PAIDI Technology, an independently operated eco-technology brand under Chery Holding Group, used two April 2026 global summits hosted by Chery to showcase its compact electric commercial vehicle lineup to international buyers. The company said the events drew merchants from nearly 100 countries and regions across Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa, positioning PAIDI’s small urban-delivery EVs for a broader export push. The brand operates under Chery Holding’s commercial vehicle arm, which sits separately from the publicly listed Chery Automobile passenger-car business following Chery’s September 2025 Hong Kong IPO.
Highlights
- PAIDI Technology presented its core electric urban-delivery models to international buyers from nearly 100 countries during two Chery Group global events in April 2026.
- The brand’s primary vehicle measures 3,330 × 1,080 × 1,700 mm and offers a manufacturer-stated cruising range of 100 kilometers (62 miles), powered by a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery.
- PAIDI is targeting last-mile logistics, courier fleets, and small-business operators in markets across Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa.
Vehicle Specifications and Target Use Cases
PAIDI’s core models are built around a compact footprint of 3,330 mm in length, 1,080 mm in width, and 1,700 mm in height — dimensions consistent with China’s small electric microvan and light commercial vehicle segment used widely for last-mile delivery. The vehicles use lithium iron phosphate cells, the chemistry favored across China’s commercial EV segment for thermal stability, cycle life, and lower cost compared with nickel-based formulations.
The manufacturer-stated cruising range is 100 kilometers (approximately 62 miles) on a single charge. PAIDI did not disclose the test cycle used for that figure, and the range has not been independently verified under WLTP, CLTC, or any other homologation standard cited in the announcement. Battery capacity, charging speed, motor output, payload capacity, and gross vehicle weight were not disclosed.
PAIDI positions the vehicles for couriers, urban freight workers, and small or micro-business operators, with the company highlighting use cases in urban short-distance logistics and light distribution.
Chery Ecosystem and Manufacturing Backing
PAIDI sits within Chery Holding Group’s broader commercial vehicle portfolio, which also includes Karry Auto, C&C Trucks, and Chery & Wanda Buses. The brand draws on Chery’s industrial chain for manufacturing capacity and supply chain support, and the company said its vehicles are produced using passenger-vehicle-grade processes.
This is not Chery Holding’s first push into export-oriented electric light commercial vehicles. The group launched the Pelkan electric LCV through a 2024 joint venture with European clean-mobility provider B-ON, targeting European and North American fleet customers with a payload capacity of up to 1,350 kg. PAIDI’s positioning differs — focused on smaller, lower-cost urban-delivery vehicles rather than full-size delivery vans — but it extends the same underlying export strategy.
The April events form part of a wider Chery global calendar that has included new model debuts and brand launches across the group’s portfolio, including the Tiggo V transformable PHEV at Auto China 2026.
Outlook
PAIDI did not announce specific export volumes, market entry timelines, distribution partners, or pricing tied to the summits. The company also did not name the two events, identify confirmed buyer commitments, or disclose homologation status for any target market.
Whether PAIDI’s compact urban-delivery EVs can secure meaningful share outside China will depend on regulatory homologation, dealer or fleet partnerships, and competitive positioning against established small-LCV players in each target region — none of which were detailed in the announcement.
