ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Chery's decision to launch a diesel plug-in hybrid ute will put pressure on other manufacturers to respond with similar technology, potentially disrupting the traditional ute market.

Competitor Response

The arrival of the Stockman will force brands like Toyota and Ford to reassess their ute offerings, particularly in terms of powertrain options, to remain competitive in the Australian market.

The Stockman's combined 350kW and 800Nm output will set a new benchmark for performance in the ute segment, making it a compelling option for customers seeking a balance of power and efficiency.

Showroom Traffic and Stock

Dealers can expect increased interest in the Stockman, driven by its unique powertrain and impressive performance figures, which will likely attract customers who are looking for a point of difference in the ute market.

The diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain will also appeal to customers who require a vehicle for both on-road and off-road use, potentially increasing showroom traffic and sales for Chery dealers.

Pricing and Margin

Chery will need to carefully consider the pricing of the Stockman to ensure it remains competitive with other ute offerings in the market, while also providing a reasonable margin for dealers.

Dealers should be prepared to highlight the benefits of the Stockman's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, including its performance, efficiency, and environmental advantages, to justify a potential premium price.

This week, dealers should review their current ute stock and pricing to identify opportunities to promote the Stockman and its unique features, and prepare their sales teams to effectively communicate the vehicle's benefits to customers.
