Chery’s Exeed Strikes ACO Deal, Sets Five-Year Path Toward Le Mans

Overview

• Exeed has signed a strategic cooperation with Le Mans organizer ACO, anchoring a multi‑year plan to reach the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
• The roadmap starts with an in‑house Exeed Unified Race series in China to build technical capability and develop driver talent.
• Exeed intends to step into the Asian Le Mans Series as a progression toward an eventual factory entry at Le Mans.
• Chery and the ACO will collaborate on a Le Mans‑certified circuit in Wuhu to support testing, development, and fan engagement.
• The company has not set a class or firm debut date, and reporting suggests a Garage 56‑style invitation is a plausible route that would represent the first factory‑backed Chinese effort at Le Mans.
