Yoliang Provides Nationwide Used Vehicle Circulation Support to Ford

Yoliang has recently entered into a cooperation agreement with Ford, under which Yoliang will provide used vehicle circulation services to Ford and its dealer network across China. The cooperation covers key areas including used vehicle sourcing, trade-in vehicle disposal and vehicle inspection, with Yoliang Auctions providing end-to-end auction service support.

As vehicle trade-in programs continue to develop, used vehicles have become an increasingly important component of automotive dealers’ overall business operations. For dealers, improving the efficiency of trade-in vehicle disposal, reducing inventory cycles and establishing stable and efficient used vehicle sourcing channels have become important aspects of used vehicle operations. At the same time, the role of used vehicle operations in supporting new vehicle sales has become increasingly evident as China’s automotive circulation industry enters a new stage in 2026.

The Yoliang Company will leverage its digital auction capabilities, nationwide used vehicle transaction network and AI-powered inspection technology to support Ford and its dealer partners across key areas of used vehicle operations, including vehicle sourcing, trade-in vehicle disposal and inspection.

Through Yoliang’s nationwide used vehicle transaction network, trade-in vehicles generated by Ford dealers across China can be made available to professional buyers nationwide through Yoliang’s digital transaction platform. Hundreds of thousands of active used vehicle dealers can participate in the sourcing of these vehicles through Yoliang, expanding circulation channels for dealer trade-in inventory while providing used vehicle operators with additional sourcing options. This creates a broader connection between automotive brand dealers and participants across the used vehicle ecosystem.

Digital Auction Infrastructure Supports Used Vehicle Transactions

On the transaction side, Yoliang’s PowerBid auction system and PowerBid control dashboard are already being used in B2B used vehicle transactions. Through online bidding and digital transaction tools, the system supports the organization of multi-vehicle and multi-session auctions, providing transaction support for dealer used vehicle sourcing and the disposal of trade-in inventory.

Launched in July 2024, the PowerBid control dashboard has been widely adopted by used vehicle dealers across China, reflecting the continued development of digital tools within the country’s used vehicle circulation industry.

For used vehicle businesses, the value of digital transactions extends beyond moving the process online. By expanding the connection between buyers and sellers, digital transaction networks can improve the circulation of vehicle information and increase the efficiency of transaction responses.

Through services including Yoliang Global, Yoliang’s international independent website, the company will also support Ford’s dealer partners in connecting trade-in vehicle inventory with international used vehicle markets.

AI Technology Supports Vehicle Inspection

In addition to transaction services, Yoliang will provide Ford and its dealer partners with support for AI-powered vehicle inspection.

Yoliang’s Yoliang SmartCheck combines artificial intelligence and digital technologies to assist with the identification and analysis of vehicle-condition information, including exterior condition, paintwork, structural components, operating condition and the status of key electric vehicle systems.

The system is designed to improve inspection efficiency while supporting more standardized management of vehicle-condition information across used vehicle operations.

In recent years, digital applications in China’s used vehicle industry have expanded from transaction tools into multiple stages of the vehicle lifecycle, including inspection, information management and vehicle circulation.

For automotive brands and their dealer networks, the application of digital transaction networks and AI technologies can further support the standardization and operational efficiency of used vehicle businesses, while strengthening the connection between new vehicle dealers, used vehicle operators and the broader automotive circulation ecosystem.
