ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Stockman's payload shortfall has significant implications for Chery's ability to compete in the Australian ute market, where payload capacity is a key consideration for fleet buyers

What it means for the order bank

Dealers should be prepared for potential delays in customer deliveries, which could impact their sales forecasts and inventory management

The Stockman's diesel hybrid powertrain is a unique selling point, but the payload shortfall may undermine its appeal to customers who require a ute that can handle heavy loads

Competitor response

Rivals such as other Chinese brands and established ute manufacturers will likely seize on the Stockman's payload shortfall as a marketing opportunity to promote their own vehicles' capabilities

Chery's efforts to develop the Stockman's payload capacity will be closely watched by dealers and customers, and a successful resolution will be crucial to the vehicle's commercial success

Taking action

This week, dealers can start preparing for potential customer inquiries about the Stockman's payload capacity by reviewing their sales scripts and developing responses that address the issue and highlight the vehicle's other strengths
