Auto Export | Global After-sales Service | Overseas Dealer Cooperation

🌍 1. China's Auto Global Expansion: Scale Meets Service

In 2025, China's automobile exports reached 7.098 million units, a year-on-year increase of 21.1%, securing China's position as the world's top auto exporter for the third consecutive year.

As overseas vehicle parc continues to grow, a comprehensive after-sales service system has become the core competitiveness for Chinese automakers deepening their presence in global markets. From spare parts supply to maintenance networks, from technical training to digital tools, a standardized, localized, and efficient overseas after-sales system is rapidly taking shape.

Service Philosophy: Selling a vehicle is only the beginning — service is the foundation of long-term partnership. We are committed to delivering after-sales support that meets the same high standards our customers expect in their home markets.

🔧 2. Four Pillars of End-to-End After-Sales Support

Pillar 1: Global Spare Parts Network — Fast Delivery, Always Available

Efficient parts supply is the lifeline of after-sales service. Through a two-tier warehousing layout — Regional Distribution Centers + Forward Stocking Locations — we ensure rapid response for critical parts.

Three-Tier Warehousing Layout:

Regional Distribution Center — Full-range parts inventory, multi-country coverage. Located at regional hubs (Dubai / Mexico City / Bangkok, etc.). Delivery time: 3–5 days in core regions.
Forward Stocking Location — Fast-moving wear parts allocation. Located in key sales cities. Delivery time: 24–48 hours.
Outlet Consumables Stock — Routine maintenance parts on hand at authorized service outlets. Delivery time: immediate access.

Data-Driven Inventory: Based on sales data and local climate characteristics, we intelligently forecast high-failure parts and pre-stock them to ensure availability even during peak seasons.

Pillar 2: Authorized Service Network — Wide Coverage, Professional Repair

We establish a tiered authorized service network to ensure customers have access to professional maintenance services in their region.

Four-Tier Service Network:

Brand Service Center — Full-function repair, HV battery & electric system, body & paint. For flagship outlets in core cities.
Authorized Service Station — Routine maintenance, fault diagnosis, parts replacement. For key regional cities.
Partner Repair Outlet — Basic maintenance, wear-parts replacement. For downstream market coverage.
Mobile Service Vehicle — On-site maintenance, emergency rescue. For remote areas and fleet clients.

Unified Service Standards: All authorized outlets follow unified service procedures, pricing systems, and quality standards to ensure a consistent brand experience.

Pillar 3: Professional Technical Training — Certified Technicians, Expert Repair

Addressing the technical characteristics of new energy vehicles, we have established a systematic technician training and certification system.

Three-Tier Certification Progression:

🟢 Level 1 (Basic) — Routine maintenance, basic fault diagnosis, wear-parts replacement.
🟡 Level 2 (Intermediate) — Three-electric system inspection, smart cockpit troubleshooting, chassis repair.
🔴 Level 3 (Advanced) — Battery pack disassembly & repair, in-depth HV system diagnosis, ADAS calibration.

Training Support:

Regional training centers equipped with practical test benches and training vehicles.
Remote technical support channel with domestic engineers.
Regular technical update training synchronized with the latest model repair techniques.

Pillar 4: Digital Service Tools — Smart & Efficient, Fully Managed

Through digital tools, we achieve full-process visibility and traceability of services.

Four Core Digital Systems:

DMS (Dealer Management System) — Unified management of service orders, parts inventory, and customer profiles. Value: standardized service workflow.
Customer Service Platform — Online booking, progress tracking, one-click rescue. Value: transparent customer experience.
Remote Diagnosis Platform — Real-time DTC transmission, AI-assisted prediction. Value: improved repair efficiency.
