Recently, Pirelli was awarded two important honors by Chery Jaguar Land Rover in the 2022-2023 "Outstanding Merchants" and "Ten Year Achievement Award". The achievement was unveiled at the award ceremony at the Pirelli Asia Pacific R&D Innovation Center in Yanzhou, Shandong Province, attended by Qin Jiayang, Executive Vice President of Procurement at Chery Jaguar Land Rover, and Francesco Giuliano, Chief Technology Officer of Pirelli Asia Pacific.
For the second year in a row, Pirelli received the "Outstanding Vendor" award for its excellence in product quality, delivery efficiency and quick response to customer needs. It is understood that this award is based on a comprehensive evaluation of many aspects, including quality, cost, delivery and organizational capabilities, etc., which is the highest affirmation of Chery Jaguar Land Rover for its leading businessmen. In addition, Pirelli was the only company to receive the "Achievement of the Decade Award" in recognition of its close cooperation and outstanding contribution to Chery Jaguar Land Rover over the past ten years.
Since Chery Jaguar Land Rover was founded in 2012, Pirelli has been a valued partner. Pirelli offers customised tyres for a number of Jaguar Land Rover models, including the ScorpionTM Verde tyres for the 2015 Range Rover Evoque. With its excellent performance in all road conditions, low rolling resistance and reduced weight, this tire achieves the goals of energy saving, comfort, safety and environmental protection. Pirelli also supplies the P Zero range of high-performance tyres and Cinturato P7TM tyres for all Jaguar models in China, including the Jaguar XFL, XEL and E-Pace. Especially since this year, Jaguar XFL and XEL models have started to use tires with Seal InsideTM technology, an innovative technology that instantly repairs tires in the event of a puncture, improving safety.
The senior management of both sides highly recognized the achievement of this cooperation. Chery Jaguar Land Rover's Qin Jiayang emphasized the unity and excellence shown by both parties in the face of the challenges of the ** chain in the past year. Pirelli's Giuliano said the two accolades are not only a recognition of the excellent quality of Pirelli's Yanzhou products, but also a reflection of the close cooperation and in-depth understanding between the two companies over the past decade. He stressed that these experiences will help the two sides to further cooperate in the field of customized tires in the future.
