In 2025, the scope of subsidies for scrapping and updating old operating trucks will be expanded to operating trucks with emission standards of National IV and below, aiming to accelerate the elimination of old vehicles and promote the promotion and application of new energy logistics vehicles.

The implementation of this policy will lead to the elimination of a large number of trucks with National IV and below standards, forming a huge second-hand car supply market. At the same time, the policy also emphasizes the promotion of second-hand commodity transactions and the upgrading of the remanufacturing industry, and supports the export of used cars. This has brought new business opportunities to Chinese second-hand car export companies.

The current situation and challenges of the second-hand new energy logistics vehicle market

At present, the second-hand new energy logistics vehicle market is still in its early stages of development, with problems such as lack of evaluation standards and opaque market information. With the decline in the price of new cars, the price advantage of second-hand cars has weakened, resulting in challenges for second-hand car dealers in the acquisition and sales process.

However, with the establishment of official second-hand car platforms and policy support, the market is moving towards standardization and transparency.

Opportunities for second-hand car exports

The policy clearly supports the export of second-hand cars that meet relevant requirements such as quality, which provides a new boost for second-hand car export companies.

For Chinese exporters, the potential overseas market is very broad. Regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America have high demand for cost-effective logistics solutions and are major target markets. Given the demand for environmentally friendly and low-cost operating solutions in these regions, these regions are likely to welcome refurbished electric logistics vehicles from China.

In addition, exporting second-hand cars can also enhance the influence of Chinese auto brands in overseas markets and pave the way for the sales of new cars.

Strategic recommendations for second-hand car export companies

Establish a sound evaluation and preparation system: ensure the quality of exported vehicles and enhance recognition in overseas markets.

Expand overseas market channels: deeply understand the needs and regulations of the target market and establish a stable sales network.

Cooperate with OEMs: use the resources and brand advantages of OEMs to jointly develop overseas markets.

Pay attention to policy trends: keep abreast of relevant domestic and foreign policies to ensure business compliance.
