Media Report: Yoliang Launches China’s First Export Vehicle Sourcing Hub Among Auctions
As China’s used vehicle export industry continues to expand, exporters are increasingly seeking scalable, standardized, and digitally enabled sourcing channels. The Yoliang Company recently announced the launch of a dedicated Export Vehicle Sourcing Hub on Yoliang Official App, making it one of the first leading used vehicle auction platforms in China to introduce a specialized procurement channel designed specifically for export-oriented buyers.
The Export Vehicle Sourcing Hub officially launched in June 2026. At the same time, Yoliang’s English-language global website has entered pilot operation, providing international buyers and export partners with enhanced access to China’s growing inventory of export-ready used vehicles.
Built upon Yoliang’s nationwide standardized vehicle supply network and proprietary intelligent matching algorithms, the new platform is designed to improve sourcing efficiency for export service providers, wholesalers, and professional dealers by streamlining vehicle discovery, screening, and procurement.
Users of the Yoliang mobile app can access the Export Vehicle section through the Featured Inventory homepage, where they can browse vehicles that meet export procurement requirements. Comprehensive vehicle inspection reports, condition data, and intelligent filtering tools enable buyers to efficiently identify and procure suitable inventory at scale.
Rising Used Vehicle Exports Drive Demand for Professional Sourcing Platforms
Driven by supportive government policies and growing international demand, China’s used vehicle exports have expanded steadily in recent years, reaching an increasing number of overseas markets.
According to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), China’s used vehicle market has maintained stable growth, while vehicle exports have become an increasingly important component of the country’s automotive circulation industry. As more companies enter the export business, efficiently securing stable, transparent, and export-qualified vehicle supply has become one of the industry’s primary challenges.
Industry observers note that compared with traditional decentralized offline sourcing, digital auction platforms centralize standardized inventory, improve information transparency, reduce cross-regional procurement costs, and are increasingly becoming an important sourcing channel for export-oriented enterprises.
International Best Practices Demonstrate the Strategic Role of Auction Platforms
In mature automotive markets around the world, wholesale vehicle auctions have long served as a critical procurement channel for export businesses. Professional exporters routinely source vehicles through auction platforms that integrate inspection, bidding, logistics, and export services into a comprehensive supply chain, supporting used vehicle exports to markets worldwide.
Industry experts believe China’s auction platforms are beginning to play a similar role. Supported by standardized inspections, nationwide inventory coverage, and digital transaction capabilities, these platforms help exporters improve procurement efficiency, lower sourcing costs, and facilitate cross-regional vehicle circulation.
Since the Export Vehicle Sourcing Hub launched in June, it has attracted growing interest from China’s used vehicle export community. Export service providers operating from major export gateways—including Guangzhou, Khorgos, and Suifenhe—as well as exporters based in inland cities such as Chongqing, Chengdu, and Zhengzhou, have begun sourcing export inventory through Yoliang Auctions. Leveraging Yoliang’s large standardized vehicle inventory, these companies have accelerated export preparation and shortened vehicle sourcing cycles.
Competitive Pricing Strengthens China’s Position in Global Used Vehicle Markets
China’s domestic used vehicle market remains in a period of price normalization.
According to data from the China Automobile Dealers Association, 8.095 million used vehicles were traded nationwide during the first five months of 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 2.3%. During the same period, China’s ratio of new passenger vehicle sales to used vehicle transactions reached 1:1 for the first time, marking an important milestone in the country’s automotive market development.
Meanwhile, the YP30 Used Vehicle Wholesale Price Index, published by The Yoliang Company, declined from 73 points in May 2026 to 70 points in June, following a peak of 84 points in March and three consecutive months of moderation. The index reached its lowest level in nearly one year, reflecting continued market normalization while underscoring the increasingly important role of used vehicles within China’s automotive circulation system.
Industry analysts believe that as domestic used vehicle prices continue to stabilize, Chinese used vehicles are becoming increasingly competitive in international markets, creating favorable conditions for sustained export growth. More exporters are adopting digital procurement platforms to scale sourcing operations and respond more efficiently to overseas demand.
AI-Powered Digital Tools Improve Export Procurement Efficiency
The newly launched Export Vehicle Sourcing Hub incorporates proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms developed by The Yoliang Company. Based on export procurement requirements, the platform intelligently analyzes multiple vehicle attributes—including brand, model, vehicle age, mileage, and inspection results—to recommend inventory that best matches the requirements of different countries and regional markets.
The Yoliang Company has also recently introduced additional digital products, including its AI-powered Vehicle Acquisition Assistant and the industry’s proprietary PowerBid intelligent auction operation dashboard. Together, these technologies enhance procurement management, inventory organization, and business collaboration, enabling exporters to operate more efficiently throughout the vehicle sourcing process.
Industry observers believe that as artificial intelligence, big data, and digital technologies become increasingly integrated into the used vehicle circulation sector, digital platforms will continue improving information matching across the export supply chain while accelerating the industry’s transition toward greater standardization and scale.
Building a Digital Infrastructure for China’s Used Vehicle Export Industry
As one of China’s leading technology-driven used vehicle auction platforms, The Yoliang Company is playing an increasingly important role in both the domestic wholesale market and China’s expanding automotive export ecosystem.
Looking ahead, the company plans to further strengthen its export-related products and services by continuously enhancing vehicle sourcing, intelligent matching, and digital procurement capabilities. These initiatives aim to provide export service providers, wholesalers, and professional dealers with more efficient access to standardized vehicle supply.
Industry experts believe that as China’s used vehicle exports continue to expand, digital auction platforms are emerging as essential infrastructure connecting domestic vehicle supply with global market demand. By improving transaction efficiency, reducing circulation costs, and advancing standardized services, these platforms are expected to further strengthen the international competitiveness of China’s used vehicle export industry while providing robust digital support for the global expansion of Chinese used vehicles.

Yoliang Contributes to China’s Two New National Used Vehicle Appraisal Standards
The China Consumer Product Quality and Safety Promotion Association (CPQS) has officially released and implemented two updated industry standards for used vehicle appraisal and inspection:
T/CPQS A0011—2025: Specification for Used Passenger Vehicle Inspection and Appraisal
T/CPQS A0012—2025: Specification for Used Battery Electric Passenger Vehicle Inspection and Appraisal
The two standards replace their respective 2022 editions and establish a comprehensive appraisal framework covering both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
The Yoliang Company, through its operating entity Suzhou Zheyuan Information Technology Co., Ltd., played an active role in drafting, revising, validating, and implementing both standards. The company’s participation further demonstrates its position as one of China’s leading digital used vehicle circulation platforms, combining extensive operational expertise with recognized contributions to industry standardization.
Standardized Vehicle Inspection Forms the Foundation of Market Trust
Vehicle inspection and appraisal are fundamental to establishing trust, supporting accurate pricing, and improving circulation efficiency throughout the used vehicle market.
As China’s used vehicle industry continues to expand and the stock of pre-owned electric vehicles grows rapidly, the industry has faced several long-standing challenges, including inconsistent inspection methodologies, the absence of standardized evaluation criteria for EV battery systems, and varying inspection practices across different organizations.
To address these challenges, CPQS initiated a comprehensive revision of its industry standards, bringing together leading automotive circulation enterprises with extensive operational data, advanced digital inspection technologies, and nationwide service capabilities. Working closely with industry experts, participating organizations contributed practical experience from real-world vehicle inspection and transaction scenarios to refine the technical requirements of the new standards.
Large-Scale Industry Practice Supports Standards Development
The Yoliang Company’s contribution to both standards reflects years of investment in large-scale digital vehicle circulation and intelligent inspection technologies.
As one of China’s leading B2B used vehicle auction platforms, Yoliang conducts one of the industry’s largest volumes of professional vehicle inspections each year. Through its nationwide auction operations, the company has accumulated a comprehensive database covering millions of inspection records for both conventional and new energy vehicles.
Its nationwide online auction platform serves professional automotive dealers across China, while annual transaction volumes consistently place the company among the country’s leading wholesale used vehicle marketplaces.
The company’s proprietary AI-powered inspection platform, Yoliang SmartCheck, has been widely deployed across dealership networks nationwide.
The system utilizes digital inspection models to evaluate key vehicle attributes, including:
Vehicle body and structural integrity
Chassis condition
Electronic and electrical system diagnostics
Mileage authenticity verification
For battery electric vehicles, Yoliang SmartCheck also incorporates dedicated evaluation procedures covering:
High-voltage battery degradation
Battery management system (BMS) diagnostics
Electric drivetrain performance
Battery safety classification
These capabilities are supported by extensive operational experience across vehicle acquisition, inspection, wholesale remarketing, and auction transactions, providing valuable quantitative data and practical validation for the development of the updated standards.
Advancing Data-Driven Standards for Conventional and Electric Vehicles
During the drafting process, Yoliang’s vehicle appraisal specialists and technology development teams leveraged extensive inspection and transaction data collected through the company’s digital marketplace.
Based on practical operating experience, the company submitted recommendations covering multiple technical areas, including:
Damage classification methodologies for passenger vehicles
Standardized digital inspection reporting
Dedicated appraisal procedures for electric vehicle powertrain systems
Battery residual value assessment methodologies
These recommendations helped address important gaps in previous industry standards, particularly with respect to battery electric vehicle evaluation, while promoting greater consistency among dealerships, auction companies, and independent inspection service providers nationwide.
The updated standards are expected to accelerate the industry’s transition from experience-based inspections toward standardized, data-driven, and digitally enabled appraisal practices.
Intelligent Technologies Continue to Modernize Used Vehicle Circulation
Beyond standards development, The Yoliang Company continues to invest heavily in digital infrastructure for China’s used vehicle industry.
The company focuses on technology-enabled B2B vehicle circulation, combining online vehicle auctions with AI-powered inspection solutions, dealer operational services, and industry standardization initiatives.
Its integrated platform connects vehicle manufacturers, authorized dealerships, trade-in operations, standardized inspections, nationwide online auctions, and cross-regional vehicle delivery into a unified circulation ecosystem serving thousands of dealership groups representing both luxury and mainstream automotive brands throughout China.
Powered by proprietary digital technologies and a nationwide network of professional dealers, the platform helps reduce inventory turnover time, improve vehicle remarketing efficiency, and lower circulation costs while supporting the broader modernization of China’s automotive distribution industry.
Industry observers believe the implementation of these two new appraisal standards will further strengthen trust throughout China’s used vehicle marketplace.
As one of the few digital auction platforms that participated in developing both the conventional vehicle and battery electric vehicle standards, The Yoliang Company combines large-scale transaction capabilities, comprehensive inspection databases, and practical AI deployment to help accelerate the adoption of standardized inspection methodologies across dealer networks nationwide.
These efforts are expected to contribute to the high-quality, large-scale development of China’s used vehicle industry while establishing new benchmarks for digital transformation and industry standardization.
