CBT Platform and Wango Group Forge Strategic Partnership to Jointly Build a New Ecosystem for End-to-End Automotive Export Services!

On April 1, 2026, the CBT Auto Export Platform (hereinafter referred to as the "CBT Platform") and Wango Group (hereinafter referred to as "Wango") held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony. Li Hongtao, Vice President of the CBT Platform, and Yu Jingyuan of Wango (Shanghai) Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. signed the cooperation agreement on behalf of their respective parties, officially establishing a strategic partnership. Together, they will focus on upgrading full-chain services for automotive exports, addressing industry pain points, and empowering Chinese automobiles to expand overseas efficiently. Their joint objective is to drive the Chinese automotive export industry toward greater standardization, brand building, and high-quality development.

Currently, China's automotive export industry is entering a brand-new stage of development; while new car exports are surging and used car exports are steadily expanding, the challenge that "going global is easy, but taking root is hard" remains prominent. Pain points—such as a lack of overseas after-sales services, imperfect warranty systems, and lagging spare parts supplies—have become critical bottlenecks hindering the enhancement of Chinese automobiles' international competitiveness and their ability to deeply cultivate overseas markets. The strategic cooperation between the CBT Platform and Wango Group is grounded in industry needs, aiming to achieve complementary strengths and resource synergy to construct a new paradigm driven by a "Exports + Services" dual-engine approach.

As a comprehensive service platform dedicated to the automotive export sector, the CBT Platform has, since its inception, consistently prioritized resolving industry pain points. It has established a full-chain service system encompassing vehicle sourcing integration, digital traffic generation, supply chain services, and customs clearance logistics. The platform has successfully integrated resources for both new and used vehicles, engaging in deep cooperation with state-owned enterprises, OEMs, and automotive dealer groups. It has secured authorizations from renowned automotive brands such as Geely, Zeekr, Jetour, and MG. Furthermore, leveraging its self-developed "CBT Kuai Shang Che" App, the "Junhang" Management System, and a multi-channel traffic generation strategy—including Alibaba International Station and various social media matrices—the platform provides domestic car dealers with efficient overseas client matching services. Simultaneously, it offers overseas dealers a guarantee of authentic, transparent, and compliant vehicle sources. Its innovative "SBBC" (Supplier-to-Business-to-Consumer) end-to-end model realizes a complete closed-loop service spanning the entire chain from the supply side to the end consumer, thereby significantly lowering the barriers and risks associated with automotive exports.

As a benchmark enterprise in the fields of automotive warranties and after-sales services, Wango Group possesses deep expertise and extensive experience in global automotive service network deployment, warranty system construction, and technical service capabilities. Wango Automotive Technology—a subsidiary of the Group—has independently developed "Wanfutong," a cross-border warranty product, and "Global Auto Services," a digital platform. These solutions have established a network of over 1,000 repair outlets across 52 countries. Specifically tailored for new energy vehicles, they feature a "Specialized Protection Plan for the Three-Electric Systems," which extends warranty coverage to core components such as the motor and transmission. Through initiatives involving overseas technician training, the export of diagnostic equipment, and the establishment of overseas spare parts warehouses, Wango has effectively resolved critical industry pain points—namely, the difficulties associated with repairs and the scarcity of spare parts abroad. This effort has transformed after-sales service for exported used cars from a mere "option" into an "essential requirement," thereby providing robust after-sales support to facilitate the global expansion of the Chinese automotive industry.

In accordance with the strategic cooperation agreement, both parties will engage in multi-dimensional and in-depth collaboration, guided by the principles of "complementary strengths, mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, and long-term synergy." On one hand, the CBT platform will leverage its core strengths—including vehicle sourcing integration, digital traffic generation, and supply chain services—to provide Wango Group with precise market entry points and customer resources for its overseas expansion. This initiative aims to deeply integrate Wango’s warranty services with the specific scenarios involved in exporting vehicles to overseas markets. On the other hand, Wango Group will provide the CBT platform with its mature warranty management systems, global after-sales network, and technical service capabilities. This support will enable CBT to offer comprehensive, systemic solutions for its exported vehicles—encompassing after-sales technical support, professional spare parts supply, and overseas repair services—thereby creating an integrated service loop that combines "vehicle export" with "after-sales assurance." Ultimately, this collaboration will significantly boost the purchasing confidence and ownership experience of overseas buyers, while simultaneously assisting the CBT platform in refining its industry ecosystem and enhancing its core competitiveness. During the signing ceremony, Li Hongtao, Vice President of the CBT Platform, stated: "This strategic partnership with the Wango Group represents a pivotal move for the CBT Platform as we work to refine our end-to-end service chain for automotive exports. Currently, China's automotive exports are shifting from a focus on 'exporting trade' to 'exporting brands and service ecosystems.' By leveraging our own platform resources and digital capabilities—and combining them with Wango's strengths in global after-sales assurance—we aim to break down industry service barriers. Our goal is to provide domestic automakers with more comprehensive support for their global expansion, offer overseas markets more reliable Chinese automotive products and services, and drive the transformation of Chinese automobiles in the international arena—moving from a reliance on 'price advantage' to a foundation of 'trusted value.'"

Yu Jingyuan, Co-founder and General Manager of the Overseas Business Division at Wango (Shanghai) Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., remarked: "The CBT Platform's capabilities in resource integration and digital deployment within the automotive export sector align perfectly with Wango's strategic direction of deeply cultivating the global automotive after-sales market. Through this collaboration, we will fully leverage our distinct advantages—particularly in warranty systems and overseas service networks—to join forces with the CBT Platform in building a global ecosystem for automotive export services. By resolving critical after-sales pain points and mitigating the risks associated with Chinese automakers' global expansion, we aim to empower more Chinese automotive enterprises to establish deep roots in overseas markets, thereby jointly advancing the national strategies for high-quality foreign trade development and brand globalization."

This strategic partnership between the CBT Platform and the Wango Group represents more than just a complementary alliance and a joint step forward for two enterprises; it serves as a microcosm of the Chinese automotive export industry's evolution toward greater systemic maturity and sophistication. Moving forward, both parties will continue to deepen their collaboration—constantly optimizing service workflows, expanding service boundaries, and perfecting the comprehensive service chain for automotive exports. By driving the high-quality development of China's automotive export industry, they aim to enable more Chinese automobiles to enter the global market backed by robust service assurances, thereby showcasing the comprehensive strength of China's automotive sector.
