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.
