Overseas Business Opportunities | Leading Domestic Used Car Dealers Set Up Shop in Qiantang, Hangzhou, with Annual Exports Exceeding 7,000 Vehicles

Encountering Chinese cars on overseas streets has become a common and popular topic on social media in recent years. From Cairo to Jakarta, and from the Pamir Plateau to the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, the number of cars with Chinese brand logos is increasing day by day. Behind this phenomenon, apart from the growing "outbound fleet" of Chinese automakers, many little - known used - car exporters also deserve credit.

In May 2019, three departments including the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "Notice on Supporting the Launch of Used - Car Export Business in Areas with Mature Conditions". Ten cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai became the first batch of pilot cities. In February 2024, the Ministry of Commerce issued new regulations to promote the used - car export business across the country. The number of registered enterprises soared from 400 to 2,800, greatly boosting the export scale.

Currently, the overseas expansion of Chinese used cars is shifting from a trade - oriented model to an industry - oriented one. Enterprises are no longer simply traders but integrators and value creators of the industrial chain. During the industry transformation process, what are the new demands and cooperation opportunities for used - car export enterprises? In June this year, the Hangzhou branch of Huazhicheng Automobile Sales and Service Company, a leading domestic used - car trading enterprise, was established in Qiantang District. General Manager Qi Jinlong shared with us the company's current business progress and cooperation opportunities.

【Company Name】

In 2022, the company was honored to be listed on the "Top 100 Chinese Automobile Dealers" list for its outstanding performance. In June 2025, the Hangzhou branch was established in Qiantang District.

【Overseas Business Introduction】

In December 2020, it was approved to be one of the first batch of pilot enterprises for parallel import of automobiles in Changchun City.

In February 2021, it obtained the qualification of the first batch of used - car export enterprises in Changchun City.

In March 2022, two Hongqi E - HS9s were successfully exported at the Khorgas Port, officially kicking off the used - car export business.

By the end of 2023, the cumulative number of exported vehicles reached 800, with an export value of 100 million RMB.

By the end of 2024, the cumulative number of exported vehicles exceeded 7,000, with an export value of over 570 million RMB.

Currently, the company has established stable cooperation with many automobile manufacturers, large - scale dealers, leading domestic used - car wholesalers, domestic sales markets, and multiple vehicle auction platforms. Many automakers have authorized it to carry out used - car export business and provide follow - up services. The main destinations for used - car exports include Belgium, Dubai, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Belarus, among other countries.

【Current Business Goals】

In the past few years, with the guidance and support of national macro - policies, the used - car export industry has achieved rapid development, driving up the overseas popularity of domestic automobile brands. As more and more automakers actively "go global" and establish distribution networks overseas, the used - car export industry is also facing transformation.

Qi Jinlong, General Manager of Hangzhou Huazhicheng Automobile Sales Co., Ltd.: "The scale of the domestic used - car inventory is constantly increasing. At present, our business focus is shifting to selling used cars that have been phased out of the domestic market to markets in Africa and other regions with high demand for vehicles but relatively limited purchasing power.

【Cooperation Opportunities/Demands】

· Business Demands

Attract and connect with more local used - car retailers overseas to develop sales channels directly targeting overseas C - end consumers.

· Cooperation Opportunities

The company can provide channel support and services such as capital advance, cross - border logistics, and used - car sources for domestic used - car exporters.
