, the automaker highlighted robotaxis, robotics, charging systems and other AI-driven technologies. LEPAS used the event to preview its Super Intelligent Valet Parking system ahead of planned market launches in five European countries in 2027.

Why it matters: - Chery is pushing its technology beyond cars into robotics, autonomous mobility and energy systems. - LEPAS is signaling which smart features may reach customers as it prepares to enter the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden in the first half of 2027. - The showcase shows how automakers are trying to turn advanced driver-assistance and AI systems into everyday convenience features.

What happened: - Chery opened its 2026 Global Innovation Conference on Oct. 20 in Wuhu, China. - The event highlighted Chery’s technology portfolio in robotics, autonomous mobility, energy solutions and smart applications. - LEPAS, Chery Group’s premium new-energy vehicle brand, presented its Super Intelligent Valet Parking system. - LEPAS plans to enter the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden in the first half of 2027.

The details: - Chery’s portfolio is built on CheryMind, a foundation model designed for physical AI, and on Ziwei chips developed in-house. - AiMOGA robots use embodied AI and already operate in more than 60 countries and regions. - Chery has delivered more than 3,000 AiMOGA robots for concierge and public-service uses. - Chery’s Level 4 robotaxi is factory-integrated and uses Falcon Pilot intelligent driving technology. - The robotaxi has UN/ECE certification and is designed for road conditions in more than 130 countries and regions. - Related technologies are being applied in eVTOL aircraft and smart agriculture. - Chery says automated operations have been validated on more than 66,000 hectares of farmland. - Chery’s Volt-dragon ultrafast charging and V2G stations connect solar power, energy storage and megawatt charging into local microgrids. - Chery says the system has been deployed at an electric-truck site in Spain. - Chery plans to build 20,000 V2G stations worldwide by 2029. - LEPAS’s SIVP combines digital garage mapping, navigation and optimized sensor fusion to enable autonomous parking in designated enclosed spaces. - Drivers can summon a vehicle from a parking spot with a smartphone app. - Drivers can also leave the vehicle at an entry point, where the car finds a space, plans the route and parks itself. - The system can search for open spaces and handle tight parking spots. - LEPAS says SIVP will first appear in models including the LEPAS L8 PHEV. - Initial rollout is planned for select markets, including the Middle East. - LEPAS also offers APA and RPA across the L8, L6 and L4 model lines. - Those systems are paired with ADAS and 540° Panoramic Transparent Imaging for parking support.

Between the lines: - Chery is positioning its EV and mobility business as a platform for broader commercial applications, not just passenger cars. - The company is tying localization to its international expansion, signaling that technology packages may be adapted to regional regulations and infrastructure. - LEPAS is using smart parking as a visible example of how premium EV brands can differentiate on convenience, not only on range or price.

What's next: - LEPAS will disclose launch timing, model availability and local sales and service details later. - The brand is building partnerships in its planned European markets ahead of launch. - Chery’s V2G buildout and other cross-industry applications are expected to expand over the coming years.

The bottom line: - Chery is turning its core vehicle engineering into a wider AI and energy ecosystem, while LEPAS is using smart parking to package that strategy into a customer-facing feature set.
